Since you ask (and only because of that)......

John Willis is now known as Councilman John Willis, District 5
Garland Texas.

He ran for City council and used his Green '59 beetle as a gimmick to
win the seat. It worked well. He's only been on City Coucil for a
short while, so I can't say I have any clue how he's doing.

All this, and I became unemployed about 5 or 6 weeks ago, after 13
years of dedication to the company. They opted out of the line of work
I was doing and there are some pretty good limits on what's out there
doing the same. My job was very specialized and no one pays what they
were paying me. I have a severance package that will be good for 4
more paychecks then I have to get serious about getting some kind of
job.... I have delved into powder coating and am currently able to do
anything up to (and including single color applications) 16 or 17 inch
rims. Once I get my bigger oven done I'll be off and running able to
do Cycle and 4 wheeler frames and such also. I am shooting for
completely custom work, but I'm sure if someone waves enough money at
me, I'll do anything.

I was going to ask,.... Shaggy, what year model is your truck? I had
that same grill in mine and opted to swap it out for a 2005 STX ranger
grill. Looks much better to me and is simply easier to clean up. If
you'd like a picture I'll take one for ya. Nice truck asnyway though.

Not really Randy. That's just the angle or something. It's nasty
filthy right now. I've been using it to haul everything for everybody
for a month now! Unemployment benefits I guess.....
