    Saturday - Pulled off the Packard Oil pan - after removing the power steering linkage and starter, and exhaust pipes and everything else they designed to go under the oil pan.

    Sunday: Cleaned out 4-5 hand fulls of sludge. Removed the oil pump to replace with an OLDS high flow. Pre-set the adapter kit I have from some Packard gurus. Will attach everything and reinstall.

    Tranny is done, awaiting install.

    Need more time. and a good power wash for the undercarriage. I was covered in 50 years of dirt. :)

    Rockabilly @ LVMS on sat. No drag racings so I stayed for sunday and got some passes in the Vintage Fuel digger. Last pass was to 1000' and ran a 10.06 @ 125mph.

    That thing looks good.
    For me, I would have to put drag bars on it and it would be perfect.

    I sold the original HAMBCHARGERS dodge [as seen at the HAMB Drags `06]. actually it was the weekend before. Last weekend I bought a decent `34 ford pickup cab with doors and dash, and WS frame. They`ll go to Chickasha with me Thursday nite or Friday AM.
    I might try to trade it for something. I already miss that Dodge!
     
  12. built the carb, dizzy and put in new plugs, got the lake pipes hooked up, installed a new fuse box, wired the brake circuit, running lights and head lights. did a big fat burn out and went for the maiden trip in the floorless buick. man i dig that pontiac torque.

    Went to National Gaurds this weekend. Not much other than that. I did decide to sell most of my model A stuff. Longroof fever is setting in, I hope I can shake if for awhile.
     
  15. Flew out to So-Cal on Friday to meet with a team about the upcoming BAJA 1000. Lengthy meeting on Saturday, got chosen to be a crewcheif (YA-HOO!) probably because me and this other dude, jumped right in when asked to remove motor from Dune-Buggy.

    Sunday, my buddy Burt and I, did a whirlwind tour of Pamona swapmeet and NHRA museum. Posted a thread with pics.

    Still waiting on the heads to come back for the Rocket Olds project.

    Too bad its going away. :)

    Out with the old, in with the new.

    I started on my new hot rod project, (29 Ford pickup) by removing the front suspension and then scratched my head about what brakes/spindles I can use on it. Also got one side of the cobbled up headers off so I can design a new set. Something a little different for the 327. Found a 3 Rochester set up on Craigslist and another engine on HAMB.

    And did a little Photoshop work to get the proportions and stance right. Now I've got to make some big decisions on key components soon so I can keep moving forward on it.

    Ran a four (4) mile race in the morning. Put a new starter on my "T" bucket. Fired up the "T" and drove it to my buddys shop to see his "Speedwagen" project, a Subaru powered VW he's taking to Bonneville next year . The wife and I had a chilly ride going back home but loved every minute of the ride!

    On Friday I took my 3 cars home from the harbor. Customs was OK, just took some time. Impala was damaged, see my other post. Others were in the same condition as I saw them last time. On Saturday there was a swap meet here, sold a bunch of stuff I got from US. Apparently it was good stuff, I made almost 1 grand in euros!

    I finally got to work on the brake system again on my '64 Chrysler now my dailydriver-misery I've been spending 3 weeks-time on has left the 'building'.
    Had the day off tuesday so I could bring crank/rods/pistons to a machine shop to get balanced. Cruised around town a good part of the day in my '65 convert, soking up a few of the last rays we have overhere.
    Finished the day with some scrubbin and brushing some Hemi Rockers...
