What was I thinking?

Post by Jim Sims » Fri Apr 03, 2020 7:02 pm

Why would a 76 year old half crippled nut buy a 24 roadster in a hundred parts. I haven't even finished the 27 coupe I am working on. The sheet metal is in decent condition but the wood needs replaced. Only thing I see it needs is the lower windshield frame.

Why not? Gives you something to do when you get the other one done.

Wise men have pondered those questions sine the beginning of time. Some of the rest of us wonder too. :lol:
Many of us here are in the same boat. Misery loves company.
Best of luck and keep us posted.

Jim, you have just followed a primary rule In workshop theory. You had way too much space which needed filling!
