That's for sure. It has been the "snowball effect" for a while. The bigger and faster is goes the bigger and faster it goes
Part of it is my own doing. I have been taking Black and white Photographs and doing some contests.

Today I got my turn signal stalk mostly made. It needs a little more work to look better though.

I got the turn signal stalk done today. I couldn't get a good picture of it though. Now I am working on what to use for a boot. I need to order some leather needles for my sewing machine. I now need 3 boots. It would be cool if they all matched.

This morning my dad hit me up for a ride to Capitol Clutch and Brake( He has a cataract that needs surgery ) for a booster for his Peterbilt pickup project.
So I picked up Shoes, Calipers and pads for my Dodge.

I got the turn signal stalk done and painted. So here is a picture. I just stuck the **** there to show how it looks assembled. I am pretty happy with it.
