Had to yank down a fence and relocate it to acomodate the new 59 buick I'm bringing home tues or wed Christmas is early for me. Also had to somewhat reasemble the olds to be able to move it to get the buford in also. Take it apart, put it together, take it apart.....

Washed -vacumed and changed all the fluids on My 51 shoebox today.Gettin it ready for winter hibernation. Went and picked up the dash and inside window trims for the 49 Merc gonna paint them candy tangerine. FEDER
Started doing the typical tune-up and clean-up things on my Buick. Plugs, wires, vacuum lines, etc. Nothing real major to tackle on this car, mechanical wise, just basic routine maintenance. I think that I will have to leave it alone for now, because I still have not started my christmas shopping...I am with ya Donzie...BAH HUMBUG!
Today I hooked the big trailer onto my 39 Ford pickup and drove 40 miles over to get --something--didnt know what. It turned out to be a nice trailer made out of the back half of a 1950 Ford pickup. I guess someone somewhere is gonna have a nice trailer to match his 1950 Ford pickup. Picture tomorrow in the sunshine
Visited my wife in the hospital most of the day, but then I came home and got my 8 3/4 posi cleaned and painted and installed the model T spring. Then I started to mock up the frame for the modified.
I painted the firewall and inner fenders on my 59 dodge. mounted both drivers and passengers outer fenders. started sanding grill componants and worked on the push bumper mounts. good day all around.
Hell...I was stoked enough that the rain let up today..I actually got to bring the Buick out and drive it through town.Had to get the fluids flowin for a while.
i started to build the bracing for the tilt front end on the gasser..trimmed a lit fat off the front valance..
I cleaned my garage and moved a ton of stuff so that the concrete contractor can get started digging tomorrow. New concrete floor! Whoohoo! After I have a new floor, I might actually be able to build something one day.
Cleaned up the tools off the floor in the garage, tore down the rest of the top end of the engine. Bagged and tagged all the bolts that were lying on the floor. Spent the afternoon with my new grandbaby.
Blew the oak leaves outta my gutters.......put new gaskets in my snow-blower carb and road tested that bee-otch. Grabbed the propane tank off the gas grill and installed it on my garage wall-heater...I'm ready for ol man winter. Went looking for some big-center buick wheels for the front of my jeep project.......no luck.
