Being a car guy definitely comes with some side affects. Today I only want to talk about one, Tools. Yes, tools are a basic necessity in the hobby, let’s just try not to let it get out of hand.

Hurry up and wait, a parts story.
The 61 International Scout is off to the side waiting for parts. If anyone ever asks you why you have so many projects, this is why. It’s nice to jump to something else while you wait.
