Sweet ride!
I say life is measured in smiles per mile and happiness is not always measured by $.
Make it as nice as you want and can afford or feel compelled to spend. Just don't tell the wife like in your moto cycles!!
I learned along time ago, IF I could not be the work (like for anything whatever it might be) I was pretty much screwed!!!!! Even more so today!
Like the friend and neighbor down the road that was going to come over and get that 4 log log tall pine off my friggin truck where it landed in the...
I agree, the car cover in that bldg. in winter held moisture. If he had a concrete floor, maybe some ventilation, it would have been OK. I never seen such a nice car just go to Hell that quick. Mice pee is caustic! I lived on Mo. 37 years.
Doc. you have a really nice place and an excellent plan.
I still work off a dirt floor! :BangHead: :BangHead:
I had a good Mopar friend that died at an extremely young age about 1998. Had that blood bleeding disease. We lived in NW Mo at that time and he had a boneyard and some personal...
Down here around Houston and such, ALL auto upholstry shops are Hispanic and charge like brain surgeons. I had my 62 Lancer's oem rad recored about 10 years ago when I bought it. Never used.
Yes!!!!! Small world!!! Here's my story on that car......It was mid to later 90's I lived in Mo. and I wanted a 383 Cuda. I had already grown tired of building E bodies, and went to 68-70 B bodies, but then I got the hots for the 6-9 BB A body. I searched MCG and each one listed had sold...
I have to admit to having owned many Mopars over all these decades but on one 62 Lancer. I got it maybe 10 years ago and yes the tank was history maybe? or maybe I found a repop NEW tank that fit! Don't remember! Yes I do, I found a new one!!! Was it for a 62 Lancer? I doubt it! NOS? I...
If you buy this model, remember if you buy it, you and two other guys in this world will be its fan club. Lots of people will say cool, unique, different....but,,,,,, :poke:
In other words, buy it because YOU love it!!
I say keep it and love it ,,,,,,,or sell it.
If you actually think selling off some parts you bought and can make a $ on is smart, do that and have a car to sell missing all those parts!! IMHO
...So I could have seen the wreck!!!!
There's a reason when I have to make an all day drip and prey I get back before DARK!!! Because I am old and those modern damned lights blind the living c*** out of me!!!! Two lane blacktop, narrow road, pulling a trailer and those LIGHTS!!!! :thumbsup:
AS they say in Springfield, it is a fairly large country small town. As you have learned, very conservative in nature. The American War Between the States ended about 180 yeas ago, but not really there. Takes time to prove to the locals you are a good guy and not a spy from the North!!
Go FB and look up Bert Nipper, he is just N of Buffalo. Unless he movd. A grass fire burned up lots of his bone cars 10years ago. Lifelong Mopar guy. He knows everyone worth knowing. His name is Brent but he is NOT a computer guy and has lost his original webpage and thus Bert!. :thumbsup...
Gold fever....mopar fever.... just bad fever???? Find a local Mo. native tightass Mopar guy for an advisor!!!!
Have a couple of "keepers" that YOU KEEP an the have some cheap
trading" cars for your fever!!! Cheaper than trading in wives every 5-10 years!!!
Like I told ya Doc, there are some of the best people in the country in Mo. and not ever one ( most are far from wealthy) is wealthy in terms of $.
There is a shortage of good dentists (and large animal vets) here in S E Tx too!
I lived in Mo.37years and have built and/or had built probably at least a dozen pole barns and 2 indoor arenas one was 50 x 100 and other was 60 x 90. Pole builders like to out down a sheet of whats it called ? as a moisture barrier under the roof tin. Real thin like maybe 1/8 in. thick...
Remember with any crack "or larger" that lets in cold air, you are fighting a losing battle up there where it gets cold...
I had a shop in North Mo before I went to SW Mo that was about 30 x 60, insulated with bats and sheetrcock walls and ceiling. A small $200 wood stove would run you out...
