22. My brother got a great deal on a drivable, many years stored '57 Nomad a few years back.

He’s taken it right down to the nuts and bolts and washers. He’s doing the full resto mod.

He’s got friends with full garages and facilities who are in the business, so he’s got full access. Great deal on some outrageous crated motor.

Be aware of what you’re getting into. That’s all I’m gonna say.

Happy days to share your lives together, and may the sun be shining and the wind be always at your backs.
