Beside being busy this month and the phase winding down this coming Tuesday, I have been talking with my fellow car club members and they been encouraging me and are really looking forward to seeing my classics back on the road. I too, am looking forward to get them all restored but I the only that is going to slow me down from getting them complete is sourcing missing parts. I can do all the work myself. As for Upholstery, I found a text book on the topic so I am going to teach myself in the meantime and then maybe sometime next year go to Wyotech again (different Campus) and learn it to get the certification behind me.
Other than that I have been looking and finding more classic cars here and there. Some for sale, others that have sold already. The hunt for them is for me quite easy, I do not know how to describe it but I can find pretty well any car I wanted in under twenty minutes. Just if they are for sale/sold, or in the condition I want them is a complete different story.
Lately I was talking to another club member and we had discussed cars for sale around North America. We found many listing ranging in years from mid 30's to mid 50's but most of them Orphan Marques. For me to say the least, if it isn't 'rare' I do really want to own it. So all those classics made by the Big Three (Ford, Chrysler and GM) do not really interest me as much - however I am going to still save them from getting crushed since another enthusiast who loves them would buy it from me.
I am interested in learning more about Nash and Packard; Maybe something on Studebaker and Kasier Fraser too.
