It's funny, because that picture has the windscreen, and I thought about laying it out in the pic, and I brought home a lot of glass, but didn't want to risk it for the shot....
So here's the glass-
That's three windscreens, one is cracked..
And here are some rear windows:
but what is so bittersweet about this process is that is has nothing to do about the car parts- (I've been drinking a bottle of cheap california red- so bear with me)- it's about the memories- for example- this paint gun- my dad painted more houses with it than I can remember:
and here's a car I restored for a patient of my dad's when I was 17 (not with his housepaint setup). It was a 66 912 that had been hit in the side. That's pretty damn good restoration for a 17 year old!
I can't begin to thank my dad enough for the skills he taught me. In other news- I'm noticing the missing cast iron weights on my dad's lgt garden tractor which have gone missing.
I really am in a precipitous situation (I could say precarious- but precipitous seems to fit better). I do not know if I will be even allowed back to the house at all, but I am grateful for the opportunity to potentially make something of some of these 'projects' for my dad's sake.
Enough sappy stuff- if I get to go back, I will make two rooms, one for a drivetrain layout, and one for an interior layout, and I will meld the two. I would need a chassis though- but that's another chapter.
EDIT- in the background is that GD basketball net. It was way over 12 feet high- way over regulation. Thanks to it- I dislike all basketball ball related activities!!!! I cut it with a chainsaw at about age 20. Never looked back.
