Sorry I'm late. My family has been a large part of my hobbies, and I sure seemed to have a lot of hobbies. It's been three months and I still know little about my new toy, 'MissDollie'. After living in Florida, I'm allergic to COLD. Still having our taco Tuesdays and pizza Fridays. The other kids stop by and call. Amazingly I'm surviving okay, with the help of 'Meals on Wheels' and that invention called Microwave. Now that I'm alone, I watch YouTube old car videos on the large Smart TV and enjoy the cruise-in's we used to attend. Barn Finds makes me smile. I never did get that 1940 Ford I used to fantasize about. But a '39 coupe and a '41 tudor have made us very happy for years. That little daughter is now over 50, which keeps me reminded I've had the Chevy powered '39 Ford for over 50 years with everything still the same. The brakes need work, it's covered with cobwebs, and needs a little lovin'. My 1948 Chevy panel truck never did get finished. Those are jobs I left to my oldest son and son-in-law to finish, now in their garages. Right now, we are all looking through my boxes of junk for the pair of restored 1931 Illinois license plates that I saved from the 60's. I put them away for safe keeping when we re-retired from Florida. In Illinois, I can put the shiny new tags in the car and display those ugly green '31 skinny plates. From what I've found out, the little red Model A is worth twice what I paid for it. Or whatever the next sucker is wiling to give! The cost of parts now amazes me! Of course, to me, 'MissDollie' is now priceless.
