My "first", a '54 Ford wagon, had a wooden orange crate behind the drivers seat to hold the back of the seat vertical. Otherwise it layed on the back seat. I paid $75.00 for that creature.

My computer crashed last week and I finally got it back together. Great body work don't you think?

My Dad used to just turn off the power when he had enough of whatever we were listening to. This bloke might be working on a lap top and is of the unstoppable kind.
