Ah, The joy and optimism of youthful car ownership... Here I am just days after entering into the world of classic cars. Note the wide smile associated with being young, carefree... and totally oblivious to the amount of time, patience, and money required to maintain this love affair with Fins and Chrome. The '59 will someday cruise again. But for now, I must rely on the memory of days before the restoration began. Unfortunately, I made the common mistake of tearing the car completely down in pursuit of the mythical "Quick" resto. LESSON NUMBER ONE: Take time to ENJOY the car BEFORE you dive head-first into the restoration. If possible, fix a piece here and there... This will enable you to drive the car throughout the process. (Thanks to my brother, Taylor, for continued inspiration - and taking this picture... Not bad photography for such a young man.)
