I can't seem to get the stupid grin off my face... even though the clutch died about a mile from my house.

I fixed the rear main leak and greased up the axle spindles in my truck.

 

Put a new battery in the Triumph, she fired on the first kick like any good Triumph should and I went for a nice ride in this awesome weather!

 

I spent the weekend and most of last week doing 16 hr. days trying to get my A roadster on the road to PA titling. At their current four week turnaround I will be able to salvage the last half of summer if I really move. Three more weeks would make this a 14 week build from start to title, not bad.

 

I played around with rust removal by electrolysis. Started derusting my model A frame.

 

I got the motor in my 53 dodge Pilothouse running, one mean mutha!
There are lots of goodies in this critter, but my favorite item is my old school Mallory converted to HEI by HAMBer GMC Bubba. Its beautiful and I hid the coil and module etc under the dashboard so the firewall stays clean and simple looking.

 

drove my 53 about 20 miles, sweated my ass off. about finished my mini bike but can't seem to find cheap bicycles to scavenge cables and levers from to ride it. I need to gear it down some too.

 

Put a set of residual valves on the wifes truck, and re-bled them.....Tons of brakes now.....

 

worked on my battery box and fuse box, the one that is made from an old tool box

 

Started piecing together the subrails on the '30 Roadster, three differect doner bodies.

 

Holy crap lets see the tank you are using!

 

No, no giant tank, I ground down the rivets and knocked the whole frame apart. This weekend I just did the crossmembers. But doing the rails won't be hard, I've got a bunch of 4 x 4's that I'll scab together to make a long skinny "tank" and line it with a couple of layers of visquine (sp?) I'll lay a length of re-bar in the bottm for the cathode.

 

picked up my new air compressor so i can get some paint on the minor.
On the way home i stopped at a stop sign in the middle of nowhere and heard a ringing, found a cell phone in the grass. Managed to find out who the owner was and get that back to them. What luck it rang just as i stopped

 

I did this to my roadster pickup, but I don't dare say anything about it!!!

 

I peaked my hood

 

Took my son to Waycross GA to pick up his new car hauler trailer. 24' enclosed. Nice ..

 

drove my heap around the block for the first time since september. now all thats left is some metal/bodywork.

 

Got the 50 ready to test fit the engine......

 

I got the 61 Ford out for the first time this year. Got the Woody ready for a baking soda bath this week.

Murph

 

made some hinges for my t. didnt want to spend 120$ for a full set when i only need one side that goes into the cowl. i think they turned out good consindering i only half-way knew what i was doing.

 

This weekend was eventful drove 450 miles with my best buds to the rust revival.

 

Got to ride on a WW2 B-17 Bomber...it's the most fun I've ever had with my clothes on!

 

GOOD FOR YOU! Did the same 3-4 years ago best plane ride for the money in my book. Got to think about my Dad as a ground crew member and all the kids that went up in them and never made it back. Good to see them flying.

 

Did a compression test on my cars. Blown head gasket on the Mini, Dart needs valve work and the '54 is still running like a champ every day!

Took my 31 chevy out for the 3rd time . Have new tires on ot. Filled up the gas tank 1/2 way . no leals. Next is front alignment on a machine.

 

Spent five hours at a photo shoot then finished Saturday off at the fifth Saturday cruise in Powder Springs, then Sunday noon till four at the cruise/show at the Varsity in Kennesaw....yeah I got some sun this weekend.

 

Spent three fantastic days in Wayland, MO at the Rust Revival...

 

I drank beer by the pool. Then I passed out.
