so what did you get done this weekend?

Crawled under and checked the diff and ****** oil levels. Southern exposure, a nice day, so I sat in the sun and contributed to the s**** aluminum box. (Old Milwaukee)

 

Got my wheels and motor painted. Also got the tires mounted up.

 

I welded up some supports on to a cart to hold my doors for my 55 Chevy truck for paint, Then got them primed. Took out the old u-joints from my swapmeet driveshaft and got the shaft painted too.

 

i ripped apart an old 283 for my boss and practiced some head porting on some old junkers in the yard.. i love those old 59 dash's we have a 59 impala more door at the shop, 348 optioned out im in love with them

 

Got the gl*** buggy just about ready to "power up". I'm getting too old to wire the underneath of dash while it is in the car....

I did drive the 36 for a while...to Lowes..

I know off topic but....

 

Saved myself $1000... I took my welder to a shop to look at it cause it had stop working. It was maybe 4 years old. They told me the transformer had blown out. (I baby the hell out of this mig welder.) The whole thing sounded fishy so I told them to put it back together and I would be up to get it. They charged me $45 to look at it and also told me they would give me 100 dollars credit toward a new unit. And to fix the unit would be 1150.00!!!!

I took the panel off, found a burned connection, cut the connection back reconnected and better than new. I was so mad I could hardly see straight. Money has been tight this year and they wanted to hold me down an Fk me.

This was a Dallas welding shop on Northwest Hwy.

 

Got the radiator installed, template made for the air cleaner bottom, driver side air vent tube stripped of old paint and primed, all the front sheet metal tightened up and put new fender skirt rubber on the 51.

 

Got a lot done today, we took the truck bed off my dads truck, and me and my buddy took the whole front clip off my 43 Ford, we did it in a couple of hours, with only a couple of lights, no heat, and all after dark. We had a fun time.

 

If you bring that car over here you can get a job as a mailman!

 

Well, I'm 3000 miles from my garage.... so I went to Pomona.

 

Ummm..some car part do dad trinket shopping at Automania At the Allentown Pa. Fairgrounds. Got my bumper bolts and some brackets and electrical stuff. My buddy bought a brand new set of 302 heads cheap. Saw a few HAMB friendly vehicles outside a truck & a roadster. Hey it was a nice ride on a nice day.

 

Wrapping up a rewire job on a '51 Chevy, with new fuel pump, alternator & bracket. Messed with the '50 Burb fuel tank venting. Various household stuff, and the weekend's got one more day to go! (Monday off)

 

I kept pluggin' away on cleaning the garage, took the family and some of my oldest son friends to see the Harlem Globetrotters at the Oakland arena for his 10th birthday,ran errands today... maybe next weekend the wagon will finally fit into the garage and get it's new driveline.

Spent some serious time thinking about all of the **** I've got do before spring. Looked outside see that it wasn't above freezing. Watched some of the rescue operations going on in Haiti................took a nap.

Finished sanding up my '37, now that all the metal work is finished, so I can take some pictures before knocking it apart to epoxy it. Thanks to my buddy Al and his incredible metal working skills on the roof chop and tons of other repairs and alterations.

 

Got the deck lid painted and wet sanding all the parts to my new model.

 

Got my rear inner fender wells moved up, new motor mounts in, radiator mounted, original master cylinder gutted, and started making a bracket to piggy back a dual master cylinder behind the original.
