happy sad day. going on the last family run in the 55 wagon on her own chassis. Time to take her out to graze on a 73 frame. maybe even do a restore on the body. Who knows. maybe someday she'll meet up w/ her old flame/er um, frame.

took the fam to the lake and got home just before the eclipse. Shut her down and started undressing her.

got stuck here(#1) when I decided it more better to wait and borrow my friend swa horses, harbor lift jack, and back rather than spin rubber to make one offs. after a few hours, the gang showed up and we got to work.

Still amazed by what us billies can come up with. I know it's transcendent to most cruisers, but it's especially akin to the pig sty. not always with grace but thru sheer determination.

and then, after the realization that, no, pigs do not indeed fly, she decided it best to slowly drift back down to earth and soberly accept the reality of the here and now, and that now, it was time to rest and get well again. It was not lost on her that this is not a thread about an end, but the prehistory of a future to come.

This is where my 2 projects collide...but only briefly, and like the moon passing over the sun, they too will once again be on their own respective orbit.
 
good question...it may still be there. Don't have the resources to rescue. happy to point you to it. shoot me pm if you are serious. If only I had 600 bux that wasn't already earmarked for a thousand other things. we pick our battles. flame on....
 
I got some of the important things...haven't given up hope of retrieval yet, but I'm still not all the way up after my fall, so I can't sweat stuff like this. good memories or bad, I'm glad to have them, and be reminded of them;). I should prolly put an ad out for it and pass the torch, but as I said, I haven't completely given up hope...
