i envy you guys who are in your late 60`s and early 70`s .. you actually lived thru the best time to be a car guy that one could wish .. you were teens and early 20s` aged when factory hotrods could be had for what is considered pocket change today .i know hot rodders have been around since WW2 but not in the sense that they were in the 60`s and early 70`s .. and i had it good when i was 20 cause all the muscle cars you guys bought new i could buy for pennies in the late 70`s during the first gas crisis .. and even though i`m knocking on the door to 60 i still see guys who have the restored 64 fords and GTO`s they drove as youngsters as really old guys ..iv`e used up all my sick days at work .. can i call in dead ?

I recall once, I gave an answer similar to your desire to have been a hot rodder in the sixties, and I was asked why I would I want to be in Vietnam?
Prices WERE lower, and the Fed hadn't inflated our money away, but wages were a lot lower too..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Sorry I'm late with the cake............................Happy B'day!!!Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

I'm not in a position to kid you about gettin' old, Charlie. The way I figger it, when I got out of high school you were in ........ what, the third grade?
If somebody didn't treat you with great respect on your birthday let me know. I know some boys who will correct the situation.
