Two will leave, two will stay. leaving the 57, 210 and the avatar coupe.
Finding proper placement of boxes, cabinets, and excess parts.
Tossing dead cans of paint and other aerosols.
Sadly, finding evidence of rodents and other creatures.
Trying to regain muscle lost while coping with blood disorder and lung infections.
So Hip Hip hoooRay, here's to hope

 

Finally got the 302/C4 situated in the '47 panel. Was able to place it without modifying the original crossmember.

 

Third member change

 

Cleaning up the wiring on the new (to me) '33 roadster to make everything work properly.

 

I have spent the last three days helping the daughter of my departed friend clean out his shop.
He had been the go to guy for driveshaft work and machining work and had been in this building for 40 years.
This place is a real mess and full of treasures. Real hard not wanting to take most of it home with me.
She did send me home with a few things to remember him.


Few odds and ends stuff.
Trying to make a deal on these magnesium wheels, not sure why it's not like I really need them.
Be going back next week for another stab at it. This could take a month to get this job done.

 

new roadster mill. Taking forever.

 

Wow, that's gotta be a bittersweet chore...
Sorry about your buddy .

 

Thank you. He was my last living mentor and is missed daily.
His daughter use to go to a lot of the events that we attended. We are having some good times talking about back in the days though.

 

Ass end

 

Got the 302 for the Ranch Wagon ready to break in the cam. A good friend set it up on his run stand and it fired up and ran at 2,000 RPM for 20 minutes. 20 minutes took for ever. Now all I need is the rust repair to be completed on the Wagon. Maybe even be ready for Lloydfest 2024.

 

Quit feeling sorry for myself and got the front valence for the barracuda hammered back into shape, mostly, a little filler and primed it, put another coat of primer on the trunk lid. Last three pieces to paint.

Started taking apart the front end of the Fargo to assess the damage…

 

I'm sorry for your loss, James. That's a lot of stuff to go through and I'm sure some may trigger a memory or two.

 

Thanks Steve. It's seems that happens every 2 or 3 minuets.

 

A better exhaust hanger system hangers.

 

Made brake hose tabs for the Henry J

 

Motor swap in for my '40 is done. Now I gotta get the brakes working better so I can put some miles on it.

 

When to help a buddy with the hood for his 62 Biscayne. We needed to fit it on the car and this thing has been setting around for a spell and had a bunch of rust between the top and reinforcement and hey why not put it on a diet while were at it.

 

Connecting A to B, C to D and E to nowhere yet

 

You can have a longer pan hard rod, my mount with a 4 bar, rides so much better and clears everything good.

 

got the hood and trunk lid sealed and the red for the stripe on, hopefully masked and white on tomorrow.

 

Made a trip to Springfield to pick up my buddy's 62 ragtop from the paint shop. Also hook up for lunch with Randall (thanks for buying lunch) and Jackson (thanks for helping Wendy with her dad's stuff) it was a great trip.

 

Went to a buddy car barn to replace the carburetor on his woody wagon today. Thanks Jon @carbking for the carburetor. Now waiting on a battery and fuel pump.

 

Spent some time out in the shop this weekend, got all the electrical working on the Barracuda. Now I just have to pull the transmission again to swap flywheels…

 

Licking my calf! Solvent pop i assume. Just wasn't pleased with it. I've been walking by it everyday, pretending it wasn't there lol. Everything else is painted, sanded it down to respray it Wednesday.
