| last night in town, everyone did the social distance thing, and there were LOTs of sweet vehicles there. they cruised "main" and then all the way out to our round about and back (about 2 miles) each way. and a mile thru town. we sat in one of the local gas stations with picture windows, in air conditioning. Joe i saw lots of '55/'56/'57 Chevies, sorry...none of them would give up their rear bumpers. saw a rescue vehicle from i think Aussie land. some VW pickups, a tow truck hauling a Shriners car, lots of old vehicles, some new Vettes, lots of flags, but didn't see any confederate ones last night, i do see thyem thru the week. i spose there were about 300 different vehicles in the cruise, even some old tractors. saw a pickup that Ray would look good driving! |

Had one in Berryville AR Friday night. I rode the bike over to look around. I followed a beautiful 60’s studebaker station-wagon hotrod over there. My favorite was a 51 Chevy car with what looked close to PO1 paint. |

They did that here last year,  all the shameless 2 am coffee folks. All without the governor's permission.  Probably why he said we had to stay closed longer than LA. Been talk on the radio it is time they start doing it again. Dare I ask what, I would look good in. I see me driving a 72 Chevy , cause it is in the backyard where I parked it . Only needs new wires to the rear and a exhaust. I was a little short of cash for the exhaust, and was afraid of starting a fire with it. An a friend wanted a 82 Chevy 1 ton out of his yard. Just thinking if I was good for anything I need that 72 running, all it needs is rotted gas drained out and the carb cleaned. Just right for those that like noise. But knowing you and the Big Boy, you got me about 10 feet off the ground in a mostly dead Ford. Then if it ever moves
it tips over like like the grain truck. I never was into that high up stuff and with the stiffer and stiffer joints just ant going to happen. Last spring I guy had a new Ram 4x4 2500 and it took way to much work for me to crawl up into that thing. I don't thing it had anything that was not factory on it. |

Steve you may have stepped over the line. You put Shameless's moniker of Big Boy  ON A FORD. I drive any brand that I get cheap. So I would take this, if I did not have climb up that thing before I sell it. |

You could build a hydraulic lift arm to get you up to the door, maybe something off a combine? |
