Good pics everyone. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only old f@rt that refuses to grow up and still plays with toys. Here's a couple of old pics of me and some of my old projects.



I paid $35 for the 53 Plymouth coupe like it is in this pic. I told my wife that I had bought this car while we were on our honeymoon and had to go get it when we got home.

The 47 Ford truck is about ten years and two kids later. I paid $165 for it but it didn't look at all like the pic. Two bad patina wasn't cool then as it was covered with rust and dents.



The next one is about 1981. It's a frame from a 53 Ford F100 that I restored and sold almost immediately when I finished it. I had the entire body dipped to remove the paint and any filler that it had. I bought a new house and decided I wasn't going to have time for the truck for a while.



Last one is me when I bought my truck about four years and about $18K ago. I'm 73 now so this might be my last project. I don't plan on getting rid of it anytime soon but you never know. I told my wife this is my last old truck, and she said this is your third or forth "last" old truck.
