??What did you Acomplished this WEEK-END*??

I pulled off a pretty big open house/party at my shop. Took a week worth of prep.

We served 30 burgers, 30 dogs and four huge briskets, three gallons of pasta salad, couple dozen corn cobs, couple gallons of potato salad and enough beer and soda to fill a three cubic yard dumpster.

Oh yeah we ran enough laps on the NASCAR simulator to run two actual races!

 

My weekend started of ****ty, Wife was stopped and got rearended by a full size Dodge truck, guy was looking for his cell phone.. Luckily she make it thru OK but the guy in front of her went to the hospital, hit is head on the windshield (we was also stopped waiting for the car infront of him to turn...


Spent some time finishing up the garage project and dug out some old posters I forgot I even had.

Picked up model A parts for a fellow HAMBer and arranged shipping to sunny California. For my trouble, I got a couple Model A cowls and possibly an Edelbrock aluminum intake for my 400 sbc. Got to visit my 53 Nash and 37 willys pickup projects stored at a buddy's house.
Took a mini [100 mile] roadtrip in the Porsche just to adjust my at***ude. Played a bit on the HAMB.......

Saturday morning went Junk yard hoppin' with my son

Saturday afternoon started making my version of a 34 grill. Thanks again Crease for the measurements!

About 7:00 PM Saturday night started a all night chop party at a buds house. We chopped 4 inches out of his 29 Sedan.

Sunday worked on the grill some more, then went over to another friends house and help him tune his blown 350.

Great weekend! But now I feel I got more done on other's rides than on mine!!!

That's weird, I got a cat and screwed a drunk.

After that, I went to Zhills and bought a bunch of sh*t i only sort of needed, then worked on cleaning out "the Barn" most of the day Sun. should be ready to populate by the end of the month target date.

 

Helped raise $112,000 for ALS (Lou Gehrigs Disease) and got to drive a '67 390 4 speed Mustang coupe yesterday and a '67 Shelby GT500 Mustang with a dual-quad 428 4-speed today. I was in Mustang heaven... the GT 500 is a very sweet ride. I took some pics.. I'll see if I can upload them. Went by the show at Jack Lowrodders for about an hour too. Good to see the ********s out there in the rain.

 

Finished front end swap and did complete rear end swap on the '47. **** YEAH!

 

decided to take advantage of the rainy weather and set up my new sizzler track with my son,bought a 1970 set complete from a guy,it rocked.

 

directions made my head hurt!!

 

then got ready to paint the living room..Sorry if too off topic,but I thought traditional hotwheels might count..

 

check out my thread ***led "another model A tudor DESTROYED" and you'll get the full update on what i did this weekend. basicly i turned a tudor into a pickup cab!! it was FUN!!!

 

<font color="purple"> Let's see, finished shaping the frame of a bicycle chopper, it's the first thing I have welded. Worked on shaping my new guage panel, and helped put a nose on a 57 bug that had been baja'd. A model builder's club meeting. Took a test for a job with the city, stage hand at the auditorium. went through 4 boxes of Hot Wheels picking out what to sell, that gets me about half way through the 30+ boxes I have. Mom went to the hospital so had to visit (she's fine, a bad asthma attack). And the worst, I got dumped. </font>

 

Swept Coles FLOOR, and traded naked **** pictures, and looked on ebay for NAZI collectables...

did my nails and made the kids work like cotton farmers in the shop for WEED..

went to an AA meeting with ZSA ZSA GABOR,,,

then punched her in the face on the way home...

oh and drank beers in the model "A'...

 

<font color="purple"> Speaking of Nazi collectables, my dad had went in 1/2 &amp; 1/2 with his neighbor on one. It was a podium flag, the really long ones that hang behind the guy at the podium. My dad just liked wierd ****, but unfortunately the neighbor was proud of it cuz it turned out he was KKK. After a few weeks he sold his 1/2 to that guy to stop all the guys "friends" from coming over. they thought my dad would join them. ***holes. </font>

 

Worked at the station this weekend, but around that was dodging rainstorms to get (even minimal) bodywork done on the cab. Bought my first digital cam, messed with it and found out why it's only $25, should of gotten back into teaching the gf's son to rebuild a carb. Speaking of which- Plan 9, the UPS reimbur*****t check is in the Monday mail- thanks!
Mostly waiting for dryer weather. At least I was gonna have to be at work this weekend, anyway.

 

Got ready for winter. Moved **** around in the garage so I could put the Bugeye away and make room for the snowblower.

Then loaded a bunch of '32 parts into the '54 Chebby pickup so I can haul it all to the ch***is shop this week. Looks good with a nailhead strapped into the bed. Found my old aluminum skull shift-knob in the process -- one that looks like a high-school shop project.

Also stopped at an estate/barn sale and bought some junk, including an old military-strength shop chair. Damn thing looks like it should be mounted on a tank. One of the other things was an old "Road Knights" car club plaque that wasn't priced. The guy just said "take it." Cool.

later.
Steve.

 

Put together my new sandblasting cabinet! Anyone got an old vacuum?...cough...cough....

 

Bought a new Victor Blue Tip At***ude Adjustor Wrench.
Soon as I get some bottles I'll be able to cut anything that pisses me off into manageable, disposable pieces! I'll probably start on that friggin mig I haven't been able to get parts for.
