Finally after 40 years I've decided that pedal steel will no longer be my #1 hobby, it now takes a back seat to these two beauties below, so hop in Franklin, Emmons, Zum & EMCI take a real ride and I don't mean Remington!!!!!!!!!
1969 CHEVY CAMARO CONVERTIBLE RS 327 - FRAME OFF RESTORATION
1962 CHEVY IMPALA CONVERTIBLE 327 - GROUND UP RESTORATION
IT DOES'NT GET BETTER THAN THIS.
RETIREMENT, WHAT A LIFE IN SUNNY FLORIDA. |

| You had me right up until the living in Florida part. I'd sure love to leave New York, but it won't be for Florida. |

Pedals are still #1 but this baby is certainly #2.

This is one of my passions.
My steel and my steel playing is still number 1. |

Very nice cool classic cars. Any steel player interested in maybe trading in your steel for a classic car collectible go to;
streetsideclassic.com
I caution you, these classics will hook ya.
I got hooked 3 years ago at a classic car auction here in Ft. Lauderdale. Since then been to about 4 classic car auctions in my area. It's like waking up in car heaven. Only problem at these auctions is when you leave you'll have the auctioneer voice stuck inside your brain, theses guys never stop auctioning off classis cars, it's continuous from 10am to 7pm.
Barrett-Jackson is a real big auction so is Mecum and American Classic Car Auction.
Hey, when was the last time you & your Zum picked up a hot chick.
Try a 1967 GTO Tri-power convertible, or how about a 1957 Caddy, the chicks jump in from curbside, it's that easy. |

My 1963 survivor Canadian Pontiac Parisienne. Picture was taken at a charity car show event at Canadian Forces Base Trenton, Ontario in Oct./2015. For a $40.00 donation, Air Force photographers took 4 pictures of your car next to a C-17. A nice keepsake.

Marty,
That's so cool to have a car the same model year are you are. I've wanted to do that myself, and I might do it yet.

Rick, I drove by that truck everyday and decided that if it was still there in a month that it was meant to be........and here we are.

| Jim Cohen, my car is a '36 Ford sedan deluxe. It was purchased new by a lady on the east coast, later bought from her estate by a man in Houston, Tx, later bought by a man in Kerrville, Tx, and I bought it from him. It has been restored to virtually perfect condition and pretty much all original except for a few tweeks, such as changed to 12 volts, electric cooling fan, turn signals, seat belts, etc. Thanks for asking. |

Marty, what year is that, about a '62? I have a '66 which I bought for $50 in 1982, drove for 8 years, then parked in the garage. Within the last 2 years I have started restoration and it is bare frame from the firewall forward, with the cab almost ready to take off. Frame is solid but the body has seen too much Yankee road salt.
I just bought a MIG welder and am learning to use it - I figure if I can survive learning a pedal steel, a welder should be a piece of cake!
