So. What did you get done this weekend??

Damn near nothing at all. Got back from the hospital last thursday (bypass) and the time spent since, has been more or less cathing things up on the HAMB.

 

Two cars sitting in shop . Can't touch untill kitchen get's painted ,2nd weekend in this project

 

I like yer farmall nose on yer bucket I guess i wasnt totaly nuts for thinking about that cool!!!

 

I drove the hell out of my T bucket and hung out with some very cool HAMBers. Also started a list of "to get" items for my next project.

 

Got this one done

 

Drove 1400 miles to Salem VA and back. to give HillbillyHell a hand with the bike that he's been building for The Horse Magazine biker buildoff. Learned how to use a polisher as there are no chrome pieces on the bike. Worked for about 24 hours and we got the bike to its debut. Kind of different working on a show vehicle versus my jalopy.

 

Worked Saturday Sunday baptized my nephew then went to my daughter's graduation.As for the car didn't touch it at all Im so ashamed...

 

I built the center post for my coupster windsheild.

And made a template for the corner post and glass. Now I have a plan...

Looks really good Eddie, any fancier and you'll have to lose the tractor grille See ya Saturday at the show.

 

Got a '72 CB350 in the shop for a rewire job on Friday evening. Didn't have a wire on it. I wired everything from scratch, all soldered and heatshrinked, fired her off at 8pm tonight (Monday). Not bad for 6 hours of work (the rest of the time I was farting around and drinking beer)

 

Mowed under a car up on blocks in my backyard for the first time. Non-car, I picked up a really cool but spendy sax this weekend...it's kinda HAMB friendly since it's from '59.

 

Drug a nice 29 sedan home,went to work Sat.am.Cleaned the garage,started loading the trailer for York.

 

Drove to Milwaukee to get my tires cut. Also visited the girlfriend while I was up there.

 

What kind of '37 do you have

 

The heck with that grass.....lovin this ittle bitty truck!!!

 

We sold and delivered my wife's 69 Firebird!

48 Poncho

 

Made a ton of work for myself before the Cinematic (25 days!). Need to have the firewall painted, engine painted, all the rest of the inner body work derusted and painted, floors patched, gas tank patched, exhaust opened up, and the tripower setup installed...

 

Went to Savannah and hung out all weekend. Was neat, nothing car related though. Was a fun weekend in a fun city .. Spent the last night in Jekyll Island GA. A disaster there .. Won't do that again anytime soon .. !!!

 

I got one step closer to driving my 53 Desoto again

 

Changed a Fuel filter and drove 500 bumpy miles.

 

Pulled the engine from my non hamb friend project, and took the DA to it. sanded off all the craptacular primer that was blowing off anyways. Then I started cutting the rear tail panel out at which point I realized why the replacement panel was so reasonably priced.

Noone in their right mind replaces the entire panel. Its friggin' oragami with the floor, trunk lip, and quarter panels, held in by about 300 spot welds...

 

Not much on the car, finished the brake plumbing (gotta bleed it still) on the Anglia and got some windows back in.

The rest of the weekend was spent on O/T familial crap (gotta do it sometimes though).

 

cleaned my garage and found my 69 dart.

 

Started installing my new carpet. Looks nice.

 

Cleaned out the garage and discovered the Chassis on my Cranbrook is rotted out.

 

I drank beer and watched James Bond movies.

Kind of a repost, but I got my 54 painted. Before and after:

 

Can you post some more pix of this or email them to me? I need to make one and you did a super nice job on this.

As for what I did this weekend, I went to a brewerania show (beer stuff) in Albquerque. Afterwards, we went digging for cans. I didn't find any decent cans but I did find this Chevy radiator shell. It's in pretty good shape (that bend on the bottom left is real simple to fix) and even has the chevy emblem attached. Got a whole trailer full of other stuff from the dump I posted last year as well.

 

Watched the concrete dry on the new entrance ramp and parking pad that we poured on the end of the shop. Now I'll be able to get the '32 in and out of the shop without dragging the drain plug on the oil pan. We've lived here for 14 years since building the new house and shop and still have loose ends to get done. One more checked off the list.

got half the wiring done on the front half of the 58'.
finished all the front brakes, finally instaled all of the steering colom brackets.
got most of the fuse box parts instaled, what i dont get is how there needs to be 5 parts to a fuse panel.
