    Pretty busy weekend but no work done on my coupe. Hung out at the shop on Saturday with the fellers and shot the***** while cleaning up a bit. The tore the bathroom apart with my wife yesterday and painted sanded and pretty much made ourselves miserable.

    Verfy productive weekend. A buddy of mine and I hit the Kalamazoo Michigan swap meet sat morning. Stripped 2 or 3 layers of paint and primer off the crown of my 39 Hudson sat afternoon. Sunday I POR'd the inside of the body while my buddy cut out a bad panel. My dad is now shaping the metal to replace it. At this pace next summer should be on the road.

    Had surgery, bone spurs removed from my left foot friday. Had a back spasm getting up from the couch yesterday morning and spent the rest of the day wrecked. Great weekend, it can only get better...

    Been working on the radiator shroud and filler panels around the AC condenser. Haven't got much done with the cold weather and all, but I did get out in the garage today. The shroud is ready to paint and the filler panels need to be blasted, but I should have the panels done this week. Then I will need one day about 60 degrees for the black epoxy primer.

    I hung a door and made a dash. Tomorrow I shorten, punch and flange a Model A visor and pull a fiberglass copy.
