Hello, from West Michigan!
Hello CF!
I’m out in west Michigan, and will be moving north of KZoo by the end of the month.
I picked up a 77 project car for my wife over the weekend, and we will be doing a custom restoration over the next few years. It will be my first.
I promised her one by the time she was 40, so we got 8 years to finish this up.
outside of this car project I work tool and die repair, and play D&D in my free time.
I look forward to hanging out with you all!

Thank you! It will be a long process, but we intend to do it all correctly. As my wife’s dream car, it really means to bandaids and coverups lol. A forever car.

in my head, I can see it. The plan isn’t crazy; so it should go pretty well. Time and money. That’s all it is.
