My Mistress. Look at what I drug home last week!

This has nothing to do with modeling. Title made you look huh.

Other than work trying to kill me with hours. Not complaining can aways use money if they are going to throw it at me. This girl has been my main project.

I finaly drug her home. I call her my mistress and what a dark beauty she is :) My first car. Pulled her out of the dirt when I was 14. Fixed her up and drove her for 3 years. I took the car apart because I wanted to go faster at the drags. (local law enforcement was relieved) Dad said I could use his old Roadster body (was his Hot Rod in the early 60's). That the time got caught up with everying thing else and the project was pushed back for a year then another year. So on and so on. I have been wanting to build a car with my step son for a while now and he had picked an old truck cab I had. Then three weeks ago he said he did not really want to build a car. So since the Hot Rod fire is burning, I said that's it. I am rebuilding my Sedan. Yeah it is proof I suffer from Dain Bramage. Now drug her home after sitting outside for 20+ years. Just had to share. I've been like a little kid waiting for Christmas. Enough talk PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First step was to bring home the chassis from my Grandparents place.
