Prison break! I freed my two cars from their unfortunate detention.

Today, I shored up, braced, and reinforced the garage door hinge.

 Maybe I'd like something along these lines?

A handsome Post War car, and best of all, it's a coupe.

This is a '48 Plymouth Deluxe coupe.

The seller said that he paid 9,000 dollars for it a year and a half ago. Now he is trying to sell it for 4,500.00

It ran then, now it needs a radiator and a few other parts.

 They were worth the trip!

These are some good looking OEM wheels.

I know, I once said that I wouldn't try to dress up my truck. That it was fine the way that it was. 

 As a "mature" car guy, what should I be driving, and why? 

Am I beating a dead horse with a long stick? 

(Revised 1/30/25. This post was found while I was recently scouring my archives. It was nearly complete, so I dusted it off, smoothed it out, and am presenting it now. I'm still wrestling with these same issues! This is interesting as it was written over five years ago. I did actually take some of those actions I was contemplating.)

I haven't posted in quite a while. 

I have been busy driving my Mustang since before Thanksgiving last year. (this unpublished post was found in the archive while updating the site, it was written over five years ago.)

Since my car was already primed it would seem that it was almost ready for the paint booth.

Not really. I could see that there were some dents and rough patches under the primer layer. (This unpublished post was found in the archives while I was updating the site. It was written over five years ago.)

I know that I had to sell my ‘70 Mustang  to free up some money to move the XJS  forward by fixing the transmission.

This is a well known and respected transmission model. It was used in GM’s big block motor combinations, Cadillac, Buick, Chevy trucks, even in the Rolls Royce. (This unpublished post was found in the archives while I was updating the site. It was written over five years ago.)
