Thanks Cal. I was just telling Paul H that I want her to look like the back of an old pocket watch. Lou

I think you have achieved the pocket watch/ industrial/futuristic look in one build Lou. Very impressive. Boucher.

Hey Mike! The only thing getting beaten is me! My Job has been absorbing a lot of my time so my projects are suffering. Luckily I don't need to travel as much so I will try and post some this weekend. I am glad the Forum is back! Lou

Hi Graeme, Tell more about your trade! I work for a specialty car builder. Royale LimousineMfg/CabotCoachbuilders/Cabot Specialty Vehicles. I'm their National Service Rep. Which basically means when someone has a problem with a vehicle, it becomes my problem and I have to fix it, get it fixed, or explain to someone who has no idea, how to fix it. We build stretched Lincolns, Cadillacs, and modify Mercedes Sprinters and Ford Transits. We are also building, (for Lincoln), the new suicide (coach) door Continental. We also build TV transmission trucks. Unfortunately, a lot of what we do is becoming obsolete, so we are in a transitional time. Which means I have to do many more things, like working at the factory. Located in Massachuesettes as a manager/laborer/ as well as help with R&D. Whatever is necessary. Stressful, but I have to pay the bills! You'd be surprised how poorly compensated a guy is that does so much! Sorry to go on. It's just a strange job to explain briefly. It's kind of a jack of all trades, master of none thing. Doing it 40 years! Lou

Hi Lou, Hi Graeme, broadly speaking, I understand that my friend Lou is explaining the type of his work, with all the problems he needs. I was a construction mason for 25 years, then I decided to start my business, with much courage, given that what little I can do mechanically speaking, I learned it myself.I am already 40 years of contributions paid to the state and I am 55 years old, I start to be tired, since I started working at 15 years old Many people tell me that if I were in the United States, I could earn more, as in Australia, in Italy it is very difficult, and you can never stop working, but above all you have to remove and eliminate the superfluous, things like our passions, which are only a cost, and bring only expenses, but they are the ones that make you live well, like running on a motorbike and going for a run on the track, or coming to America to see Passionist friends. In Italy you have to work to pay taxes, now almost 65% of the income, however I don't want to talk about this, but refer to my friend Lou, to consider taking the step, and writing about the entrance of a garage .. ..

I think you would have a lot of work because you are very very very good. This is my opinion. I love you Lou.
