    I'm working 12 hour shifts all three days. Making money though.

    got the ride tech airpod mounted, got the rear bags and shocks in, ran all the wiring, neatened it all up and cleared up some of the previous owners "custom" wiring (actually done pretty well, just not the way I'd do it, and I like to have laid hands on things in my cars so I know whats going on when something goes wrong)...

    still more to do...

    Guess I'm a little late as the holiday is almost over but I have been planning and collecting a few pieces for a T Bucket build for my wife. Got a tip on Friday from a co-worker on a '27 project for sale. Went out on Saturday after coffee with my fellow car guys and checked it out. Found lots of good stuff for decent dollars so I drove home and told my Mrs.. She had two words to say....."Buy It!". I start picking it up this week. I was going to do more prep on my daughter's '56 Plymouth today to pull the trans but the weather had other ideas (it's outside!). Wish I had a two stall shop! So I spent the day rearranging stuff around and inside the house to squirrel away all the pieces for the "T". Should be able to keep it all at the house with the exception of the body which I'll put in my buddy's shop. Will post pics later in the week! Regards, Dave

    I brought my old project home in pieces Sept 12 of 09 and yesterday I drove it for the first time after hooking up the steering and slapping a makeshift gas tank in the back.
     
  7. Got the 32 in my avatar all buttoned up after some maiden voyage issues and got a whole bunch of other non essential items done as well. Now I'm just waiting for the radiator to return from Walker after their repair to be out cruising ....

    in respect to the people who actually make this great country, the American worker,

    I didn't do a damn thing to any of my cars all weekend..

    well that's not totally true,
    after a couple calls to FWilliams with some bonehead questions about engine assembly
    I did manage to put together the bottom end on the '57 Olds yesterday..
