    Nice color!

    Hey that's a beautiful car! And funnily enough, when I pulled the carpet out of Ethel a couple days ago, the floor underneath (where it's not rusty) is that color. Apparently Ethel was originally light blue, and was repainted the medium blue before I bought her. I liked the color so much when I saw it on the hump, I'm going to try to get her painted back that color. I never thought I'd like it, really, since I've seen it on a few old Torinos around here, but I think it will look great on my Mav. Seeing the photo you posted just makes me like it even more. That's a great car.

    Isn't working on them fun? Even when it's hot, dirty, nasty work. It's still fun.

    Nice ride. That is great to hear that you are going above the pain to enjoy your hobby. I am with you on this. I have a bone desease that gives me a hell of allot of pain. Before I had it. There use to be all kinds of things going on in my garage. That all stopped. Not to mention at the time of the oncoming of my illness. The home owners assosiation put an end to my cars. I was in the middle of a build of my 71 Camaro. This was in 97 when this all went down. That car is still all tore down an in storage I have to pay for. No hope in site for it to be coming home.

    I have had my 4 door 74 Comet for almost 2 years now. It was given to us by a moving neighbor. What a great thing. Then we lost our main car, and it became our main mode of transport. We just got a replacement for it, and now it has become my toy. Now I have to get in my garage and turn it back into what it use to be. A shop. (It is a mess and just a garage with tons of stored JUNK in it) i am hope that this will be the thing I need to help me out mentaly. Like you, It takes me allot longer now a days. But I know it will be just as fun.
    Matt
