Thanks Mike and the wheelcaps are the set that C-9 sent me all those years ago, took me a while as things do, but they eventually made it onto the car and I like em better than the mags.

Hope all is as well as it can be with your tribe and it's great to see that little red Ford still doing snowman duty.

And on the score of catching up or staying in touch, i'm equally guilty, because I let stupid things get in the way of just getting on with life and being silly etc with my friends.

After the monumental change around this time in 2015, I make another big one that at least this time was my choice, december 17, 2017 will be the last time I wear formal atire or a watch on a week-day.

I started building my T Bucket in the late 70s as a 20 yr old so that makes it 39 years old.
Got it to 80% finished when wife,kids and mortgage came along and it went into storage for ten years or so.
After the divorce I had it finished in less than a year. Who says nothing good ever comes out of divorce.



I've driven the wheels of it over the years but as I'm getting older I'm driving it less as its too uncomfortable to drive.
But in saying that its more fun than any other rod with its open wheel wind in the face driving.
Lucky for me I have other more practical rods to drive so I don't miss it as much.
I'm hoping my grandson might be into it in a couple of years and is willing to take it out. That's his mum sitting in it in the pic above.

this is it now.

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.
