Thread: Don's T back on the road

Don we noticed Don Jr. is getting a little thin on top!
You might have to loan him some of your sun block!
Have you or dan given any thoughts to paint on your projects? I know by now, Purple/ Pink is probably out of the question, but I'm curious what Dan will come up with? Are you guys considering flames. With all the flame threads going right now, I could just see Dan's rpu with black body and yellow flames licking back! I'm sure they'll look great whatever you come up with!

Some of the accidents were caused by the rod or the rodder driving it, and some were caused by normal passenger cars crashing into them. A few of these accidents have resulted in the driver dying. It makes you think.

I'v seen a couple around here too.. and some big oopsies of driver error.. in a local restorer's lot just outside his building, there is a big ditch near the road... evidently the person in whom he had JUST restored a '65 Mustang ragtop for.. backed it into the big ditch. when I passed, he had his wrecker, pulling it out with the winches.. and they were pushing on it I know he just restored the car, I saw him working on it in there from time to time. didn't look like it got hurt much, but I'm sure somthing happened

Tell you what Steve, post up a picture of yourself and we'll see what flaws we can find to remind you of.

Don

Sorry about that Don, I really didn't mean to offend you. My appologies, Steve.
And I have many flaws, including saying dumb comments that offend people, when that wasn't my intent. I appreciate all your helpfull advice.

No problem Steve, thanks for the apology. I knew it was simply one of the man-jabs we guys do to one another, and I take this sort of ribbing in the spirit it was intended usually, but as you can tell, I am pretty protective of my Kids.

I consider you one of my close friends on here, and appreciate your apology. It's forgotten.

Don

Stevie always was subtle, even as a kid..............

Don, I have always said you should be really proud of your relation that you have with your son’s. If I had a son, or two I would hope that they were clean cut like Don jr. and Dan. I have three grandson’s and my wife, and I want them to grow up to be clean cut young men, they get hair cuts suited for young boys when they visit us. I was living in the hippie era but it didn’t suit me, I think clean is the way to go. You get two thumbs up for the way your son’s turned out. I think more parents should get a pat on the back when they do a good job.

Don, when all is done, you, Dan and Don are going to have a stable of some really sweet looking rides. I know Dan's RPU will be everybit as nice as yours and Don's already are.

I can appreciate your apprehension about interstate driving with all of the big rigs. Everybody wants to go flat out and many can't really handled it, mentally or physically. I don't often look at other cars when I drive, but I do try to look at driver's faces. If I see something that bothers me, I try to move away from them. My luck one of those will be near me in an emergency, and the result won't be pretty. My cars have sufficient power and suspensions to run with all, but the really fast cars, but I prefer a more leisurely (amd cautious) approach. That's why I try to avoid the interstates when I travel.

When I travel in Florida, I try to avoid the likes of I 75, I 95, and I4 as if they were plagued. We like driving quick, but we also like to arrive alive. And using any of those roads, reduces your chances of that.

Bob, what can I say she was the best baby sitter a Mom could give a boy!

I also like to take "the road less traveled" whenever possible. In addition to feeling safer sometimes, the scenery is usually better.

I also ride a motorcycle... Believe me, that will make you wary of traffic!

This is a momentary highjack, but for Dan. I got a catalog from www.aplusrodandkustom.com yesterday, and on page 19, of their printed catalog, they sell sheet metal for shoebox fords, 1949-1951. Wasn't sure if you guys need anything, but it's the first time I ran across stuff for that make and model of cars. Just an FYI. Steve.

Thanks Steve. Looks like they have some pretty neat stuff. I'll make sure Dan gets it. This one page features sheet metal which he will be needing.

Thanks again.

Don
