O-Five funny you would say that, I have an ex-girlfriend named Leeanne, and her mom had like 23 cats at one time, untill Leeanne convinced her brothers and sisters that their inheritance would be cat s___ if they didn't intervene, they took all the cats to some no kill shelter in Georgia.

Default Elvis is leaving the trailer park !



Hay guys, its been a while and little progress on Dale, but I did finally buy the property I was looking at, and no more working on cars in the Grass for me, I got me an acre of property, a 3 car 2 bay garage, I can put a car lift in, and build upper floors for storage. I got a Dodge Ram 1500 4 door and a Ford Escort Gt ZX2 with the place as a bonus, not to mention the 3/1 house renovated for $125,000 appraised at $130 despite the flaws. So I'm feeling pretty good and will be ready to get back to fixing up Dale !

Congrats on your property, plenty of room to work on anything with that tall bay. A lift will make a lot of things easier. Looks like your Dale may need to wait while you do renovations first.

My Monte work will continue in my driveway only for years to come as my Chevelles are not giving up the garage anytime soon.

Good luck on your projects.

Default The Dale's new Home

Its been a while, but the renovations are done, and I'm moved in, $85,000 plus $40,000 in Renovations and me and my Monte have new Homes !

I painted the garage floor and the Yellow is Highway striping tape. I paint Highway stripes, and the boss was throwing out some rolls of yellow tape that DOT
doesn't allow any more, but he let me have a roll to tape parking in my shop and slab outside ! ( Tape is used on concrete and bridges for road striping )
I thought the tape would look really cool.

I also got a 02 Dodge Ram 1500 that the lady selling the place didn't want, had a hole in the plastic part of the radiator. Took some plumbing putty ( great stuff ) and plugged the hole
got a locksmith out and had a key made. Couldn't get it to start no how. So I paid the locksmith most of his money for the keys $170, and let him go about his day. The next weekend I took the battery back out of my jeep put it in the Ram again and it crunk right up, runs great, air blows cold, dirty and tires are bald but its cleaning up great. Its solid doors are solid, no rust, good glass, good interior. Just what everybody wants a "free" set of wheels and a truck at that.

Also discovered after mowing down some jungle that I have a Gopher Tortoise here. They are threatened species so I can't mess with him, I call him Roscoe.

Anyway, soon I get back to work on #1749

Hey Guys/Gals/Gender optional !

Been a while, but now getting back to work on the Monte ! I also found an 84 Pontiac Fiero sitting in the weeds, and decided I had to have it, so now I got 2 projects going. I have 4 days off this week. Going back to work on the Monte tomorrow, before I wind up having to do some of it over again. Send new pics too!
