When Dave was a boy, you had to skid your logs home behind an ox team. They didn't even have wheels back then. And chainsaws are a luxury. Dave had to raise a pair of beaver kits and hand train 'em to cut logs for him. For the first two winters he burned nothing but chips. Support your local brewer.

Good eye,,, they are. Believe it or not, the backs are actually re-caps. Fortunatly,,,, she don't go fast enough to throw the caps. It's really closer to being farm equipment than transportation. LOL The engin's actually the original 223 six banger complete with one barrel holly. The guy I got it from thought it needed a "chrome" grill (dumb ass), so he replaced the original painted one, and as you probably know, those single head light grills are virtually impossible to find so unless my luck changes I'm stuck with the chrome V-8 grill. Here's what she looked like when I got it as well as a couple of pix of the journey. It's by no means a Barret Jackson quality restoration, but it's still fun to drive to town on the week ends. Specially during the Lumber Jack days in Orifino. Those crazy loggers love her.

I found a wizard and asked him if he can remove a curse I had been living with for the last 20 years. The Wizard says, "What were the exact words that were used to put the curse on you." I say without hesitation, "I now pronounce you man and wife."
