This is my B pre-restoration. It's actually the picture sent to me by
the guy I bought it from.
This picture pretty much sums up my life
in general and how I feel when I'm working on my B in particular. I've noticed that sanity
is relative. You tend to be less sane around your relatives. That and if you hang around
insane people, sane people start to look weird. Okay, for the record. My B is with a
specialist garage in Swisher Iowa right now. I figured I'd rather pay someone to do the
body right the first time. The mechanical stuff I can screw up on my own as often as I
want. It's got something to do with welders and a headline reading "burned over 90%
of his body". Anyway, I got a new boot lid, bonnet, right hand door skin and floor
pans. Or at least that's what I bought before I moved over here. The plan is for the guys
in Iowa to strip it down to the metal remove all the rust, and repaint it BRG. Plus some
mechanical stuff to get it running (the head cracked right after I bought it). Everything
else I should be able to handle with my limited abilities and tool box.
