sad to say

but I have been abit teary  so to speak  when dropping off a few pins
i always remember one twilight we did ,  this guy came in as Greg and i was talking about his and the mods we wanted for ours , that we where building
we also had one out back that had been decaled and looked real nice .  so back to this guy .. he listened to what we saying and saw the one out back and said i want that .  i quoted him a price and was more than  he had been told from other and more than he ad told his wife he was spending , but he said yes and we made him a TZ  with over 50 hours of man time put in , new decals , re chromed ramps and so many mods ,  I did most of the decals and body work , so much time I pesonally spent on it ..  and the work Andrew did ,   plus the new parts we got in for it .  the guy came back 4 weeks later and was so happy he couldnt pay me quick enough . it played  so good ...  and i gave him all the pictures as we did the work , he could now see all the hours  we had done and even gave me a bottle of JW  .   I offered to drop it off to his house and  wheeled it to the back of his house down a hall way that was like 100 feet long and I had a inch either side ...
it looked so good in his games room , i didnt want to leave .  i did after a real coffee ....  sat down the road and thought about us doing more top end reco's like that and now we have 4 or 5 on the floor all the time . I still feel funny when i think of it ...  it was one pin i could say i did allot of work on and was very proud of it ..
so thats one of my many stories abouts pins  sorry to go on
