I WISH!!! No, I'm making a small pan of (ground beef) meat loaf with some Lipton soup mix, a little ketchup and a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. (I know you're supposed to add an egg, but they're too expensive, so the heck with it.)

A friend of mine is going to a meatloaf party tonight. Everyone brings a different flavor loaf. She didn’t know what to do so I said she should make a Cajun flavored one with cheese. She is going to report back. I wished I lived closer to her to attend the meatloaf party too.

So, the grocery shopping got a little out of hand…
Carolyn and Sarah went to get their hair cut yesterday afternoon, and, by chance :facepalm:;), there was a Trader Joe’s in the same center…so, you can imagine how that went…!!!!! :hilarious:
Later, she wanted me to go with her to H-E-B, as we still needed things like dog food, some bottled water that we keep on hand in the garage fridge, etc.
I’m pretty much a “Sure, hon…!”, “Sounds good, hon…!” kinda’ guy, so, as a result, we came home with A LOT more than I expected…good news is, if a blizzard was headed our way, we’d be set…!!!!! 🤣:inlove::hilarious:

So, @MinnieM123 , I was watchin’ some Motor Trend yesterday, and I thought you might be interested in the two projects below, from Custom Carolina…!!! :)

The first is a restoration of a 1960 Chevy Impala, with a 348 c.i. W-head engine (the forerunner to the 409). They did the restoration as a surprise for an old friend of theirs. Although the car was not the original one their friend owned, it was its twin, and their friend had been looking for one for over 15 years.
The friend drove his original car while dating his soon-to-be wife, to their wedding, on their honeymoon, etc.
They restored everything (including the interior) to original, but, for some reason put custom wheels on it…never did hear the reason why. 🤷‍♂️
Even the engine block, heads, etc., were in good shape, so all they had to do was rebuild it…!!! :)

The second project was taking an old worn out 1973 Chevy Vega GT drag car, making it street legal and a daily runner, but still keeping it bada$$. This project was kinda’ dear to my heart, because I had two friends back in the day (I’ve posted before) that dropped a 327 c.i. Chevy small block into a ‘73 Vega, although it definitely didn’t turn out as nice as this one…!!!!! 😅
Custom Carolina kept the narrowed rear end with huge wheels and wheel tubs, restored the interior to, pretty much, original, and dropped an LT1 crate engine into it…plus, any needed body work, and new paint, of course…ohhh, if I could only win the lottery…but, first, I’d hafta’ start playin’…!!!!! :hilarious:

Anyway, pics of both projects below…!!! :)
