What Are You Doing With Your Ride This Weekend ?

Working on the FC then going over to Ida Open House on Sunday

 

Going to the Outlaw Nationals in Jefferson, Texas early Saturday morning!

Take the kids out and cruise a bit (by THEIR request - and they're both girls!)...maybe connect with a buddy who just scored a nice 62 Tbird and hit Porkys.

 

Got a guy that cuts custom gl*** coming to put my windshields and back doors gl*** in my chopped panel Saturday. Smoke gray tint, should look awesome.

 

this weekend... 1st time fire-up of my t-bucket!

 

Rolling up my sleeves and getting stuck into my 34 pick up, I got the week off so, brakes, gas tank mount, fuel lines, and wiring are on the to do list. Hope to fire it up next weekend (ever the optimist!)

 

Since my son damn near rolled my '51 last night at 75mph (wound up sideways in the medium, but only lost 1 lancer spinner ) I think I will give the '51 a good bath and get the brown stains of the driver side seat.
And yes he will NOT be driving it again anytime soon!

 

Rebuilding All of my steering and power steering components

 

New rear shocks in the 52, getting the kinks out of the carb on my panhead and getting the body work done on the tank for a triumph project.

 

Driving it to a saturday night cruise at Grill %7 in Garner, working in the garage to make space to work on the 51 merc ch***i

 

Primer yesterday. With luck, more today. On the hood.

 

Chasing down leaks on the 28 threw the hood back on. Rearranged my little shed so I can get the car in and still have a little space to work. Got into it with a tough guy that keeps hanging around my shop

 

I'm working on the shoebox chop... Today I'll be welding in the driver's side sail panel!

 

Doin' the cleaning and polishing thing !! Go it back on the road for the season earlier this week - now need to get her pretty again !!! Oh and trying to figure out how to clean paint of the tires.

 

I didn't do a damn thing to the car, except for fire it up and drive it into the garage.

Of course, the fact that I was able to put it in the garage means I was one busy M.F! I have plenty of room to work, too.

So, I did nothing TO my Chevy. However, I busted my **** FOR it.

 

Getting the chicken wire, Muslin, foam padding, and vinyl top stretched and installed on my 26 T Tudor
Man my fingers hurt.

 

Fired up my '50 Chevy 5-window truck, took my best guy to breakfast then for bedding plants to plant the containers for my front porch.

So, basically just drove my ride.

 

I am almost done raising up my motor mounts because when you want it to s****e the ground, the oil pan shouldnt be the first to touch!

Grill and the other side exhaust

 

I swapped out the camaro rear end in my '50 sedan delivery. Pulled out an open 2.41 and put in a posi 3.08. Cant wait to smoke both back tires with the 401 2x4 Nailhead.

 

Saturday took my front wheels over to a friend of my son's in Dayton, Ohio to be relaced and trued up, went to lunch with my son and grandson, then back home. Sunday went and done the honey do list things, then to the garage to work on the bucket. Have you ever started a small repair and it just leeds to more work to fix all the bucther work that somebody before you had done!! It just felt like the longer I worked on the bucket the more I found hacked up, and that it just piss' me off because these guys that bucther stuff call themselfs car builders!!!

 

This is what we did yesterday morning...

got my tub started for the first time in it's new life... the new cam and headers sound just right

 

I rolled my 40 pickup out side for a chance to clean the garage, I bought this truck dissasambled 3 years ago, and I've been collecting parts, so after doing the frame I was putting it all together to confirm I have all the parts - looks good so far.

It has a 302 with a AOD and a 9", this is going to be my dialy driver, at least for 9 or 10 months a year.

Later

 

took the '37 Ford on a cruise over the Rhine river

 

going to install a new windshield on my ride

 

putting my willys back together to hopefully sell soon. ****SHAMELESS PLUG*** '55 Willys project $2000 in cl***ifieds

 

Sunday, going to Upper Bucks Street Rod Clubs Rod Run. One of the few that still only let 48 and older cars in. Yes a 74 year old hot rodder becomes a street rodder, so what. Been there, done that, got the tee shirt, only now I do it in comfort.

 

Saturday will be going to Newport Indiana for the Antique Auto Hill Climb.
