Page 6 Tallahassee Chassee October 2016 Junkyard Dog and Fluffy are back and we missed a few deadlines but I should have researched a little more for getting input. But we have not sitting home. We have a back log of 1 some good rust and finds within a 50miles of home base. The 1929 Ford AA stake side, just happen a month ago and is a drivable truck and a proud owner is enjoying it just like it is. It has just returned from a movie rental and they removed the windshield top cover shade for better picture of driver for filing. Owner has NOT gotten it back as of this date. (Beware when letting someone else use you vehicle) Fluffy, and I had a Hot day looking at this truck and we both think we need to spend more time finding vehicle indoors or start doing old hardware store which I really enjoy. 2
