Mike65 475 Report post Posted November 7, 2016 I am really impressed with your motivation!!! I truly wish I could get inspired to work on my project as much as you work on yours!!! Next year, YOU will be my inspiration to get things done!!! Thanks, I enjoy working on it, I used to work as a line mechanic until I hurt my back, now it is my hobby. Some days I work on it for hours, & some days only an hour or two depending on how my back feels. I am trying to have it running & moving under its own power by its 50th birthday which is 11/28/18. 1 mwye0627 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
