Is it wrong to have more bowties than shoes?
« on: November 18, 2013, 08:28:39 PM »
I have a good friend in the local area that I met while building my 27. He is definitely a doer, the type that just makes things happen.

I was out and about today getting templates for the glass for the 32. ( and some cool Guide bumper mount fog lights) at the Gentleman's place that I got the coupe from. And he had a muffler and tailpipe for my friend Eds 1954 Chevy wagon.

My son and I went to Ed's to deliver them and I got a few pics.

Nice place to hang your BowTies.

Lucky guy!  I don't have many shoes but they still outnumber my 1 bowtie.  Love the school bus and the pick up!
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

Well like I say he makes his own luck but has helped me more than I have helped him.

He wanted a 1959 something for years. a year ago or so he called and said he was looking at a 59 jaguar!  What are you going to do with that little thing?! Oh it's a 4 door? Well you'll have to put a Chevy in it so you can get home...... Oh it has one. I just can't picture what it looks like.

Here it is. And by the way a 57 Olds rear axle bolts right in!

The pickup is a project he had a apprentice at his shop make into a drive able  truck. Looks neat coming down the road at you.

Ed's 31 that he bought at a swap meet that was being marketed as a street rod candidate.

 Solid wood in this one.

The 58 is a 4 dr hardtop with a 348. It really rides smooth.

The interstate battery man stops by quite often.

Can anyone tell me how to rotate the pictures?

Thanks, Mike

Is it wrong to have more bowties than shoes?

My wife would say yes! But I don't think so....
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Thanks for sharing the pictures....

As far as flipping the photos, I do it with Microsoft Photo Editor, if you can't figure it out let me know I can do it on my end.

My buddy is building a 50's Chevy bus...guess he's having a heck of a time obtaining classis car insurance.

He said there are some unique regulations that apply to buses. Like it can't say "school bus" or be a certain yellow, and no stop sign allowed.

I can rotate pics on my pc but I have been using my iPad for every thing and haven't taken the time to figure it out.

Ed, I rotated the pic on my iPad and edited the post and it still looked upsidedown but when you enlarged it you can view it correctly.

I'll just have to put a arrow on my iPad as to which way is up when taking pics.

Just rotated one of your pictures...what puts a wrench in it is that all of the pictures have the same file name? I had to open the picture then rotate it.
