I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Re: 55 2nd series

Well my count down is on I'm hoping to be able to drive my truck to Back to the 50's here in St. Paul in 30 days. I know the truck will not be done but I'm hoping to have it painted and drive-able.

Re: 55 2nd series

The inner fender painted (the one that was not). Finished off the lizard skin. I'm glad it is a long weekend going to get a ton of work done.
