    Jeff, is a pretty cool guy, we spent a few days hanging around at the Round Up last year, and were trying to get together while I was in Florida, hopefully this year, I'll have an extra week to do whatever I want..:thumbs2:

    ... Thanks guys ..... making me blush here.

    One of my main things in life is to try to have some fun in everything I do. I probably get bored with routines too easily, and it leads me into pushing my limits at times. In the past, I've chased acting work (15 years), drove limos (went well with the acting work), and currently am playing in a band ... and this is along with other work that I do too, mind you ... this other stuff is fun, but you can't live off it. Very entertaining, lots of work, and keeps you sharp ... puts you into some unique situations too.:thumbs2:

    Jeff your a inspiration, and thank you for sharing your life philosophy. Routines boring, push outside of them to grow and have fun.
    No wonder your such a great guy you never settle for the mundane :thumbs2::tiphat:

    I think that the same kind of thinking draws most of folks here and to these cars, too. Not your "in the box" thinking with regard to classic cars.... it is easier to build something that they make a ton of repopped parts for ... these can be a challenge. :thumbs2:

    I think it is the core of why this board is the cool place it is to hang out, and why we all tend to get along so well here.

    I didn't even look into repop parts...saw the car fell in love... then found out how hard it was going to be, and laughed. :rolleyes:
    I like the idea of a non cookie cutter car, that since its going to be so hard to find original parts ..make it whatever mind can dream up.
    Got lucky, found some great guys with lots of experience and know how. What more could you ask for. :tiphat:
