I hear that. Still have all, the wife, 2 Harley Davidson's the old boat and my Gran Torino. She accepted this because I included her in all of it. We have a great marriage and are enjoying our lives. Hope this helps you.

I tried that - bought an HD Dyna Low Rider but when a damn deer jumped in front of me (yes, I hit him) she really ramped up the heat (because she cares) so I sold it. Sigh, I still miss the bike but, frankly, I'm too old at this juncture.

That's a thought but I'll have to pass on that option - she's armed

As it is I have to travel across town to get to where I keep my car. I wish I had room for more but am glad I don't at the moment. Lol
Vise Grip Garage show just drove a similar car 600 miles after freeing up an engine that was sitting for 29 years. The engine was locked up solid.. Pretty good show on YouTube. I could have a few beers with that guy.

OK John, I get it. She saw what I posted and told me I should check the board for any updates. She was/is hoping somebody would ask that and thereby get me thinking about selling it. Good grief, between you and her..... Edit: For the record, I have no "solid" idea what it's worth so I hide behind that when she brings it up. I think she just wants to free up garage space - it's a three-car space so taking one of the three cars out leaves more room for "something."

Many thanks. I bought it 44 years ago TODAY....why do I keep fooling around with this?
I think my wife would be happy if I sold it.  |

I'm getting there slowly.
I HAD to change the wheels - the chrome looks SO much better than those stupid wire wheel hubcaps that came on the car and constantly "squeak" - drove me crazy. Of course I still have them stashed in the attic above my garage for some unknown reason.

The Elite looks great! I am glad you were able to get help to get the photo posted.
How large are the photos your phone takes? Our forum will allow a maximum of a 10 MB per photo upload. That is pretty huge for one photo. If they are bigger than that, you can resize and they will upload. Or I can see if I can alter the forum settings.

That is a sick ride. I too am struggling with photos. My phone uses high res and they won't download. As well, I will try other avenues.

Groan.....I told you I was old
 Anyway, try as I may I can't seem to upload any photo's. The closest I've come is getting a picture of an F-105 cockpit in "my pictures" but even that won't load. Likewise, I can't load a picture of the remains of an F-86 that crashed soon after takeoff, in Korea. (the pilot survived) Nor can I get the picture of him by his F-105 that subsequently got shot down over Nam - he survived that one as well. So, I'm switching to plan B - that will happen when my Tech Support person (13 year-old girl) comes home from her water skiing/camping trip. Be patient and thanks for your help so far.
