    I'm into kilts and computers....but I also have a special place in my heart for old vehicles. Tell us about the truck!

    I'm into kilts. This is my third actually as I made one for my Daughter's bear. I think I'm ready to sew a tartan kilt now. I tollerate computers. The truck is a 1959 Chevrolet Apache 3200. It is totally original. I've found all of the needed trim work and will install it after paint. I drive it about once a week when it's not too hot. No Air. Straight six, 3 on the tree. O'Neille

    Great looking truck! Oh, and the kilt is nice too. Amazingly fast pace you have going. I wish that I could put something together that fast

    I'm blown away by the speed you manage to crank these things out. It takes me three times as long!

    Alan I may be fast but I am not that meticulous. If I veer off a couple mm I usually just keep on sewing. I also tend to sew straighter at high speed. This time, just using a fine tip dress makers pencil saved me a lot of time. My granite kitchen counter is also perfect for marking and pinning a kilt. I figure I don't have a lot invested so if I screw it up I haven't lost anything but some time an fabric. Next I will be hand sewing a tartan kilt, just so I can say I did. O'Neille

    Well....here's a question for you.....since you are getting so fast at this and you enjoy it, are you going to start selling them for $100 a piece as a money-making hobby on the side?

    Nope! At $100 each I'd be selling my free time for much less than my regular job. I make them for wholly personnal reasons. My posts are purely for educational and motivational reasons; to get people who have the inclination to try making one and share their results. O'Neille

    O'Neille,

    That looks great. I don’t think you look like a ref at all; and even if you did, nothing wrong with that. I have a weird vision of you giving a red tartan card to some poor guy wearing his kilt backwards. "The Kilted Police, The Kilted Police"

    Out of curiosity, is that an All blacks Jersey?

    I hope to some day build my own, but I don’t know that I have the skills yet.
