Thanks Mitch. Fun seeing the p*** from a different point of view. My shifts even sounded pretty good, I just need to get better at pedaling it off the line. Once it hooks up it's a real kick in the ****! BIG THANKS to Old6rodder for letting me get a couple of runs in the car! We need to get ours finished for next year so I can see what the Barn Job looks like from the back side.
He keeps giving me incentive to get ours done so we can race each other. Without his dumping ***orted parts on us we never would have got started on our car. Guess it all boils down to us having been banging on old cars and bikes together since '62. Back in the beginning he was a Chevy guy and I was Ford. Now we are both into Mopar. Half the fun is hanging out and swapping stories, the other 70% is just having fun building stuff. Then we get to go racing...It don't get much better than that.
Really cool, Mitch. I hadn't realized that the camera was looking back, I'd thought it was pointed forward. Next time we'll have to clean the hide off a bit better for it's "star turn". Not to mention having similar backgrounds, serving in the same war, tolerating each other in school & the same car club, outliving some of the same old buddies, ad nauseum. The usual olio of long standing friends. Now we're just another couple of crusty geezers to whom "**** talking" has devolved to discussions of our bowels, and who finally have all the answers to all the world's problems (if they'd just listen ).
"Crusty Geezers"? Damn right and proud of our "Curmudgeonness"! Maybe our bowels can solve the problems of the world. If not, at least we can make a deposit.
