Subject: Re: Finaly Friday chat 24 Jan 2014 by teebee on 2014/1/25 4:35:12 Worked on three of the projects since school's been out. Work on another in the morning. Supposed to be a little warmer tomorrow, hopefully warm enough to spray some finish. Did I tell you guys, our autoshop teacher has been dragging the old vehicles from his parents place? Three years ago he drug home the first car he remembers riding in, a 36 Ford coupe, they last registered it in 1957. It's been parked in a shed. Well more recently he's hauled home the '56 Ford 2 door sedan, 59 IH 1 ton truck, and two old tractors, one his grandfather bought new in "47 and the other his dad bought new in 51, I think. Anyway he wants to restore them, but he has very little money , so he nickles and dimes a little at a time. His main concern are the two tractors and the IH truck. He was saying the other day he wished he had enough money to buy some parts for one of the tractors....I told him he'd have some money if he'd sell me the 36. Thinking he would say no the vehicles aren't for sale, like he's told me in the past. He says "Well, what's it worth?" This caught me totally off guard, I said, "I"ll have to figure something out." So I've been researching what these old cars are worth so I can offer him something. I think he knows he's never going to get to restoring all the vehicles and he's more into the farm vehicles. He's says "I suppose you'd hot rod it, won't you?" I told him "You know me, I couldn't leave it stock."    I think that it would be a great project. I'll keep you posted. |
