Going WAY BACK to the opening post, i got to thinking about my '89 RCSB and why. I dreamed of my own hot rod back in the 60's, before Uncle Ho Chi invited me to his party. Then life happened. Had a few close calls with some street rods ('48 Willys, '54 Ford, '68 Chevelle SS, '80 Squarebody), but my truck is sorta like the fat-fender 2 seater that was... I don't like the wannabe Monster truck look, nor the belly scraping look. Just simple and plain. It's lowered a little (2/4) just to give it some attitude, but most won't notice that. I've repowered it with LS (just a little 4.8L), not quick but fast enough for me. I can still spin a wrench, but that's slowly winding down (77 yrs this year). Wheels and tires are becoming a struggle, and laying under the truck takes a little bit more effort. But, the truck is still my ideas and likes put into my reality. It's dependable, and fun to drive. Maybe it's a Walter Mitty thing, I don't know. Or care! The next holder of the keys will undoubtedly do their thing with it, but for now, I'm enjoying it, doing what I can with it. So, see ya down the road, and keep the shiney side up.
Oh, btw, I also have a bike. Triumph Bonneville. My oldest son and I usually will take a week, every year, touring upper New England. Lotsa fun for this geezer
My rides. Sorry for no Chevelle pic, it was stolen
