Default Driving Like I Stole It...Per Your Advice

I joined here in Oct.2014 after getting a 1929 Model A that needed some help. You guys and the advanced search option have been great. I set out over the winter to get the brakes 100%, re-do the interior, paint the dash area, powder coat the wheels, and paint the undercarriage and then JUST ENJOY THE OLD CAR EXPERIENCE! I posted some pictures when I first got the car and was told to "drive it like I stole it". So finally I'm at the point the car is running great and I'm very comfortable leaving the paint alone for the next several years. This is a hoot. I can barely stop for coffee without adding 30 minutes for conversation. I made up the attached plaque that I display if the car is at a local show or something. Well this is just to say THANKS I've gotten a lot of help here and am really enjoying the Model A experience. I'll get pictures of the interior and wheels up here soon. Thanks again.

That is fantastic!

I'm glad you are having so much fun with the car. If Mrs. Morford is still alive, you should go visit her and give her a ride in the car. I'm sure she would appreciate that you have resurrected her dear friend.

BTW, what does MYRT stand for?

She named it Myrt like in, "but not, Myrtle." She told me that when I called it Myrtle after I heard her call it Myrt. I should change the way I typed that in the story because it looks like an acronym. Several people asked me the same thing.
