I used to be able to drive to LB & pickup what I ordered. Sad, but true. One the topic of restoring or building cars. When I got back into about 18 years ago, I joined the EV8 club in my area, then the AACA, I reconnected with old friends from high school who were cars guys then, and still are. I made a ton of new friends in the hobby, been to Bonneville, the Hot Rod Magazine reunion in Pomona, el Mirage, The Moonshine festival, resurrected a '31 Deluxe roadster that been in a barn since the 50'a, built a '29 roadster on a 32 frame, with '40 running gear with an old stock car flathead, building up a '40 coupe like the one I had in high school. Sure I spent a lot of time and money which you will never see again, but what I learned, the friends I made, and then fun I had was priceless.
