Its another day and what did you?

Get done last night?

Yes again I worked late last night. I managed to get the front brake lines bent, flared and ran to the master cylinder. I ran out of line so the rear will have to wait til tonight. Oh yea I also put in a new trans dipstick tub grommet in and a kick down cable repair kit!!!


NOW WHAT DID YOU DO LAST NIGHT!!

 

I drilled and tapped some floor screws. Solved a big snag with the battery mount. That will free up lots of other things to do. It's great when the light bulb lights and things fall into place!!

 

Well, as planned we had the leftovers from the Chicken and Dumplins' that I had made on Monday night. And they did thicken up as I thought they would. My only regret is that the dumplings more or less disintegrated and became more like part of the broth. We did as before talk about how much we loved the Green Bean...and tried to come up with ideas or ways we could make our projects more like it. I also painted some valve covers for the Lincoln I am selling.

Made dinner, did my homework, washed the hounds then went to the barn and took a bunch of pictures of junk, posted them for people who want to trade, and put some stuff in the classifieds.

 

Ran some more wires and assembled another small part of the simplified harness. Finished making the mount for my fusebox and junction block and bolted it into the glovebox area.

Nothing glamorous...just getting some basic shit taken care of!

 

Did eGay recon last nite:

Picked up a new pair of smithys for 54 bucks.

Looked at an A sedan, too rich for me but he's got alot of other stuff so a good future resource.

 

I spackled and painted in my new (to me) house. Does that count?

 

Skated the new bowl at Project-58, good old school session. Came home and watched Vegas... Oh yeah I did put the center caps on my Salt Flats...

 

had the tires mounted to the rims and bolted them to the axles.

It all counts if you atleast at one point wished you were working on a ride

 

I cleaned up the oil slick in the garage under the SkyLark - finished stripping everything off that pile that might fund the DOGG Bucket, thru some wheels and maypops off my buddy Monty's S10 on the front so it will roll it out for the scrap man to come get
Staked out my house pad and drainfield location, went to bed fought the dogs for covers
Got up at 3:30 this morning paid bills, finalized an estimate for a guys house and got my permit stuff together for my subs and made it to work by 6:30

 

i got home from florida in the morning and i started up the comet after sitting for a week and it still ran like crap, so i decided to take it off the road for a few weeks and finsih the bodywork and pull the motor and clean everything up. So what i did last night was get the motor ready to pull, all i have left to do is the tranny bolts and motor mounts and i hope to get it out tonight! Ill take pics as soon as i get batterys for my camera!! Nate

 

Went back to work on my new office, hope to finish it up this week, so I can move a wall or two and finish up my garage befor spring (long story, but I really can't work on the driveway any more).
Spent some time bench racing with the wife. What, you don't bench race with the wife? I'd bench race with you but you're not here.
There is a down side to bench racing with the wife, can't lie she was there most of the time.

 

I spent most of the evening alone with a long neck...man I get some good work done when its just me

 

I brought this home

 

MOC.....is that a depot hack?
Man, I love drawing those things....what are your plans?

 

Bought more early junk I couldn't pass up even though I don't have a project for it yet: Chevrolet script valve covers to go with my '54 Merc air cleaner, '35 Ford wheels and '46 Ford steering wheel.

See where this is heading?

 

This has to keep going every day....WOW this is almost like a live Journal!!! hahahah

 

Model A woody.....29? 31?

 

Went after a cheap Bronco I bought for the front sheetmetal(to fix a wreck here in the shop) The dude had a big lump under a tarp in his tiny back yard.......31 Tudor body. Frame leanin against the garage.....His wife said "You NEED that old car!" My pulse rate went up a little. I thought to myself "hey Beavis, you're gonna SCORE-heheheh"..... 'Bout the time I lifted the tarp and saw rotten door bottoms , dude said "yeah, I gave $2100 fer it" End of MY excitement

Went home, opened beer, watched "Roids"

I took the radiator out of the mother in law's Taurus in the dimming twilight.
Watch a bitch suck job that was. Less fun than wearing shoes that are two sizes too small

 

Nads thats why you should have brought it to us!!
Bro deal is off...your window closed at 12 noon today. your back to full price...hell maybe even over priced

 

Johnny Ace, its a good running 1926 Dodge depot hack.. It has a new engine ,new paint, new upholstery, new wood (OAK), new glass. The reason it looks like that is because the freshly painted cowl, hood, fenders etc need to be put back on. The tires are 6.00x20 ! same size as my 1935 Ford 1 1/2 ton truck! The Dodge is heavy duty, high quality that makes the same year Ford look flimsy in comparison. What am I gonna do with it? I guess I'll go to the grocery store in it. Ride around and look for Babes. What would you do with it? I will probably drive it to Colorado (seriously)

 

Man! MOC....I couldn't place the details...it sure had me guessing....That roofline sure fooled me into thinking it was an A....
I would rent it out to surf bands for videos and stick longboards in it....OR add some wooden scrollwork, paint it black and stick a coffin in it .....cruise around St Louis #1 in Nawlins and drive hot Goth chicks around....
Yes,I would!

 

Bring On The Hot Goth Chicks!!

 

restripped the fenders and tanks on the bike I am painting - just got done shooting the primer

 

Intended to head right to the shop after night class, but first got the 30th birthday party flyer-invite done (see "Caption Quest" post from last night), burnt a pizza (typical, really) THEN got into the garage, did filler work on the rear fenders 'til near 5 AM (today's my Sunday), a real assault of Evercoat, 60 grit, Springsteen and Coors.

 

Found the perfect location for the battery cut off switch and started making the neccessary cables to hook everything up on my 35 pu. Also polished the carb throat and drilled out the main jet on my little 2 stroke scooter I'm tired of the kid down the street smokin me in the nightly neighborhood scooter races...lol

Finished pulling the engine and trans.from the truck that tried to kill me. pressure washed the engine.romovedthe exhaust manifolds,intake mani.,and valvecovers. cleaned and scraped the block to get ready to paint. Glenn

 

I finished the wiring job on my 54 and checked everything and everything works great. Except when I push on the brakes the front signal lights go on. Least I know what's wrong and its a simple fix.
