Seen here is the rusty body subframe, tipping control knob and broken chassis repair plate.

Dropped the front subframe, engine, and tranny as one piece onto yet another dolly.

Removing the front sub-frame for detailing.... I thought. The project started snowballing after this.

Effed my subframe up today. Do I regret being low? No. Not at all. Especially after all the looks and comments on the car while it was sitting there.

My husband, Sid, and I went driving through the countryside looking for autumn colors to photograph. After being thrown off the grounds of a mental institution (long story!), we ended up just off the court square of a nearby town. Sid waited patiently while I shot so many photos of some beautiful trees.
