Geeze,

That was a long time ago, I really had to think.

In '70 i bought my 1st vehicle, a'68 or '69 triumph 650 motorcycle. I was 18.

'71 my first Sportster. back then in order to hot rod you had to build much of your own stuff --- not much off the self at least in the small town i grew up in.

'72 i bought my first Vett, a '67 for 1300 bucks. can you believe it, they were relatively inexpensive in those days ... wish i had held on to some of that stuff.

everything after that is kind of blur --- time sure goes by fast.

those were also the days when you could get 19 tickets and still hold on to a license by attending driving school.

these days not much time to hot rod. although, unfortunately i still mange to get my share of tickets, you can only have 5 in 4 years in the state of wa.

interesting ... couldn't afford the tooling back then, but always figured out a means of making something work. today i have all the tooling and equipment, way more knowledge with no time to use it. does make one go hmm ---
