There's a big plus in this-I got a fair enough price to take care of the pressing financial issues I have, and she's gone to a really good home-a fellow gearhead that has a bunch of classic cars and hotrods, a large modern storage garage and a fully equipped shop where he can give her the attention she needs. I'm pretty sure she's going to see street duty as soon as weather permits. I'll sleep easy tonite. 7994911-DSC05733pac.jpg (292 downloads) Last edited by mark_gates; 01/12/14 03:39 PM. 1.41/6.46/10.15/135.60 3650# http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=938869

The important thing is that you find something that will fill the void that this change will leave. A friend of mine made the transition to remote control airplanes flying/building. Must have been a good fit for him as he has been doing it 10 plus years. Please don't be a stranger here as you have something money can't buy, experience. Good luck in what ever you do. Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.

You've hit the nail on the head-and I have other pursuits that are filling the hole. I'm also a guitarist-having played professionally in the 70' s and 80's, so I've picked that up again, and have been building and hotrodding custom guitars It's something I can afford, and my disability doesn't get in the way of it. I'll never loose my passion for speed and engine building tho, and I'll always look in here from time to time. Thanx for the kind words, everyone! 7995072-DSC002553.jpg (128 downloads) 1.41/6.46/10.15/135.60 3650# http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=938869

The 12 string especially , though the blonde with humbuckers looks to be the nicest Fender in the bunch. It does hurt to see a car go. If I was a betting man ( and I am ) , I'd say there is another car in your future. It is impossible to stay away from them just as much as with guitars. 7995308-Ebay002.jpg (116 downloads)
