It never fails

Post by Loner »

Im sure most of us have had this problem. Why is it every time im about to start working on my Comet along comes another project that someone needs done yesterday?
I was just about to move the Comet over to the shop when my buddy called to see if I would fix the mechanicals and body on his 67 chevy 4x4 truck. It is going to take a few months to get it done.
I really shouldn't complain the money is good.
I just want to work on my own stuff for once!

As of today I'm now the owner of the truck :shock:
The owner of the truck and I went to a swapmeet today and he found a car he wanted real bad. In need of a bit more cash...I ended up with the truck for a song.
I'll need to fix it and sell it now to make some Comet money.

Pops you sound like my gramps.
Him with Falcons and Comets for going to town with work clothes on and dogs, T-birds for clean clothes and no dogs, Ford flatbed trucks for working, Ford tractor, welder, battery charger, propane heater and I'm sure I'm missing something all painted blue with big white Ford letters.
Me with my GMC 302 powered 63 Nova. Him not wanting me to park it anywhere near anything Ford or where someone might see it from the road.

Fun times,Matt
