Well my 69 Firebird Convertible has a project name!
"Poetry in Motion"
I am sure some of you will relate to my thoughts on stuff. I see a freshly machined part and want to hang it on the wall as art! A carbon fiber hood or valve cover is a thing of beauty to me. For my wife it is well crafted words. So she wrote me a poem about the car.
I can see the vision of all that I find to be engineered works of art incorporated into my finished project. And that vision for me is sheer POETRY!
So "Poetry in Motion" it is and here is my wife’s poem;
You, my love, are my feathers & flames.
Though your body is shot, your spirit remains.
Thirty-five and technically called an antique,
There's much more to you than just your physique.
Never mind that you're loaded & have lots of gas.
You enjoy going topless - now that's what I call class!
Aluminum heads, all shiny & new,
You now have a 6-speed transmission, too.
Fuel-injected for maximum drive,
With a Pontiac engine 455.
Many men have loved you in the past,
But their love for you, it didn't last.
Now I'm proud to have you as my own,
To shelter you and give you a home...
in my garage.
My wife can't envision this beauty I see,
As she stares at your frame with no doors & no seats.
Assure her, I do, that you'll win at the show
In your dress of new metal, painted Viper yellow.
Next to help my (and her) visualizations Kris will be providing some renderings this spring I hope!!
