Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Don,
Not only does your car make my heart race - you had to take a shot of the beaches of SW Florida. I grew in Sarasota and lived on Pine Island for about 10 months building the water plant there, and man it was a high of 64 today and the wind blowing.

I love the car and the picture must be Sanibel if I remember riight?

Yeah Dixiedog, it is Sanibel. One of my favorite places in SW Florida. Every Monday my ex-GF and I would take our bikes and ride the 20+ mile bike path, then eat at one of the nice restaurants out there. Place is like paradise.

St. Augustine where you are isn't too shabby either. We went there one time and it is like being back in the 16th Century in the old section. The fort is neat, as are the quaint old restaurants that haven't changed in centuries. BTW, welcome to the forum.

Steve, Dan is finishing up his rear spring mount today. I came home to grab a bite to eat because he is doing one man things right now. As soon as the springs are mounted we can put it back up and set the engine, tranny, body and bed back on to see how the stance is. I'm heading back there in an hour or so and will shoot some pictures today.

Don, I'm confused I don't know if I want the car still or just send the girls..........LOL. The car still looks great, even on the beach.

Don---"Hate" is a strong word----but---this is what it was like at my house today.

Nice pics! I love your T and these pics really show off its stance. Having seen it up close in person, I can tell everyone here that the car is just as gorgeous in real life as it is in the pics.

Thank you Jim. It was fun, but she tracked SAND into my car!!!! (I didn't say ONE word, even when she propped her foot up onto the painted dashboard )

Brian, come on, didn't that cheer you up a little? Summer is coming. I hear it is a Tuesday in July in Canada. But you guys do have good beer.

Don

Thats calender perfect don great pictures it snowed last night here must be nice have fun

Thanks. I certainly no photographer, but I took the tips Uncle Bob posted and they did help. I didn't get a chance to borrow a tripod from my Ex, so I took one from one of our worklights and laid the camera on it to steady myself.

I sent the pictures to a new hot rod magazine that is just starting up. He and I have traded emails before the car was done, and he told me to send some and some info when it was finished. He emailed me back yesterday and said I would be in issue number two. That's pretty cool. I think the green bikini helped.


Don

Man, I'm seeing quite a few red "X"s along with the photos. Looks like the smileys aren't working.

I have noticed that as well Jack. I think there are still ghosts in the machine!

Hmmm. For a change, my computer seems to be working ok. No red X's, but the site does go down from time to time.

I thought you guys might get a laugh out of this. I just sent my Son Don the following email and the pictures of the bikini chick:

Hi Don:

I thought I'd send you some pictures of my T. A girl I met and I went to the beach yesterday. She insisted on taking her girlfriend along, but that was ok.

Her name is Brigette, and shes the one in the green bikini. She is trying to move the relationship along too fast, talking about becoming your new Mom and stuff like that. But she is a nice kid, I think you would like her.

Dan met her, but he kept hitting on her, so he won't be seeing her much any more.

Whoops, shes knocking on the door right now, gotta go. She has already moved some of her stuff in, so do you think she is getting too serious?

Love, Dad


Dan put me up to it. Should be funny to see what he says.

I think I'll play this one out for a while and have some fun with him.

Don

Don that is great. Now we need Denny to morph her face on to a similar body in a different outfit with you somewhere other than the beach!

You mean like this?

Glad to see your having fun with the new T don, dont you just love living in florida? Where else can you just go out on a random day and get photo`s like that! Are you gonna bring her along for billetproof? Or are you gonna roll the dice and see if you can find a new one on the way?

Only in my dreams, only in my dreams.

It's kinda like the time I told my Girlfriend that when she turned 40 I was going to trade her in for two 20 year olds. Her reply was " don't worry Honey, you aren't wired for 220." Guess she told me.
