Back around 2000 I had a late 70s ford plow truck that the body was held together mostly with sheet metal screws and pop rivets. The bed was long gone, replaced with a rickety and rotten wood flatbed. There were holes in the roof, there were no floorboards, only a 2x12 board under the floor mat running from the frame to the transmission to put your feet on and every time you stepped on the clutch the cab twisted because it wasn't attached to the frame. My friends called it the horror movie truck because it looked so scary. As long as it didn't smoke and could stop it always got a sticker on it until the frame broke. I miss that truck.
. With my last car I had to argue with the guy that I had a full frame and that hole was in no way structural. Just another way to screw poor people.I got a cabin for you near mile marker 100 if you do. Best wishes for your lady.

Today a 2" hole in your rocker gets a reject as "structural damage" .
Somebody keeps passing this old guys 60 something ford. The frame is so bent it looks like he's sliding down the street at an angle. Some other dude has a late 90's chevy 1500 truck that looks like a wrecking ball landed in the middle of it and it somehow passed inspection. It looks like he couldn't drive over a speed bump without dragging the middle of his frame and he's allowed to drive around like that.
Around here that's a high end trade in!
Be ready soon ;D so many pups need us and the best cure for loss is adoption.
Amen!
The fall at the end was my favorite.
I rescued a mini staffordshire about a year and a half ago. Unfortunately I did it without thinking and soon realized I didn’t have the room for both. Thankfully my ladie’s family took the pup and I can still see him.
We had 3 dogs and cats at one time. We lost our last pup in Jan. and it had been 37 years since we were without an animal in the house. My wife finally realized she was ready for a new one when we went somewhere and when we came home no one was at the door to greet us.
always loved working with fiberweed, don't have to wear the respirator...
Hope to take you up on that one day.
