well i have taken up some what of a new lifestyle this year, head of the household. so ive been alot busier than ever. my poor girl has been sitting all summer. i tried to start her a few times but she said no. stator is shot so wouldnt do much good anyway till i get a new one. but funds dont allow that for a good while. plus ive been working on other projects that will net some income. i could never sell the V so shes in the corner. here is a little of what ive been up to if anyone cares.

first up is the vision wall of parts. got all my spares out of boxes and hung in my trailer i built to haul the vision and tools around

next is a pic of the 350 i pulled out of my 63 chevy short bed.



the 454 that i pulled out of my scrapped out motorhome that will go into the 63





i still got a list of stuff to get done before it snows (wont be long) but im starting to adjust to the new life. this winter im planning on fixing the stator. once i get some free time. im using the cost of fuel as an excuse for spending the money to put the bike back on the road.

Sorry to here about the "head of household" stuff.  Looks like your keeping your mind active.
I like to fix "old stuff" too.    Keep your head up... everyday is a new opportunity.   Your turn will come.
When you see it... make a grab.

yea dave i tried to move to NC for a few months but plans changed. my dad died and i had to move back home to take care of my mom. the V is on the back burner for now, as other projects come in daily.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA lets go again baby !!!!!!
