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

Had a damn good time at the Jack's Lowrodders car show. That is all I can remember.

I reinvented the wheel. I wanted the convenience of power windows with the look of original rollups. I made little gizmos out of 3 body washers and some steel rod that will activate the car's standard window switch by moving the widow crank handle up or down. The switch is hidden inside the door. I know, I know these are commercially available made from billet for $100 each. I just cringed when I thought about paying that for something that might look a little nicer but would be hidden inside the door and so never seen. I built in stops too so even a linebacker would have a very hard time forcing the handle.

 

I realized that, after much denial, I blew the head gasket on the Y-block in my '56

On the bright side, I did it (I think)while racing an Audi.
We were on the way to Superdawg. This hotshot in an Audi pulls up next to me at a light. I knew there was a huge pothole in his lane & I knew he would try to race me. (After all, I have almost a 50 year-old motor in there. Besides, I had my buddy Pauly from Ireland in there. I had to make a good impression of Americans!
Anyway, the light turned green, I went first without a chirp. He went. I held him off until I knew he smacked the hole.
Mr & Mrs Oilcan said the sparks were pretty!

 

Worked on my ba*****t retro livingroom and diner. I just found out that we're having my wife's family over for Christmas this year. That's her Mom, brothers and sisters (8), their kids and spouses and/or girl/boyfriends and their kids. Approx. 50 people. I need help!!
I haven't even seen the inside of my garage in days.

Nice Paso posters. I've got 3 hanging in my garage. I wish my garage looked as good as yours.
Only thing I did was to just drive the car around on Sunday. But I think a 60 - 70 year old lady was trying to hit on me. She wouldn't leave me alone. Kept honking and waving, smiling. If I wasn't married, I might have tried and get some.(kidding).

 

Had to bring this back up,Nads and Germ were the best back then,also funny to read some of you other guys ****.Tucks talking about his phone calls like the ol ladys do in the small town daily papers.

 

I found out I have a FMX trans behind my 289 for my rpu. This was after I bought a Lokar C4 shifter a year ago, I'll bet they won't take it back and exchange for the FMX version. But I did get my starter stripped and painted, same with my headlights. I also welded the end flange for my gl***packs on one of my headers and got it painted. Progress is progress.

 

Built really cool off topic ****
So it cant be shown or talked about

 

I drove the hell out of my 49!

 

Wow this hasn't seen action for a while, so.
I cleaned the shop a bit and started on a 9" centre for the son of an old friend.
