Nice work on the door check straps.
I enjoyed your story about your mother and the Chevy dealership and buying a Ford.
My grandmother lived to be 100 and died in 1997. When she was 85 she was at KMart with my mother and aunt. She wanted to buy a push lawn mower to mow her grass. She lived alone until just a couple of weeks before she died. My mother and aunt said not just no but "hell no" you have great grandkids that would break a leg to mow your grass. She said "fine, take me home". When she got home, she called my uncle and got him to take her back to KMart and she bought that lawn mower. That little woman could get that thing started (pull start) and push it around and mowed her grass for a good number of years. BTW, her mother lived to be 98. My mother is 91 and lives alone. Hope I got some of those genes.
