awesome shane...!

2012-02-02T18:23:00.000-08:00

great shane, now if you could only get paid ..... then you would have fame and fortune. as for me, been working serious overtime on the galaxie. new frame, new floors.... all of em! oh ya, not new new, new used.. pulled from another 2cars i parted out. now the floors are near done and the frame is just about ready to go...... 9 days of actual work, shit i'm tired. but this is better than new. quality control in 1968 was total crap. don't ever believe the old- "they don't make'em like they used to"..... as far as fitment, seam seal, panel align, and pinch welding is concerend.... thank god for that! there is so many places for water to get in this car the should've called it the strainer! it lets water pass right through it!..lol.. later!

Props

2012-02-02T15:42:00.000-08:00

2012-01-15T06:23:00.000-08:00

Going up north to get a little speed fix.
Seriously been " jonesing " this week . Some reason I been sitting at stop lights feeling my car leave on the brake. Maybe my short / shitty season last year left more emotional scarring than I realized.
May the force be with you. Will post pix when I return.

Hey McLovin /
How about the Brody's ?

Sorry

2011-12-22T07:34:00.000-08:00

Shane you was listed as a blogger !!!!!!!!!
Yep between World series and NMRA I will hit as many as I can.

And I really have to say that I am getting the itch like never before for some Big Buck races. Even if it means a little traveling. Felt it last season when I knew I could not hit the full season. And the urge is getting worse. See how it plays out. I guess the plan is to have NO plan.

And Shane the jacket is GREAT !!!!!

How much it cost ???????

Peace Out
