Just means we have to make them pass a Safety Inspection. Not necessarily a bad thing.

That is a sweet truck, I am looking at a 53 Merc right now.  trying to work a deal with the guy on it.  this guy has quite a few old pickups in his field....finding the right one took some time, now getting him to give me a good price is another thing.

Never got the 53 but still hunting around for one.  The drivetrain is out and waiting on being transplanted.  05 F250 Diesel (6.0L) 4x4 drivetrain is what i am putting into it.  it will be boxliner coated underneath the truck and will be an all year around daily driver when finished.

well this project is gone.  sold of the drivetrain and all the parts.  Baby girl arrived in April and no time for anything right now.  Hurt my back bad again and well figured it was time for a new hobby.  The wife wanted a new deck and I said I wanted a hot tub, had to fund the new direction somehow.

Still have my mustang though and well, lets see how long it lasts before it too is up for sale.  Doug you interested?

I can relate to back injury. Suffered one in 73, had surgery. And having problems getting around after sitting or when I get up out of bed. And hot tub would be good.

Congrats on the baby girl brian and no man, keep your mustang. You have had that along time just like i've had mine, and i refuse to sell mine. Your baby will enjoy your stang as she gets older and you will regret selling the mustang.
