I had the day off of work this Wednesday, but not for a good reason...jury duty. Now I fully understand the importance to society that I fulfill my civic duty, but like a visit to the doctor it was not comfortable. I was completely bored, falling asleep, I'd rather have been at work. To make matters worse, more snow. I woke up today to another foot of the white stuff everywhere, and after five hours of shoveling, I am out of places to put it. (Yes, another day off of work due to inclement weather - and again I'd rather have been at work)I have given up shoveling out the frame of the '66 as it sits all covered up in the driveway, we dig it out at least once a week just to have it covered up with snow again. Tommy is probably making enough money this winter plowing snow to build a Top Fuel car for next race season. Zach and I watched a new show on Discovery, Desert Car Kings. The show profiles Ron and Jason McClure and their family business — Desert Valley Auto Parts — which houses over 10,000 rust-free vehicles over 100 sun-baked Arizona acres.
Not content with merely providing original parts for thousands of car collectors and restoration junkies each year, the McClures and their crew are constantly on the hunt for cars to restore — seeking them out in backyards, barns and even on their own massive lot.
Their goal? To restore these classic American cars to their original glory and get them back on the road, while discovering the unique and historically significant qualities of each car — and of course, to fetch a fair price at auction.
