50’s male looking for information
I suffer boredom constantly... Mid 50's ok shape.. got time and a little money and work part time helping people on there pre 80's hot rod projects.. i.e. something I like doing with people that are enjoying the process...
With that said I try and find projects that inspire me...
For instance, I kept seeing this old mini bike at a costumers and after a year asked about it.. bought it and did a frame off restoration... The grand kids are almost old enough.. until then grandpa will have to ride it around the block every six months or so...:D...
For something different I grabbed a friend and went go-karting, well I seen all those personal karts and started talking to the very positive and friendly people that owned them.. learned to observe the kind and way local kart racing is done as it depending on where you live.. dirt racing road racing sizes of engines and stuff like that... Quickly I got in with a group of guys my age and we just dial each other up and figure out a day we'd like to go and generally have the track to ourselves... Lots of fun...
I recently took up the electric guitar 6 months ago. Just for fun and learning and something to do to keep me from being bored.. I still suck but I've learned a lot...
Speaking of new truck I can't afford a new truck that's crazy talk. But I did buy a 74 Power Wagon that I have a thread in the restoration part of the Forum. I'm inspired by it as I'm finally doing something from the frame up...
This will be my new truck one piece at a time the way I can afford it...
It's snowing and I can hardly wait to go snowmobiling and going up in the mountains. Maybe even this week...
KEEP BUSY DOING THE THINGS THAT INSPIRE YOU...!!!
Fun easy project and easy to accomplish in the grandkids will love it...
^^^the day I bought it.. not running bearings shot a virtual basket case...
Here it is just waiting for the new seat and still looking for a good gas tank but these late '60s early '70s bonanzas are hard to find parts for...
