I built my '34 Plymouth in 1974.  Still have it and the wife (acquired in 1971).  Lots of things have come and gone over that time, but the '34 is still here (and the wife also).  For several years it was my only car and served daily driver duty, rain or shine.

I am currently putting together a '33 Ford roadster that I have had in boxes since 1999.  I figured I better get it together sometime soon before they make it illegal to drive on the public roads.

Wescotts has them.  This is the address to the latch index page.

I have a Canon A70, 3.2mp and absolutely love it.  I use it for my work and fun.  It takes pretty good pictures for the average person, is easy to operate and link to your computer and/or printer, but the clincher is that it also takes movies with sound.  The movies can be up to about 3 minutes each (which is a lot longer than it sounds) and you can take as many 3 minute clips as the memory card holds.  I use a 256Mb flash card and it will hold almost an hour of movies and pictures.  Even better, this is the easiest camera I have ever seen on batteries.  Four AA batteries seem to last forever in this camera.  Price a year ago was $299 with a 16Mb card, the PC to camera cable and a CD for setting up your computer.  I think they are cheaper now and the 256Mb cards are also down to around $35-$40.

I found these Bear Claws at a swap meet, the guy only had 2 brand new ones and forgot were he got them. Have you ever seen them before? Do you know who sells them? I need 1 more.
They are real neat, an original handle works perfect with them.

I'm a senior manager at an engineering design and manufacturing firm that designs and builds automated assembly systems (robotics, fixtures and jigs) for the automotive and other manufacturers with process control requirements.  I used to own a hot rod parts shop called Hill Country Performance (9 years) but sold it in 1999 (2 full time jobs were taking all of the fun out of life and only one of them was putting money on the table).  Been into cars since I was old enough to fart.  Still have my first street rod (34 Plymouth acquired in 1974) and have more projects sitting around the house than I can hope to complete.  At 55, retirement is still a few years away, but I can still have fun today.
