I pointed to two old drunks sitting across the bar from us and told my friend
"That's us in 10 years".
He said "That's a mirror, dip-shit!

Our summer hasn't started yet but very much looking forward to something called "Chryslers on the Murray"  (Murray being the River that divides Victoria and NSW) which is our biggest Mopar car show here in Victoria. They come from all around the country for the weekend so there's plenty to see and do.
So many mopars in the country I'm surprised there are any left in the USA!   :drive: :drive: :drive: :drive:

I'll have to keep up on that.  I hope to visit Australia sometime in the next few years.  To be able to attend a Mopar show on top of it would be a treat!

Whoa! Crazy paint scheme... but I like it. I think. I wouldn't have done it but I'm glad someone did. ;)

As for me I'm happy to have accomplished the following (even though "summer" was only about 3 weeks long):

Hey Bull,

Your car is really coming along. The diff turned out nice and the front disc setup is my next distant project. Hahaha Do you plan on having it ready for spring? Anyway nice work.

I gave up on deadlines a few years ago. When it gets finished depends on some factors that haven't been decided on yet. I've been in contact with Smith Bros. Restoration about having them do some work for me, namely the steering column, interior and wiring. James Smith is down in LA right now doing stunt work on a Hollywood set (I didn't know he did that :o) so they haven't gotten back to me yet with a quote. I originally contacted them because around Memorial Day I herniated a disc in my lower back and was looking at farming some of the work out. My back feels good now but I'm still curious to find out what they would charge. It really helps my state of mind when I have some of the work farmed out on this project. Whenever I get discouraged and lose passion, having a pro do some of the work really gets me going again. Not sure why but I think it gets me past certain points I subconsciously view as insurmountable, from my limitations caused by either a lack of time or talent.

I'd believe TIME, but not talent.. If you pushed that one I'd say (judging by what you've already done) that you're not coming up short there.
