Well done, you. Who woulda thunk there would come a day when we wouldn't have print magazines to submit this stuff to.
For being the "consummate car guy" (by "birth, training, profession and preference" - I like to say) I missed out on a few of those.
No
#4 - I've always been pretty anal about how I take things apart. Even more so now that I don't know if it will be me putting it back together. I take lots of notes and photos in case that befalls to my youngest son.
#14 & 15 - nope.
#16 - no reckless, but I did go through a string of "16mph over" speeding tickets for a while there. I have the bad habit of accelerating briskly to over the speed limit and then coasting back down. (well - I used to).
Here now, the summary:
1 - yes (lost brakes - twice - same car, same driving season. I can explain...)
2 - Yes - except I restored it and drove DURING and once it was DONE.
3 - Milk Crate
5,6 (plus fuel fire; singed my engine builder's eyebrows off), 7,8 - yep
9 - I have friends that have been known to a acquire a part, like a steering wheel, and then build a complete vehicle to complement it.
10 & 11 - yep
12 - I did this:
Drove the cab and frame with no box on it for a week. It didn't stop too well, especially if the pavement was wet.
Bonus points - I just got the trailer back from the same paint shop (minus the lights, of course).
17 thru 20 - yep
21 - UGH! I hate that (two different collector cars had this happen)
23, 24 - yep.
Not a bad score, I guess
