EVERYTHINg is runnin through my mind, and i just wanted to vent.. sorry

HOT RODaaaaaaaaaaHOT RODaaaaaaaaaaaaHOT RODaaaaaaaaa? What did you say honey? Oh yeah Oscar Meyer HOT RODS will be fine for dinner.
"yes dear, i think that carpet you picked out for the living room will look SWEET" . . .(in the 54. . .) you know you've got it real bad when you go shopping with the wife at the housewares store, and see fluted pie tins and think "i wonder how those'd look on a set of body colored steelies, and how can i get em mounted"
Welcome to my world... I'm haunted by visions of my blown Hemi project. I've even got the "hey, look at my car" video planned out already
even worse is having a Coupe all moked up waiting for Bleed Frame.. I sit in my garage and stair at my coupe every day for about an hour..when I should be editing MFS4 ...But hell it gives me ispiration...sota like doing yoga. I have not slept in months thinking about my coupe...
dawn dont even ask anymore. we were at Ruths Chris steakhouse for our aniversary last march. i stopped workin on the willys about a half hour before we left to go out to get showered and dressed... anyhow there we are in one of the most expensive restraunts in the twin cities, and we're holding hands before the meal got there and just saying nothing yaknow? Dawn looks at me and says "what are you thinking about baby?" . . . i must have blushed, cause she said almost imidiatly "dont answer that, cause i dont care how you are going to mount the rear axle"
" . . i must have blushed, cause she said almost imidiatly "dont answer that, cause i dont care how you are going to mount the rear axle"" yup, all my non car freinds haave definatly either turned into car freinds or vanished by this point in time. " at first it seemed like passion, but then it was obsession now its just addiction, and not even that funny joking kind but for real"
don't know about selling the triumph, i still love my limeys.as far as my hot rod goes when i was building her thats all i could think about,now that its done i feel kinda bored.been enjoying driving her and still break out my bikes for a ride,looking foward to thenext build got a 27 t to keep me busy this winter later rob SOUTH OMAHA TURDS
Years ago when I was building my roadster, which was also my first hotrod, I actually thought I had serious problems!! All I could think of was how I was gonna make this fit or what would be the best way to engineer that. And it was CONSTANT. No matter what I was doing, it would always be on my mind! I went so far as to ask my ol man (also a car guy, but a restorer, and a damn good one at that) if that was normal... he just laughed and "Yep, and it'll never stop". Now, I'm deep into my 55 Buick project and I've come to accept the fact that being on the HAMB or ebay or just looking for tech info on the internet til midnight is part of my life. I gotta admit I'm lucky as hell though cuz my girl is totally cool about it and even asks what I'm planning so she can help!!!
