Law Abiding Patriot

One of my hot rods in high school:



Then at 30:



Now that is as conservative as you can get 
 

A young conservative makes sounds at 16 and then 30 years later:



$30 Silvertone then an expensive Gibson ES-335.
 
 

I learned to drive in a WWII Army Jeep and got my license at 15 years old.  My first hot rod was a 1934 Ford 3-window couple with a 1947 or 48 Cadillac flathead engine, 4 carbs.  I traded it for a 1940 Ford Standard Couple and installed a 1956 Chevy engine that was just right to run loads from west Tennessee to east Tennessee.  Then a 1934 Ford Custom 2-door with a 1957 Chevy engine. I loved dirt and grease, so I worked as a mechanic at a local dirt track.  At times I dove it around the track and asked the owner to teach me to race.  He laughed and told me he would not wish that on his worst enemy.  I took his advice and gave that up early.
