    Well boys and girls,....it's been crazy time last several months. We have vacated California. Texas is our new home. Moving a household and garage of 25 years was a m***ive job.
    Got the A down on all fours for the first time. Pretty pleased with the initial stance.

    But just before the move date, the panhard bar bracket on the Roadster broke, ****!!!,...had to quickly weld it up just to get the car on the transport.

    Loading went pretty smooth with the help of a few buds.

    Scored a four car garage in Texas. But it will take awhile to get functional.

    In Manvel, just South of Pearland. Looking forward to discovering Texas Hot Rodders and cruising to the Lone Star Roundup,...y'all ;)
     
  7. Nice size garage Bill! Moving is a huge job! ...and lotsa fun work imagining and setting up a new workspace/shop/garage.

    I guess you'll need to update your location :)

    Welcome to Texas. There is a lot of hot rodders around this area of Texas.

    Looks like you've got it covered, Bill! Now, you just have to work the plan. Good luck!

    Finally found a Weber side draft with capacity for the Hemi. It arrived one day before our departure from Calif. Now my design and fabrication skills will be put to the test,....after I fix the panhard bracket. It's a combo, married to the Lightning manifold, I've imagined since day one.

    Very cool coloring book pages, nice work Given! A new adventure begins eh? It'll be kinda fun to set up your new space but I'd imagine that for a while it'll be like when I upgraded my tool box and spent months getting used to where I had put everything. Good luck Bill.

    From a friend who is more adept than I,...the app is called ChatGPT. It's free for limited use. $19.95 for unlimited.
    To do a coloring page, you upload a picture and in the instructions voice in, "make into a coloring page with thick outlines". If you want to refine the results, just describe the change. Good luck!
