Over the last 5 years I have been building a FULL custom 1949 Cadillac Sedanette for a friend, Last year he divorced and I bought the vehicle from him thinking I would finish it for myself. Life can throw you some really wicked curve balls... My heart is giving me some pretty serious problems so I have to stop doing what I love the most in Life and just vegitate or die.
