We’re at Downtown Beirut near martyr’s square by the architectural icon: “The Egg”. We see Mr. Lonely standing in front of the building carrying a sign that reads: “Save our shared culture”. A row of buses park around the square to release a herd of protestors grunting, yelling, and chanting cacophonously as they protest their own political causes, paying no attention to Mr. Lonely’s cause. The protesters are carrying signs that reference political parties. The crowds chant about. While Mr. Lonely continues to take a stand for heritage, we see the very building he is hoping to save being demolished by a bulldozer! He continues to protest, and so does the raging crowd in front of him.Rain has been a welcome occurrence in dry Southern California but it makes working in the garage a little cool this time of year. Driving the roadster is prohibitive due to dangerous mud slides and pot holes. It has been a long time since we have had this much rain in our town.
During the storms I spent my time gathering all of my parts to list on the HAMB. I have made the decision I will not attempt to build any more cars from the ground up and therefore, have no need for the parts in storage. The years of collecting parts for future projects are over. Working on the ground is difficult for me and I just don’t do it any more. Donnie helps me when I need something major done and it works out for both of us.
I found the market for my old Ford parts is on the HAMB or Ford Barn. Selling seems to be easy on these wonderful sites. Shipping is the tough part as shipping rates seem to be sky high for odd shaped parts. I have a local UPS Store who provides me with some estimates so I can quote the customer. Sometimes shipping is more than the part cost. Foreign shipments are the most expensive but buyers seem to pay the tariff as they can’t find the part in their country.
I love the selling game and provide honest descriptions and reasonable prices. I also provide photos for inspection and guaranteed satisfaction or money back policy. The For Sale section will now include parts as well as cars. Please note the new rules for listing a car.
See you next week at the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona!
My first 40 convertible was a running and driving Hot Rod with a little engine work. My friend Geoff did the body work at Dan Finks.
Original 40-41 rear tail light brackets are rare although Wescott makes them. These are the driver’s side which were required by law. Six states required a passenger side which is hard to locate. I have cut and flipped driver sides and made them passenger sides.
Building a tub doesn’t have to break the bank. Keep it traditional and simple.
Chevrolets also make nice tubs from 4-doors.
Boyd built Tony this beauty using his smooth style.
Jane was loving Bob’s 3W done is the 80’s style.
Traditional coupes come from SO-CAL in a true early look with excellent curb appeal.
The late eighties I hooked up with Boyd for my Tri-Five era.
Sandy and Girlie won lots of prizes with her Monnich built 40 coupe.
Tom needed some more leg room so he added 5″ behind the cab.
I like hiboys and this FG coupe looks great to me. Right Steve!!
Probably one of the best shots of a flamed 40 coupe I’ve seen.
Again, don’t break the bank. Use a Wescott body and primer the body and chassis.
Forty sedans make great drivers.
My first 48 Ford convertible was a big hit with me and my wife. Great rode cars.
If I could only have on roadster this would be the one. A 1933 is tops in my book.
Gary built this Wescott beauty in the 80’s and it’s still like new.
I am beginning to love these 36 tubs.
My dream woodie would look like this.THREE RIVERS (NEWS 3) – A 17-year-old girl from three Rivers is accused of shooting an 11-year-old boy with a BB gun. The boy told police that he was riding his bicycle when a female passenger in a passing vehicle fired the BBs at him. Police found the vehicle at Scidmore Park. Police say the teen was in possession of an "Airsoft" BB gun, which are replicas of actual firearms and shoot 6 mm plastic BBs that can cause serious injury. Under state and federal law, the use of an Airsoft gun in a crime is equivalent to using a firearm. The girl was charged with felonious assault. She is being held at the St. Joseph County Jail.
You see, it's people like this who give airsoft a bad reputation.
I totally agree. It's unfortunate, but it's just a reality. Every sport and every group of people usually contain lower end material.
Energizing blog. It blew me away and I loved your
site. when I have the time to surf the net, i try
finding blogs as good as your site.
Click on my awful plastic surgery blog before its to late.Vanity. So if every dark cloud has a silver lining...
What is the silver lining of this one that's hanging over us?
Discovering Kleenex works just as well as toilet paper - who knew?
My husband finally agrees to leave his shoes at the back door!!!
The inevitable collapse of the EU.
The resurgence of populism, sovereignty, and nationalism in Europe.
Loving the refi...going to close on the 20th.
Or it could fall into anarchy.
Looks as if that is where it could go.
Colleges switching to online teaching during the pandemic will make it clear that you don’t need the local buildings and teachers to get an education, thus shattering the current university system. Pick the best teachers in the world for your subject instead of just the ones at your college.
You mentioned the decline of globalism. In that category, less outsourcing of things vital to our national security like pharmaceuticals and machine parts.

College students will reflect on whether or not what they are studying and where they are studying it is worth it.
Yes, and hopefully lower the tuition a bundle.
In a similar vein, since a lot of companies are switching to working at home and telecommuting, hopefully that trend will continue after this storm passes. That would sure do a lot to relieve road congestion.
I think people will finally wake up to the fact that the “homeless” are not people down on their luck financially but are overwhelmingly drug addicts or have brain damage from drugs, and are a hazard to society and a dangerous source of disease. They will disappear, one way or another.
A bump in the birth rate 9-10 months from know.
We may have less deaths from the flu because coryvirus caution.
I was also wondering whether nine months to a year from now there will be a mini baby boom or a baby drought.
Given that most external entertainment is kaput, will couples resort to more home “entertain”, or has this viral atmosphere dampened the romantic mood?
People, ya gotta live. Diseases we thought vanquished in the US have reappeared thanks to our open borders. No one listened then and now the damage is done, so why the panic now? IMHO, take the same precautions that you would for the flu that goes around every year (which kills tens of thousands yearly) and, if you think you should, get tested for it.
I expect to be told tomorrow to work from home for the next three weeks. I’ll get an extra 8 hours a week for myself due to the commute I won’t have to make.
That’s 8 hours to read, get back to my crafts, exercise more, clean my closet, cook an actual meal, etc.
Many people in my same position might develop better habits, learn various new things, discover some activities that reinvigorate them, etc.
All those things becoming cheaper is because we are in the beginning of a depression. If it lasts two months, there will be very large layoffs.  Many of the smaller business’ will not make it back. So watch out. The longer this thing lasts the more permanent the economic damage.
We’ll know better what’s useful and useless in our lives.
BUSINESS owners in Derry have been speaking about their frustrations at what happens next for them with a lack of agreement among parties in the Executive over whether to lift or not to lift the current lockdown restrictions.
The four week circuit breaker ends at midnight tonight, Thursday, November 12.
But businesses are still in the dark as to whether they can pull up the shutters on their premises on Friday.
And with fresh stock to order and staff to be called in, some hospitality traders say it’s far too late for them to bother reopening this weekend.
They want the Executive to make a decision either way.
The Executive has rejected attempts to extend the lockdown for either one work or two weeks.
They will this afternoon consider a compromise paper put forward by Justice Minister Naomi Long.
Many business people say they will respect whatever answer they get, but are not happy the “constant uncertainty” is making a difficult time worse.
Paddy Burns, a barber from Derry, says he had clients ringing to book
