I'd sell him the TTs off my blue car ...thats what his car needs. Good thinking Matt

You're not done with them are you??

 

[polara71]

She needs road wheels unless I sell the whole car then it doesn't matter

How does dad feel about it?

How does dad feel about it?

He loves it, I just think he isn't as enthusiastic about cars as he gets older. Would rather spend time with the grand kids and my Mom. I understand.

Nice to see that the novelty hasn't worn off and it is still getting love .

Yeah, I don't.

 

[Fratzog]

Yeah, I don't.

...said the guy who contemplates selling off everything and moving west...

 

[polara71]

Yep ..... not to spend time with the wife and grandkids but rather cleanse the soul of Eastern disdain

 

[71Polara383]

Yeah, I don't.

One of the last big projects we did together was super bowl Sunday 2015. Changed my 78 Lebarons rear end in a blizzard. There was a homicide two driveways down while we were outside. That kinda turned him off on wrenching at our current residence. I don't blame him. The shooter could've easily gotten us too, we watched him run away right past us.

 

[polara71]

Nice neighborhood, not the cars fault though

 

[71Polara383]

Yes I know...I am glad the yard is only 3 miles away and I can wrench there locked behind the gate when I need to...

 

[71Polara383]

Okay okay. She's getting new shoes soon.

 

[Fratzog]

They look really nice.

 

[71Polara383]

The question is...body color or black? I am leaning towards body color with raised white letters...

 

[polara71]

Black young buck . I dont prefer the slots over standard steelies

 

[71Polara383]

I pulled the Polara out of storage today. Did a few minor things.
First thing was to finally put the windshield trim on the a pillars, then I went over to the New Yorker and got it's pedal dress up and put it on the Polara.
Lastly I went to my stash of dome lights and swapped my plain one out for the flicker style. Happy St Patrick's day!

 

[71Polara383]

Also coming soon. An upgrade for my dashboard in this car as well...

 

[Fratzog]

Looking good!
