Keeping the car in the barn for the next two weeks [though would like to have gone out and seen Public Enemies down in Winterville down in Jefferson County but movies seem to be floating around until the next big wave of summer movie releases July 24th with Harry Potter Part 524 being released with another midnight drive-in special showing etc. but plan to go down to Amelia in Brown County in Southern Ohio to catch that movie later this month] and will be busy prepping the car for the FIRST ANNUAL FORDS AT THE SUMMIT at Summit Raceway Park in Norwalk, Ohio July 24-26, 2009 [the old Fun Ford Weekend]!
May sneak in a cruise or two in between now and then, but finishing up on some of the smaller details I let slide during the winter months [including some major rear fender design work that will be completed by tomorrow -- have to look close each time the car is around since I have changed and / or added at least one different item on the car each month, something that is nice about the vynil is that easily comes on and off like butter [especially in the hot summer sun that bakes it right on, and sometimes gets too hot to work with, so just put it in the garage to cool the surface off so it can contract and adhere better to the car's exterior metal] but won't be entering it in any of the competitions [I don't think that they have a junk category yet, and the way I trash it every time I'm out driving, it's a wonder it is still in one piece!] since I have always been of the belief that Fords were made to be driven hard and way into the ground and have never once washed it since getting it used 5 years ago [and the soap used in the commerical car washes would automatically fade all of the colors, as the sun has already done on some of the stickers!] so just get it washed as the Good Lord Doth Provides whenever it rains [which means I get to go out and even though it washes off all of my entomology (bug) collection that were so painstakingly placed on the windshield means not only a whole new collection awaits as I tear up the back country roads] but it also means MUD, GLORIOUS MUD! as there is an open field I can cut thru on my way over Medina ways [and down in Wooster they are tearing up the whole length of Beall Ave. to which I rolled my eyes towards Heaven and gave a great big Thank You!]
Some folks Got their Armor All, us hill folks [and as Neal McCoy sings it:] GOT MUD!
