RE: ASW WEEKLY CONTEST #19 B&W - THE BEGINNING OF MY JOURNEY RESTORING A 1969 AMX ~ PLEASE READ THIS AND SHOW SOME LOVE!

in #photography6 years ago

This is one heck of a project, great call @terminallyill. Some family heirlooms are silly little trinkets, tintype photos, and the you have the lost toys like this. This takes some serious work but I think you right now be the guy this car has been waiting for over 40 years. Keep up the great work and paying great things like this forward!

Thank you @cryptkeeper17!

It is certainly going to be one heck of an overhaul, but will be worth every second spent doing it. I am thinking about finding little tasks my daughter can aid me with while doing it so she has her hands in on it's restoration as well. I should have gotten some pictures of this AMX's two sisters as well LOL. Truly a blessing to have these for sure and I am ready to start the restoration this Summer more than likely, posting every bit of it on here :)

How have you been doing my friend? It has been a little bit since we crossed paths. I hope all is well!!!

Yep everything is great, I get to participate in an estate auction for a family member really soon, that will be nice to put at least a little bit of closure on that. They had passed a few months before I started on steemit. Looking back at it now I was one lost individual then. A few months went on, I got on here, moved on like my grandmother would not want but demand (you might know how them sweet but tough as nails Depression Era babies can be). Now everything is great, getting better every day, which I am glad to see it appears to be the same with you!

Yea I know how there are, my grandmother on my mother's side was one of them. Pure Sicilian, 2nd generation, mean as a dog shitting thumb tacks if you pushed her, but was sweet as could be if you knew your boundaries. I am happy that you are getting that closure though, it is a big thing. I have found in personal experience that it's best to get what closure you can from situations, while you can, because you cannot predict the future.

I am sorry to hear about your loss my brother, but all in the same happy to know that Steemit helped you on your personal journey, dealing with such loss. It certainly is not easy, but time heals things.

So what projects are you wrapped into these days broski? LOL that @lovejuice is awesome man, funny ass intro on their page also!
