Charlie Olson Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 I learned how to unhook a girl's bra with one hand, in Yucaipa, 1959. Ahhhh, those were the days. Oh, I also got my first car in Yucaipa, 1935 Ford 3 window coupe, Ahhhhh, those were the days.......... BTW, those two incidents were related, if you get my drift......... Quote
Martin53Cranbrook Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Posted May 13, 2011 Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! a little back story on this car: I purchased this car from a friend and local car collector about 3 years ago, this poor car just sat and rotted in a field for i am assuming 10+ years, she was in pretty poor shape and still needs work but when i got her the guy i bought it from didn't even know if it would run, well after about a month of cleaning her up and cleaning her out and tinkering with her i found out she will run and her maiden voyage was to a local car show. after a while of hiding it in alleys and behind buildings (i was living in an apartment at the time and it had no room to park her and my landlord was seaverley against working on cars) finally moved into a house with friends 2 years ago cause my friend agreed that the garage would be mine to use along with a spot in the driveway to work on her and get her running. She ran for a little bit and was my daily driver until new years day last year she crapped out on me and i limped her home and she sat in my driveway and didn't run till about a week ago and after going through the ignition trying to fix anything that could have been the problem i finally got her starting and idleing well but i wont know how she drives until i get some tires and take her for a spin. sorry for the novel and i will try to get some pictures up soon Quote
Martin53Cranbrook Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Posted May 13, 2011 Here's a picture of her Quote
