Mike he called me tonight and it sounds like a decent truck. I talked to my buddy and we may go look at it sometime this week. Maybe we could meet and have a beer.

Yeah Lee it cant get old fixin someone elses junk all the time especially if they arent giving you anything in return for doin it. Once in a while is ok but if your getting taken advantage then that is no fun.

Dave that is a sharp bike! Did it come that color or did you paint it?

Thanks Troy! It came that color. At first I wanted to change the color, but it's grown on me and I've yet to see one like it...

There is a guy in town with a '39 Ford coupe that color with some flames on the hood and fenders. The flames are the ones that look real. Looks sharp with that color. What year is it? Do you ride it quite a bit?

The Torino I bought last year. It had some front end damage. Needed a hood and fender and grill. Right now it's at the body shop so that stuff can be finished. It is a stock 302 and auto right now. I have a 347 stroker I built for a Mustang project I scratched. So I'm thinking about putting that in...

Yeah, I have too many cars. But I hate to sell any. I've put to much time into them.

Yeah I know what you mean about to many vehicles. My wife usually starts complaining about it when the insurances all comes due. What color is the Torino gonna be when your done? That stroker motor should make the car a nice strong driver!
