Husband and I have begun a new project. We are now a part of the community of antique car owners.
For a long time I have thought it would be neat to have a car to fix up and drive around to the various cruise-ins, and husband has thought so as well, but we've just now gotten around to doing something about it. We recently acquired a 1949 Ford sedan and a 1949 Ford pickup truck. Alas, we won't be driving our antique automobiles to the cruise-ins for a while, as they require massive work to get them road-ready. My past few weeks have been spent perusing hot rod magazines, websites, and parts catalogs. Yesterday, we took a trip to the paint store and a couple of body shops. We have a vision for what our autos will look like, but it will take some time to get there. My future contains lots of sandpaper.

Congratulations on your new autos. Will pictures be posted?
They don't look like much now, but I'll update this post with some pix.
I think it's wonderful you found something you can both enjoy together!
Happy sand-papering!
Post of a picture of yourself in shop overalls, grease on your face, holding a wrench, standing next to the car.
Get your husband in the pic too, an American Hotrod Gothic!
OK Tony. And then when the car's done, I'll pose next to it in some Daisy Duke shorts.
But then everybody would stop reading this blog.
Never mind.
