[Ironbuilt]

62 is close enough!

LOL I wish. Unfortunately, 1963 Polara is a 1 year body style.

 

[moparedtn]

You're killing me Kid. Please tell me that you have a 63 manual for me to bid on.

Sorry Iron, wish I did

Paul, meet John.
John....Paul.

 

[Paul Wilson]

Sheesh, @Paul Wilson Paul. I just got notified of your PP gift and I'm sitting here blubbering again.
I mean, you've already given SO MUCH to this effort and now you went and did that, too?
God love ya man. You just floored me with that one....
THANK YOU!
Ed

Hope it helps. I still have high bid on the Phoenix Specialties gift certificate, but was gonna send it to you regardless. Getting started on my covers today.

 

[moparedtn]

Nothing past a thanks is needed I'm sure !
This is how people should act! Help one another when someone is in need ! It's a fantastic thing!!!! Gotta give cuda chick a hand for starting this and keeping up with everything (I know I'd be overwhelmed)
I've honestly done nothing but watch this to see what happens next ! I just now went and poked around on a few other posts .
But this is exciting I wanna see if someone else goes after that gold membership!!!!!!

Don't sell yourself short here...
You're doing more than just watching, sir - you're a donor and you're participating!

 

[pushrod]

I'm bidding $100 on my 64 horn button with the matching donation to Ed. Anyone else want to step up, I'll match your bid up to$200.

Oh thank you but dang Paul, make use of Leanna's services for yourself man!
Fred isn't exactly a show car, after all - something as nice as what Leanna does would stick out
like a sore thumb on him.
Heck, I'd have to clean something else up so it didn't look so bad next to her stuff on it.

 

[Ironbuilt]

Paul, meet John.
John....Paul.

Thanks Ed. I have actually spoken to John on the phone before. It amazes me how many friends I have made through this great forum.

I'll give y'all another quick story here...
(The story you're about to read is true. None of the names have been changed,
since there's no innocent parties to protect)

The wife looks at me a couple days ago and says out of the blue "you've been losing weight".
Uh nope, don't think so dear. Fat bellied as ever here....
"Have you been eating? You know you don't eat when you worry".
Uh nope dear, been eating as usual I reckon.
"Are you feeling ok? Anything bothering you?"
I'm fine, dear. Really. No COVID, no plague, nada. Fine.
"Go step on the scale then. I know I'm right about this!"
Oy. Fine....I never step on a scale these days, but to hush her, I'll do it.

I usually weigh about 255 or so, have since they took the cancerous thyroid a couple years back...

I step on the scale and it shows 10 pounds less. I do it again. Same result. Eh, so what?
Still lardass certified....
"I TOLD you so! Now, let's get you in to the doctor."
Nope, that's it. Stop right there. I'm fine, my pendulous belly is fine, everything is hunky dory....
but inside I'm thinking to myself "hey, lost some weight there stud. Good job!"
Yeah well, no good deed goes unpunished.
Yes, there's more....

Today, my sleeker, lighter arse goes springing out the door on the way to the garage, the way I have
for decades now. I hit the 3rd step down off the porch and....I go right through the board.
Snapped it in half like kindling, gouged my leg with shards of rotten pressure treat on the way down.
Yeah, so much for being lighter there, lard ***....
One of those real quick-like humblings one gets in this life when we get a little cocky, I reckon.
Lesson learned...

Get those girlie looking feet outside and do some work

With over 10 acres, lots of it open field, a quarter mile long road and several outbuildings, my spindly arse
is pretty much out there working on something every day.
