Visited my old man.

Happy father's day.

 

Had to post a better picture

 

Rained most of the weekend here, but managed to remove one running board from my F1 truck.

 

only got rained on once in the roadster.

 

Not much, kinda piddled around with the 71 Honda, going on ebay next week to help finance the Model A.
Got the flames planned out for the 50 Burb.
Got the oil cooler hooked up on my 71 Chevy diesel pickup.
Called my parents, had some friends over.

Doors look nice Joe, you do good work there!

 

L.A. roadster show all weekend and man am I beat.

 

Stuck some "Trick springs" under the 84 GN...thats about all I did automotive lol.. Other then that I got really drunk last night and today I boated around the lake...

 

picked up a cadillac 346 flathead, 899 pounds of pure goodness. BBQ with the kiddies.

 

Worked at my regular job saturday. me and my youngest son fixed his car, we hope, damned computer controlls. Grilled some burgers. installed a Sirius radio in my pickup that I got for Fathers Day.

 

went and ordered the body for my new project a 27 T bucket. Will get delivery next saturday.hoping to build a T rpu along the line of Ralf Malfs yellow A on Happy Days.I'm looking for a complete windshield set up for a 27T Stansions and frame that is

 

BBQ for family/kids/friends, helluva sunburn on my head, 8pm in CA and a hangover/headache already. Absolutely nothing car related all weekend. Mixed feelings on that one...................

 

Plumbed a new brakeline on the front of the '46' ford P.U

 

I worked on my 57 chevy straight axle car. I put ladder bars and coil overs on it. I didnt want to go that route but the reared is 2 inch's to narrow to use the leaf springs.

 

Pulled the radiator and dropped it off at a local shop to have it pressure tested. Hopefully it's good because I am way over budget on my SBF swap.

I also ordered:
Edelbrock 1405 carb
TV cable and throttle cable
Lokar shifter
Headers
Trans Cooler and lines
Rebel Wiring Harness (9+3)
Assorted small parts

All that's left to purchase (theoretically) are the front end kit from Kantner, the driveshaft mods once I drop in the engine and tranny and the exhaust.

Now that my hand is healed up, I'm ready to get rolling again.

I'm going to pull the 223 next weekend and hopefully start on the wiring.

I also built a deck this weekend...in the rain. That sucked.

 

not alot, got some stuff sanded on my 49, hood and fenders cleaned it up some put some chrome in storage otherwise i smoke about 10 packs of cigarettes and drank a case or two of pabst

 

I lettered a new ford supper duty for a construction comapany, no pics yet. Sold a couple of sold p.o.s. honda motorcycles i had laying around . And tested a striping color on my interior of the ole f-100.
WHAT YA THINK

 

I pulled the front sheetmetal, motor, trans, radiator and driveline out of my 38 Plymouth truck to begin the 318/727 swap..EVILT

 

Went from this to this, Hope to be driving it to the drags in Aug.

 

This pic. might be better.

 

not a damn thing! all this workin for a living has got to come to a screeechin' halt so I can have some fun in the garage!

 

Thought about working in the garage. In reality, spent saturday moving a few loads from the tiny city apartment to the country house. I will be glad when this house thing is about wrapped up, so will the 52 binder in my driveway. Today...nuttin!

 

6 hour drive, ( total ) in a car that I was still working on up until the moment I left for a show...I lost my tag...other than that: It was like a Swiss watch........well, a noisy Swiss watch...
If all you do is lose your tag on a maiden voyage, I would chalk that up to a success...

 

Went to the Roadster show........................got sore feet.

 

i got my car just about ready for primer this weekend, while annoying my dad the whole time.....it was in his garage......

 

snazzy 66

 

Well, since I have no kids, and my dad passed away 5 years ago, I decided to honor him by working on one of my projects-sanding and blocking my Nash roadster. A good day it was.

 

Did a bunch of yard work, laundry, and housework. Worked on my house AC unit, played with my Schwinns, ran errands, ate a big ol burger, slept on the floor in my dirty clothes (I was tired) washed all the crud out from under the hood on my '64 Comet, pulled out all the mystery wiring someone added, yanked out what was left of the heater and cooling stuff,posted to the HAMB forum...hey wait a minute...

 

Was under my "A"this weekend fabbing an exhaust system should have it hung by next weekend.
