[TheForge] Woody

[Bob Ehrenberger]

The closest I came was a '32 Chevy pick-up. It had a wooden cab frame under 
the sheetmetal. My dad wouldn't let me put it in the garage to restore, 
after my brother had taken 3 years to restore a 34 ford coupe.  Frustration 
soon set in as I discovered that it was going to be a lot of detailed wood 
work and not so much mechanical work.  It sat in our back yard with my parts 
'55 Chevy for about 10 years before my dad found a buyer for them both, I 
had sold my driving '55 chevy by then.
