All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.

A bear's natural habitat.
 
A Studebaker...... 53 to 55 or thereabouts.

Good looking example too. Some of those had Paxton or McCulloch superchargers fitted at the factory.

You should never walk out of the public toilets sniffing your fingers.

Go for it..... you're a long time dead.

When i'm on my deathbed, I wanna be able to say..... Fukk me, i can't believe we did that.
Much better then saying....... I really wish I'd done that.

With the aches and pains in my legs and back this morning, the ol deathbed might be closer than I want it to be too.

I’d assume he has that on his list as he lives 2km up a gravel road. I don’t think the rubber bands pictured would last too long in that environment.

I'd be finding a storage shed for it.... stuff 2 klm of dirt road, right where the feathers are the finest.

Just spoke to him, and can confirm that the wheels and tyres were the first thing he got sorted.

Jeepers, in his words, ‘I bought em to drive em. If they get dirty, won’t be the first time. Stone chips are easy to fix, so not to concerned about the road either.”

He also bought a fairmont with a 351 in it for his wife to play with.

Yeah, fair enough I guess.

When the Z car is all done, I was planning on throwing a handful of pea gravel at the front of it.
You know, get the first few stone chips out of the way early on.
