Re: My 50 roadster pickup build

The main reason me and Dad use the hwy22 kits is they are single run wire kits. I.E you run only what you need or want.

The kits that come all in one bundle are all coiled up and if you dont use some of the wires they get coiled up and zip tied under your dash creating more mess.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build

Jim, I see that Yogi's sells a AAW 15 circuit kit that has the same features for us poor boys that don't have all the neat features in our rods. From what I can see they have a decent price on their AAW Kits. I have a Rebel 12 circuit kit in the 64 now because I needed something cheap and quick and it was both of those things. But plan on redoing a few things and will need a better set up. Thanks for advice

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build

Yes we are Jim, I wear my mask everywhere I go and try to stay healthy. How is Aggie getting along? Eve set up a computer in the lobby of the nursing home so the patrons could atleast Skype with their loved ones. So far they have kept the virus out of the Nursing Home an none of the workers have gotten it either. Would you tell your beautiful wife we miss her wonderful smile and wish we could just give her a big ol hug! You both are in my prayers.

Aggie is doing OK, but mentally this is hard on her. Only get to see her thru the window and we talk with our phones. Hope this changes soon...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build

To the followers on here I wanted to let you know that on Wednesday 6-17-2020 I lost the love of my life Aggie. Nursing homes still closed but I was allowed to be with her the last 6 days before she passed. I'm doing OK, she's in a better place, with no more pain...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build

Jim, I'm so sorry to read this! Eve and I want you to know just how much Aggie meant to us. WE could tell That the love both of you had for each other was something a lot of people wished they had. Meeting her and spending time with her on our visit helped make it great. As long as I live I'll never forget the twinkle in her eye when she talked about you and her family! Prayer's from our house to yours. Ray

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build

My sincere condolences Jim.
I have no words....
From what I have read and seen in pictures you were a great couple, you have shared a lot about you two.
I’m glad you could spend the last days with Aggie in this strange world.

Thinking about you,
Kees
