I Was 14 the old fellas son next door had a 1952 Willys automobile he wanted to sell 6 cyl. 3 speed on column with overdrive.the shifter was broke off at the column but was in fairly good condition.
someone painted a murial of Dennis the menace on the trunk lid. it was cute and being red and looked like a Cadillac in the back and a Ford in front I had to have it.
He wanted 35.00 for it so I made a deal to work for a month to pay for it,incidentally turned into my first paying job for a dollar a day.
It wouldn't stay in second gear and Dad didn't want me to have a car on the road till I got my real job at $.75 an hr to pay for my own insurance and he helped me buy my road car 1952 chevy for $75.00 and ended up junking the Willys
I failed on that one and never forgot it because I hadn't the knowledge or the mechanical ability to make that Willys road worthy.
If I had that same car today and the ambition that Lance has I'd have a car that would be comparable in price to a 2 or 3 year old car,today's prices.
I have to wait till all goes to bed to watch his videos.
Trying to clean up his language.
I only Have a 9th grade education but in those 9 years I learned enough English I don't need all those four letter words ,because it never made me a bigger man and only made people think I was something I wasn't.
Other than that I respect Lance and I'm proud that he don't give up although he threatens to, we're all like that at times.
I never had the opportunity of someone going out of their way to help with anything, or a "parts fairy".
