Projects Anything get done this weekend?

My customer's ride, a 37 Buick was supposed to be in the SF show this weekend, but Got U Covered didn't get us "covered" so we were a "NO SHOW". I was somewhat depressed (FPO) and needed to lift my spirits so...on the way to the Show yesterday I purchased a GMC 6-71 for my '56 Ford. Got up early today and hit the shop at 5:30 til 8am. Got it torn down, did the diesil to gas conversion, then had to do wife stuff.......then back to the shop at noon for grinding and polishing. Left at 3pm DONE! Can't wait until the am.....phone Hot Heads for more parts and stick the blower on the Hemi. Love the Build.

 

Hey Kiwi Kev why didn't you do some custom bead rolling on the firewall? Just sayin...you got the mad skills to trick it out.

I got my drivers side rocker done and mounted. Cleaned up the "shop". Went to a Mardi Gras ball with the Missus. Drank a lot of bourbon.

 

Picked up my old doors from the body shop & took them to the upholster so he could make new door panels ... Giz'

 

The car looks like it will get a speeding ticket sitting still. Looks awesome.
