A friend on this site sent me a sticker, Saff. Cochise wears it proudly. If I could get my hands on anther one I would, just in case the one I have needs replacing. But I do believe they are hard to come by.
Cochise is doing fine! We go to the local car show most every Saturday and he’s one of the “regulars”. I had to take a break after doing his bench seat due to finances. But the next project will be his coffin rails, which I’ve had for awhile now. We should have those on within the next few weeks. Thanks for asking!
Cool! I moved 2000 miles to Texas, to start a new chapter in my life, and Babe made the trip carrying 600 or so pounds of my junk with only a bad tire and bad alternator belt.
Haha, yeah. I've been immersing myself in the history (I love history), and Juan Seguin was an interesting and driven man. Interesting fact: during the sieges of Bexar and the Alamo, his volunteers were called the "Rancheros!"
Hey all. Just checking in. Me and Cochise are fine. Been showin him on Saturday mornings up here in Grass Valley. He’s sportin’ some new treads and feeling good. Been talking to Mitch’s sister Judy today. She wanted me to convey her message; thank you to everyone here for being such good friends to Mitch. She read what many of you said about him and was deeply touched. ....anywho, take care and I’ll pop in again soon.
Well it’s been awhile, but Cochise and I are still kickin. We both had a few bumps and bruises recently. I just had a total hip replacement, and I think my cars were having sympathy pains because Cochise was at the shop getting a leak repaired and somebody hit him!! Sigh, thank goodness they were responsible and have insurance. So he’s at the body shop now getting fixed up. I knew something was wrong when I got a phone call at 8:30pm from the shop owner. Oy vey. But yeah he’s gonna be ok. I’ve added a few things to him here and there. The coffin rails I used to talk about. A long-sought-after tonneau cover. Some pirated taillights off a 67 wagon. So we’ve been busy.
Great to hear from ya! Post up some pics when he's back from the shop. Oh, and how is Henry doing? He still in the family?
Hi! Henry is doing great. They got the interior all painted and stuff. Next I think is the headliner and weatherstripping. Hubby has some real nice pony skins for the seats, that he’s gonna put on. It’s been so long since I’ve been here, I don’t remember how to post pics. Been trying with no luck but I’ll keep at it.
Ok I think I got the hang of it. Yeah when he gets outta the shop I’ll post more. Here’s the ones I hate looking at……after he got hit…
Oh, that sucks. But at least you didn't do the damage, like I did to Babe's passenger door. I *still* don't have the replacement door installed, but here's to hoping! I made a friend who once worked in a body shop. He'll be helping me with it and the front clip soon.
