Folks Of Interest My 10th Anniversary on here.

Good eye ! Never noticed that, I recently sold this one .

 

Thanks Marty for your post and hope for many more - Happy Anniversary !

 

How time flies … I am grateful to have met you.

 

Congratulations Marty! I joined officially in 2011 too after lurking for several years. Thanks for posting your builds, they are always interesting, informative and inspirational.

 

Well that's ten years of why this place is THE Place to be indeed...thanks for your sharing your Good Times, Good Friends, Mechanical Expertise and The Birds of course.........Congrats Marty...may there be many many more...

 

I took the new owner some more parts and checked on his progress, he is going to town !

 

Feelings likewise Bob !

 

Thanks Stogy, you make this place interesting !

 

The new owner is not a "Techie", but he is certainly getting the job done !

 

I think you mean this one. The cab got painted over the weekend, I couldn't be happier !

 

As always Marty, looking GOOD

 

Marty...TEN years??? Every post of yours is like I'm standing right there, always concise, and accurate.
Spalding roadster was just amazing, I never would have thought that so many ops were done on the original...but your build had to be done from scratch.
Your '40 pickup body is very 'Marty'!
Don't stop.

 

Sam, I am certainly excited about this one !

 

Thanks Mike, you and I grew up when most every gas station and garage had a shop truck with side boards, and a push board for duty at the races. I can't wait to show off my Mitch Kim lettered ones, next Spring !

 

Yessir, that’s it! It’s even more stunning with the color on it.
Keeps me inspired on mine!

 

Marty, could you elaborate on the paint on the pickup.
By the way, and I've said this many times "the world needs more sideboard and stake bed trucks".
The things that I like in my old age scare me.

 

Doug, when I bought the basis for the truck from a friend and fellow Hotrodder Dave Wilfert, he had the cab and doors pretty well finished. As for the rest, Brent McMullin did all of the rest, including setting all the gaps. Pat Ganahl looked at the truck and said, "you don't get gaps that good on a 40 Ford". I have tried to find the right painter for over a year now, and finally got set up with Duane Olofson. Duane is an energetic young guy that has painted several cars for Lonnie Gilbertson, including the Candy Pagan Gold 55 G***er. He is using Glasurit 22 line Washington Blue, in single stage. He is so good, it will not need any cutting and buffing. I am tickled !

 

Congratulations Marty! I've learned a lot from your threads, don't stop now.

 

hey Marty, I have always read your threads, I have learned alot,just watching you build thanks for the education and keep on BUILDING!! thanks Gary

 

Congrats Marty! Time flies when your enjoying yourself!

 

Thanks Gary, Gordon and others. Here we are going on 12 years on this sight, and still at it, albeit a slower pace. Somehow, I thought that when I had the shop for pretty much my stuff, I would get more accomplished than I have lately. Coming up on 60 years doing this stuff, and thankful for the family members and buddies I have had to build with, race, and learn from.

 

Thanks for the ride, it’s been fun to tag along.

 

Thank you for all that you contribute. I am constantly thinking: "What would Marty do?" You raise the bar.
