George,

I manage about 4,000 pc's, servers, etc in 10 states. I'm on mine every evening it isn't too wet and all weekend. The wife thinks it is better than spending every weekday eve at the VFW.


I should add, not drinking, I'm a shuffle board bowling addict. Everyone has a vice I rekon.

George, those new tools are looking great.

BTW, I spied that beauty of a 1956 Chevy in the background.

What model is it? Belair, 210, ????

Actually its a 4 door 150. It belongs to my boss. He's has a building maintenance background but knows very little about automotive. I have helped him remove the stock 6 and 3 spd stick and installed a rebuilt small block 307 and turbo 400 auto. Have to put in the new radiator, belts, hoses, trans lines etc. then send him down the road. I show him, he learns. He can finish the rest. I guess you missed seeing the Vette in the back of the garage behind the box blade. I have a 72 Chevelle convertible w/ 402 big block and auto, a 79 matching numbers Corvette I'm working on, 2012 Camaro, 2013 Silverado. Not big dollar show cars, just drivers for car cruises. As you can tell, I'm a Chevy guy.

I didn't even think of the 150 model. I knew I was missing something, but as you get older, the cobwebs take over.

I did see the Corvette, but I was more interested in the older Chevy. On offense, but my family had a 1956 Chevy Nomad back in the 1960's. As a child, I loved that car!

I have a Chevy myself. A 1977 Chevy Nova with just under 48K actual miles. Looks very nice for a four door. Has the rally wheels on it too.

I previously had a 55 Olds Super 88 and a 29 Durant street rod. Sold them and got the Chevelle and Vette to work on. I just missed out on buying a 55 Nomad after selling my Olds by 3 days. Wish I'd have called the guy the day I sold the Olds. I'll probably put a sign on my Chevelle next month at the Syracuse Nationals. If I could sell them both I'd look for a Nomad. Always liked the look of them.

Nice George! Here's something I missed out on. I found this car unrestored in a barn not far from where I lived.

1936 REO Flying Cloud. At that time, it was original Canary yellow with camel hair seats. Flat head six banger, and a little over 36,000 original miles. Guy had a bunch of cars in that barn alone, and had many other barns full of old cars. He wanted $7995.00 for it back in 1997. I didn't have a good paying job, so had to pass it up.

Years later as I was driving home, I spotted that car again in these photos. It had been stripped down to the frame, blasted, etc. 350 V8 with a turbo hydromatic 400 transmission installed. Disc brakes, air conditioning, cruise, electric windows, tilt steering wheel, the works.

He later took the car I think to Carlisle, Pa to a car show, and sold it for $62,000! I've wanted to beat myself over the head countless times for missing out on that one.

Oh well. You win some and you lose some.
