Great story...nice pics and looks like a really fun day!!!!! Raining here and cold...I'm jealous!

andrewt2 · 10-05-2008, 10:51 PM

Ill vouch for leon's charecter. he's a great guy and his wife is a lovely lady, really enjoyed meeting them at the Midwest members board meet in nebraska back in may. They drove the only big block truck at the meet all the way to nebraska! how's that for worrying about fuel enconomy! lol

Cyclone44 · 10-05-2008, 11:11 PM

Looks like a nice day with friends......I have talked to Leon on here and he is a nice guy.....

Bob 68327 · 10-05-2008, 11:12 PM

Wow - it looks like you have quite the project there. It should keep you busy during the cold months.

70rs/ss · 10-06-2008, 04:21 PM

I need a frame too, but Leon is too far away for me to trip it out there! He does have some sweet rides and that clip is super nice looking!

Me too!! Hope I don't have to grow up though

mkundo · 10-06-2008, 08:33 PM

Looks like you really enjoyed your time together. By the way. Is that '36 for sale?
thanks

Bob 68327 · 10-06-2008, 08:35 PM

Doubt it he's had it since 1960 !! He will sell the caddy though!!

**LockDoc** · 10-06-2008, 11:19 PM

Thanks guys. I hope I can live up to all of the compliments...

Sorry it took me so long to jump in here but have been working hot & heavy on getting the ceiling installed in the shop. That is why all of the stuff is out in the yard.... Finished it today!! (pic below) Pat even said I could buy a new furnace for it...

Really enjoyed having Bob & Shawn down. We had a good visit.

Hey Doug. You are welcome any time. The Iowa Oasis is always open. We have two guest bedrooms with two beds each so a place to sleep is no problem.

Levi: If you were like me you would always be in trouble with your wife for buying too many cars & trucks, so you might want to re-consider...

mkundo: My Father In Law gave me the '36 Ford in 1960 and my boy gets it when I'm too old to shift the 4 speed any more. He keeps asking if my knees are bothering me yet.

Anyone is welcome to come for a visit. We are close to I-80, easy to find, all paved roads, and easy in - easy out for the trailers or RV's.

Bob 68327 · 10-06-2008, 11:34 PM

Shop looks great !!! Looking foreward to a return visit !!! My daughter says THANKS for helping us out with the frame. Bob
