Default Hi folks.... Some background info on myself

I am a 68 year old retired man. I live in South Carolina. I retired from the state of SC as a surveyor. My dad was one of the BEST bodymen who ever lived. An absolute PERFECTIONIST. It rubbed off on me. Pics of the 65 2+2 I restored are enclosed. My car is a 2006 XK8. The speedometor is not working. The DSC & ASC lights are on as well as the brake light staying on. Coolent light is on. This one i understand. I fixed a leaking hose many years ago, unfortunatly light stays on . Car is always full of coolent. Any help appreciated Thanks BTW . My other hobby has always been woodworking.

Worked on this from 07 to 09. Sweet ride.


Jag,GMC truck & an unrestored 61 Pontiac Bonneville Bubbletop


Hawian Koa. Without question one on the planets most beautiful woods


Zebrawood aquarium stand


Aquarium stand. Rosewood with Fiddleback Ash doors.


The Rt. side of my reverse wired vintage stereo set.It is Eastern Red Cedar. Lt side is similar but made of Black Walnut. Yes it ALL works & yes Anolog does sound BETTER by far than Digital.

Beeautiful wood work! Absolutely Stunning! I used to keep tropical fish when I was a kid.
And, I haven't seen a Lava Lamp since my gramdmother's when I was just a wee lass!
I perceive you like Olde but very cool stuff!
Nice Jaguar too. Congratulations on that acquisition.
