Re: Pictures to fire up the Bash Thrash !!! it’s almost time to leave.

Damn all those cars are so much nicer than mine, maybe I should take out a bank loan for fuel and just drive the truck.  Wife likes the pic of the mustang girls.  And for the past week I have been worried waiting for my new main rear brake line to show up during my ft disc brake install. Funny thing though the suit cases are setting in the bedroom already to be filled.

My impression has been since I started going was not what the car looks like but that it got there. And if not that you got there.

Obviously he hasn’t seen my Coupe  lol 😂 mine may never get finished I keep wearing out parts driving all over the country. Some people can tell you they have a nice car I can tell you where ithe coupe has been the people I have met the places I seen through the windshield of a 65 Mustang: Some say FYI is dying I say for some people who use it for what it was designed for Its alive Building the cars to be safe and getting them out on the road once a year in the middle of nowhere. The cars we will leave here for somebody else to enjoy one day the people we meet and see on this path we call Life passes through in a blink of a eye. One day the world may be a place where we can’t drive them until then as long as God gives me strength it’s my sanctuary when life beats me I ride !!  pray all is well

Looks great Mike!😎

Well said brother Coupe!👍🏼

Pretty much the way I bought Chris...25+ years ago.
I miss having it as my daily driver year round.
Until we move...it will continue to be my winter therapy!😁

Here’s a “retro” picture.

That door is hurting me, too.  I have a perfect 1965 door, no rust, no dings, never even a mirror mounted or any paint work.  Also have a NOS Ford door skin for passenger side. I probably will never need both of them.
We should talk at the bash.

Coupedaddy, your car has the absolute perfect look.  I hope you never change the way it looks.

This car deserves to be horizontal, even if the pic was taken in the mountains.

Re: Pictures to fire up the Bash Thrash !!! it’s almost time to leave.

Montrose was our first Bash. Great memories and friendships built. Surfside or Bust; this will be our 5th Bash with the Bucket of Bolts. Well, actually 4th for the BoB since we drove the KIA-250 to Michigan.
BoB is still up on the jack stands as I type and there still be no instrument panel or Carolyn's seat installed. 

I just found out the drivers horn will not fit in the original position due to the A/C dryer location. I rotated it 45 degrees and now I wonder if the hood will close. Frigging after market junk.

Sounds like a good idea Steve. We’ll play it by ear.
Driveline is getting closer to the way I want it.
