Allright, know there are a bunch that think I have never even seen a car, much less turned a wrench.  So thought I'd try this posting picture thing with the new computer.
My main shop, couple old Fords, been doing the car show and cruzin withe the 33 on the right, just picked up the ugly yellow 34.  It's an old 1950's hot rod that I will be parting out, and preping for Bonneville 2014. Next photo is a 68 GTO, and behind that is a 27 Ford, that is supposed to have found a new home.

Haunted?
No don't think so, those are just sheets covering stuff.
2ND answer, could be the ghost of dates past (I've had the car awhile)

Real name Pete.
Nope, he's done some nice cars, and the 34 would make an easy "California Kid" but ain't going that direction.
Will go with a little heavier chop, and Bonneville style, don't expect I'll ever get another car show trophy with the 34,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but it might be a lot of fun, and done with less $ and only one manpower.  To be a driver.

Actually, I wasn't referring to the sheets but to the orbs or spheres most visible in the upper right corner of the pic; similar to these: http://www.paranormal-encyclopedia.com/o/orbs/ (http://www.paranormal-encyclopedia.com/o/orbs/)

Yup, I kinda remember the old Plymouth.
Just saw the "orbs" for the first time, I would guess it's a camera operator problem like a dirty lens or somthin,

 or It could be haunted. 
There have been some strange things that have happened in that shop,,,,,,,for example the 33 isn't a roadster it's a two door deluxe sedan thats had a haircut.
