Hobbies

Hobbies are important to us all.
Helps to keep the body and soul strong and to enjoy life a little better. Here's some of
my hobbies ~ hope you enjoy as much as I do.


Picture of my
daughter Amy and Mom in 1988 . I started below project with FEV1's at 27% total lung
capacity. I went through some "dust masks".
First get a
good bed, start sanding, priming, etc. Then get a good red color the Police like to see
from far off.
Hmmmm, 2
barrel orig or the 4 barrel Rochester?
But honey, it
followed me home! er.. well would you believe...? Window regulators, new glass, gas tanks,
parts, parts, parts..... Betty and neighbors were happy to see this go away and the
finished project.
66 Chevy pick
up original 283, 3 speed on tree, 6 lugs and short bed. Very good runner but as you can
see I did some changes from Fleetside to Stepside bed, replaced the bed with new stained
Honey Oak with chrome bed rails and chrome bolts as well as the exterior to a Metal Flake
Charcoal Gray with interior shot Gun Metal Gray with seats tuck and rolled Charcoal Gray
mohair fabric. Plus the mechanical end, brakes, rear end, etc. Took too much energy and
air to drive so sold to another good home. But not to be without a classic....I bought. TA
DA!!!
The 63 is all original. After driving for past
5 years I just turned over 39,000 actual miles. After transplant, plan to get a street rod
or truck to tool around with my family and enjoy life some more with new vigor!
