Jen-Car looks nice in those pics. Also, you mentioned getting snake food, won't the hampster suffice? JK
Taking it easy for a while. Been busy today. Went to Bfast with my Mother and then came home and removed all my cabinet facings. Theya re original to my 1942 house. So much paint on them. My brother in law just bought a complete wood shop from someone and they are routing them off and refinishing them for me. He did one set of doors and I wasnt really happy with the light color after clearing. SO he is going to do them all and go darker like Mahogany. Luckily he just did one set of doors first. The light oak made for too many colors of stain in my kitchen. Ceiling is real dark along with door. Floor is lighter and the new cabinet was even lighter. SO I decided to go dark and paint the frames back white after sanding. I can't strip them or else I would. Just too much on them. Will look nice and much cheaper than new cabinets. Have a great day. As you can tell I must be feeling good or I wouldn't be getting around this good. Took the bandaging off last night, just have the sterile strips and skin glue now. I tried a smokeless cig but they are really expensive. In the long run cheaper than smoking.

Hi `Jerry,
It's great to read that you are feeling lots better & able to do some remodeling. I sure hope your brother-by-law is faster then your friend(?) the Impala painter
You should take some b-4 & after pic's of your remodeled cabinets..
Any bites on your GTO ? Wish you good luck..

I think the below Classic is a Good Investment `if one has the $'s to invest...(Money Markets @ the Banks are only paying less then 1 % on a persons savings)...

What do you & member's think of it & the price..(Please post)
WoW, it has Wooden Wheels






BuzzKill `Ryan, this would be a great Buick 4 U 4-$ure*

OK, whose next to post & create some activity on our `Blog...
Look 4ward what anyone thinks of the above Buick & the price ?
You don't have to worry about a battery >, cause it has a crank to start it (just hope you have a good magneto for spark)
One of the old senior's had a old model Ford T that we would crank start it for him (It can kick U back 2 LOL)
I'm just happy that there are still old rides out there to buy (if U have the $'s to have fun & EnJoy)

you want me to skip bringing a case of pepsi to the next meet then? lol
You better keep me updated! wagons are my favorite! Mainly because they are easy hearse conversions.
One day I'll have one.......she will be named black nightmare
The wife had a crazy idea I might take..she wondered how awesome it would be to have a 4th gen monte carlo converted into a hearse. I told her I'm all for the project!

I actually had the strangest look when I was at petco too! Its not normal for snake owners to own a hamster.... Believe it or not, if I had the hamster in the snake tank I bet he wouldn't even go after it, more like he'd be terrified that it moves! My snake has never been fed live food, always frozen thanks about the pics too

lol i'll keep you in the loop jen!

part of me is interested in this caprice because i want to build it like how i had planned the '84 oldsmobile custom cruser wagon i had before the monte ( black paint, dark tint, ansen sprint wheels and an '84 442 front clip.)

the caprice if i get it i'd like to do the same with, only a 4th gen monte SS nose if i can swap it. plus the caprice has a dark red interior, which would be awsome with a black exterior!

of course, with the condition of the caprice i will most likely put the mag wheels on it (i've got two sets), mabe an exhaust system, cruse it a bit and try to re-sell it for a profit.

Well class was a bit annoying, got here on time, as did the professor. But he said he had something to take care of so we sat around for an hour while he did that. Then le lectured for about an hour and now won't let us leave because its too early What a waste of my time.

Evening all. Just watching some tv. From sound of it I will be off for the rest of the week at my day job so I might as well stay up for a bit.

Jerry I wish I had the time and a complete woodshop to strip and refinish my cabinets. Mine are original to the house also and were built in 1928. There are so many layers of paint on them

Justin I went the e cig route and have been smoke free for a year and a half or more. I just got bored of it one day so i just stopped using it. Keep up the good work.
