Making Life Great Again!
Justin - since you built the new home I’m just wondering how many bays you have for your new garage? I’m sure the X has its own special spot.

There is no X is the garage........The year is up in this upcoming November and they would like to keep it another year....I am just not sure about another year.....Its a tug and war battle for me....Part of me wants to have it there and part of me wants it home.....
One of my new neighbors I met has a restored 58 T bird and it is a beauty. Low and behold her father was a big time collector and it was the rare golden age cars...Cords, Austin healeys, etc...He built a museum of his own cars about 5 minutes from me. Soon I will get a personal tour of that museum. There are a couple of chevy guys here as well but newer stuff a vet and a Camaro.....The best one is a guy who has a newer plum challenger. He parks it outside and it is always immaculate. In the garage is a newer vette, with? We all have post lights out from and he has "blue" bulbs in them.....Just doesnt make sense to me......He is a torn soul, lol.....
As far as my new garage goes and the new home.....Currently, I am installing a butt load of ship lap inside.....I will say the first thing I got done was in the garage....I had a company do a "high lift" system with a side opener.....I have an 11' ceiling and a wide two car garage........all in preparation for a lift.......
We wanted to downsize from the big Texas home and rooms we never used nor even stepped in......So we went the Condo route....However, our plan is a little different than what one traditionally thinks of a condo.....These are labeled as SFH/condo....mainly it is a SFH with a condo like community, confused yet?......Eventually, I will finished the basement portion...When that gets done the only thing that downsized was the 3 car garage, WTH?......At least the 3rd bay is up north

Blue bulbs? Could be he worked tug boats as most are running blue lights around the cabin these days.

Thanks for the index Justin, now the entire process is more clear to me, you should write a book about your restoration, is an amazing process.

Thanks my friend!.......I think my book is all right here......I always enjoy my Latin friend posts and his positivity to the forum. You are a valued member here.....Thanks for the index Justin, now the entire process is more clear to me, you should write a book about your restoration, is an amazing process.
In recent days I have had an onslaught of forum trolls sign up as new members here. Their intentions were to simply post slanderous information about my knowledge, experience etc......These "losers" don't have the balls to expose who they really are so they use aliases. It is a member on this forum and from another forum....One alias was KarokeKing and another alias crazydago and they have been banned......I am sure they will utilize a different IP address and come back with a different name....They will just get banned again....

THANKS FOR YOUR KIND WORDS MY FRIEND, I always appreciate the gesture and the good intentions towards me, I came here with the bad intention of know more about my car, as you know am one of the few Mexicans that own a b body and even better one of the last remaining b body build outside the USA, i decide to stay here because i found some amazing guys here that regarding the fact of my nationality they ( and you ) made me feel welcome here, so far am the only Mexican guy with a b body that's speak English and knows about this site, another valuable members here some I can call friends ( you, Paul, Steve) have always a positive attitude and good vibe, regarding the trolls, you know the world is full of preaks so don't listen to them thank you and thanks for posting the entire process of restoration, in the end we all here for the cars, b body's rules.

That is one impressive museum is it not?.......I could spend hours there to be honest. Especially, in the auto library. Maybe you can make it to the Mopar show on July 27th. It has been awhile since I have seen Pop's car and thank you so much for taking the time to check it out and post some pics!....
Special thanks for the compliments.....I put everything I had into this restoration........
