toddbracik Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 Last night Bob Van Buskirk and I got the master cylinder installed and hooked up new lines to the back of the d24. I know now how Bob was able to restore 2 cars in the time I was not able to restore one. I will post pics soon. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 Good deal...looking forward to pics...Bob stuck me as one very serious guy with work ethics not commonly found in today's world. His cars are proof of that as is his handiwork in the home and collection of collectibles. Quote

Yes, I am learning from Bob how not to get hung up on the little things that are typically project burn outs for me. More specifically, if something is not moving along, then go to something else on the car and come back to the problem part later. Strangely, I now remember my painting instructor saying the same thing about working a painting as a whole when I was in art school. Maybe I will get it this time...hahaha. I'm glad you picked up that non suicide d24 Tim. I am looking forward to hearing how that goes after you retire. Any word on that old dodge truck that could be for sale? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 Inquired for sure after getting home form the Indy trip...owner is friend's neighbor, OTR trucker..no word on price and appointment to view...maybe soon...think he is still out on a run. I can tell you this..it is the little nit picking details that eat your brain for lunch and steals away your time on these old car projects..it is also the nit picking details that set some car off more than others. If customizing a car...these little details and "applied ideas" are the only things that prevent you from having a cookie-cutter car.. I also got the bug to get more done at home when I saw all the nice rides at the curise...gets you hyped for sure...I am in shop cleaning mode..I do this often after vaious home repairs and stages of car work gets completed. Organized chaos at best... Quote
