What did you do this weekend?

I finished my battery cutoff. Went to a local Sonic cruise in thing. Got to talking with a local fellow about my blower plans and he ends up giving me a pair of rotors!

Went out to the Great Bend dragstrip Saturday and met Chicken (bad yellow Cad powered T) and his brother Larry out there. It was a grudge match/ test and tune sort of deal. I only made 22 passes. The best was a 13.43 @ 101.69. Weather was great to boot.

I did forget my helmet and had to borrow one from Chicken. He assures me it was good for at least a tenth. ;-)

 

saturday was outta hand went to guitar center and jammed, then got hammered and bought all kinds of junk at the porn shop. sunday good ol hang over and wondering where all my money went. word of advice dont try and get drunk off of wine it kills u the next day.

 

I learned "Cry, Cry, Cry", by Johnny Cash, on my grunt call.

worked my ass off at the car show. I should quit that club and join the Nimrods.

 

I tore the pick up apart and but a sedan body on the chassis.
And built a axle display stand.
Didn't even drink a single beer.

 

Worked on the original Hy-Timer digger and the A coupe.

 

Friday: replaced wires, points, rotor , cap, installed fuel pressure regulator and gauge.

Saturday: built and installed exhaust system, installed seat cover, and some shitty pinstriping, I need to practice some more before I go anywhere near my car.

Saturday night, and Sunday: drove around and wasted gas, then some honeydo projects around the house.

 

I'll have somebody post pictures for me. My car now has shiny no orange peel black painted dash and gauges in. Oh yeah, last weekend was motor trans, etc. Pretty good couple of weeks. I gotta fix my computer this really sucks not being able to post photo's

Just got back from a camping trip with friends in Arkansas and hauled home some rusted 2 wheel metal to fill my garage. Added 2 more Triumphs and a BSA to the stable. This makes 6 British bikes, with all but one being basket cases. Early plans are to rebuild the '69 Trophy 250 and ride it. Gonna leave the est. 20 years of weathering as-is.

 

I was at the Pileup saterday. Today I went to wal-mart and hit on teh cute chick there I know, then went grocery shopping.

 

Failed miserably at firing up my engine.

 

Had a blast in a small town overrun with greazy bastids.

and I have the shirt to prove it.

 

Started welding the braces in my sedan body.

 

I finished up Rusty he's my 8 foot wing spanned yard art maybe some pics of him and some others I have Made next week. Next weekend he goes in the backyard to ward off the demons of sloth and laziness.

 

vanquished the demons of sloth and laizness by taking the three bicycle frames I had gathered from around the neighborhood, cut,weld, fit and I have a working bicycle... with air in the tires I should have a 1/4" of pedal clearance... It's been something I'd been thinking about doing ever since I dragged my old stingray home from my dads house. Pics tomorrow

 

Painted the wheels for my Coupe.............getting the tires mounted tomorrow.

 

Rockabilly Rod Reunion. Got wet. Dried out. Had a great day!

 

fired my real estate agent.... went to RRR for a bit and hung out with my family....all in all good...21tatt sorry i didnt say hi. i talked to austin for few though.

 

stripped some paint off the ol 35 wires

 

Chopped a 54 Plymouth. with 6 other guys, put in about 30 hours myself.

 

washed the wood inside and out, had to get old rat shit out of it.

Finally put steel wheels and dog dish hubcaps on the Mercury. While the wheels were off I bought a new grease gun and greased all the fittings, cleaned the front and rear brakes, sold the old wheels and tires for $200. A pretty good weekend! Time to get started on the Vicky's engine and tranny project....

as promised, hacked this thing together... just have to move the pedals forward and I'll be on the go

 

Got the Jeep straight 6 and auto home. Found out my Flathead (blowed up) is a 276 inch thumper. Got my spring perches welded to the radius rods by a more qualified dude than me (Thanks Terry!).

 

My ten minute project involves a lathe and ruining a set of caddy cap emblems - I did learn first hand that if you leave the chuck in the lathe and hit the switch it will throw the chuck half way across a shop.

Otherwise we stood around in the shop scratching our heads at how much ambition one of us
