That's why I'll never forget it. I didn't have one before I got that one, my brother and I shared one. I did something like that when I was young and later hated myself for it. I know one thing, neither one of us did that again, it's called growing up. We were kids.................... You just made a thousand memories fly through my head. You're a good man and that I can tell, if you remember that to this day!!
In 87, I shipped about a hundred complete doors, hoods, trunk lids and fenders to the NY Police department in one shipment order from our plant, dodge diplomats. The expectation of a police car in NY, on the average fleet wide, going without some kind damage was a day!! Fact! Doors left open and taken off by a passing car was a biggy. This obviously did not include what they bought or sourced locally. They beat them like a rented mule!! LOL.
I would have loved to see that! There’s nothing more satisfying than creating something from nothing. As I wrote earlier, the journey is the best part. Frustrating at times but, when it all comes together, the end result is worth every minute. I’m no cabinet maker, I have made numerous projects and enjoyed every one. Keep posting those projects and we’ll all keep enjoying your journey and the finished product.
To me, it's never the medium you use, wood, metal, plastic, I don't care, it's the work you put into it. It had a 15 degree point on each ends. It was for the plant manager and it was there till the day the walls came down. The plant manager asked me on my way out the door if I wanted it. I was used as a gift maker for many plant managers, including Iacocca. I can't tell you how many stereo cabinets I built for plant managers all over the country with their product car stereos in them, with invertor's. Each plant would send them in for me to make. I had a great working career and enough memories to last a lifetime. I was in the right place at the right time, I've been blessed in many ways.
Ohhh, I like that one. A lot
We closed the main entrance into the plant once because geese were nesting by the doors. They'll eat your face when they're nesting!! LOL
