    As a was reading todays Jalopy Journal post it reminded me that I did find my old chevy in a recent pic posted here on the HAMB. A gentleman from Japan posted some pics awhile back for an event over there. As I was going thru his pics I came across the parking lot pic and my old 53 chevy 210 4-door was right there just as it was when it left me that day 3 years ago. Last time I seen it she was loaded on a transport unit with a Range Rover, 2 BMW's and a Mercedes heading out to California then to a cargo hold for a delivery to Japan. I had so much fun with that car. it was cheap, it was paid for. I did little things to it like slamming it to the weeds, frenched taillamps single row louvered hood, split manifold and an Edmunds 2 pot intake. To my son and daughter it was there 1st hotrod and they still talk about the times we had in it. Thought I would share...
