What Did You Get Done This Weekend Thread!~!!

ok, its a bit early, but I got my weekend project done already.

I was tired of looking at my rusty old mower, and the thing runs way to well to buy a new one. So, I got the spray paint out.





its my first time to lay out and paint flames, so I didn't think they turned out all to bad for a first timer. and its really not bad comsidering I got under $20 in the whole paint job.


What did you get done this weekend?

 

OH, I forgot to mention. I mowed the yard with it this morning, and I cut my mowing time in HALF

 

Sanded the frame for the roadster and crashed my Harley..Great day im still alive. Enuff bout me your mower is *****en

This is how we roll up here in Michigan.............this puppy burns through the snow.

 

Finally I can post on this thread. I spent the weekend restoring my old Philco fridge. Got it completely dis***embled, sandblasted, and fixed all the rust holes on the bottom 6 inches. I'm knocking out a couple of dents, and doing some Bondo work during the Nascar race today, and hopefully getting it primed and ready for paint this afternoon. I'll post some pics when I get it back together.

 

Damn jusjunk how did you lay it down? What happend? you ok?

 

damp or wet road slippery on ramp.. Ya other than im all road rashed on my right side and ive got a hole in my ****ing elbow im good to go I thinking there was oil or desiel on the ramp. It was quick. My wife was on the back she is bruised but she just put her leather on 10 minutes before and i didnt.

Headed to Billetproof saturday, between the sunburn, the cars, the friends, the beer, and the rain, it was a great time, probably the best one yet. Today it has been raining all day, so not much going today.


BTW- glad you and your wife are fine jusjunk

 

went to the swap meet in boerne texas , and got yelled at by the space nazi ? that was running around a empty swap meet ******* every one off ? I will never go back to that one! it get`s smaller every year I wonder why .... cool lawn mower ! but I dought it cut your wifes time in half ?>

 

Finished hanging the rear fenders on the Bantam after deciding they looked straight, adjusted the rear end position 3/8" to the right, and welded the door frames to their hinge mounts. I also removed the headers for a quick sandblast and new paint.

Got my engine back in the roadster. Fired her up about noon today. My pants got so tight, I had to take a cold shower.

 

yesterday went yard sale'n with the old lady
sagged this electric hoist and nifty dwell meter
hoist growls a bit, hopefuly it only needs brushes
haven't tried the meter yet..

today went through the Ford tailed Lasalle, looks good inside, only needed a couple small parts..
and put together another '50 style long tail with the last of the good parts from the pile...

 

Good score on the hoist, Paul . Hope it makes life easyer for you. Jack.

 

Made this. Its a brake and clutch distribution block.

 

Got the Edsel to fire up for the first time in 30 years.

It was pretty cool seeing my Dad and my son working together with steel wool and chrome polish.

I got a mouthful of really nasty 30 year old gas too. It's a lot more bitter tasting than fresh gas.

The fuel line is hopelessly plugged- it wouldn't clear with 100 psi of air in it. Any suggestions?

 

Got a buddy whose late model truck has been at my house for what he thought was gonna be a 'simple' engine swap. Here six weeks later, we finally got the motor/trans back in it. Should have it running and outta my way next weekend. This guy didn't have a clue about swapping engines so I ended up teaching him as we went and I'm a novice on a good day. I was suppose to be helping him and I'm the one doing most of the work, both physically and on the phone tracking down parts.

Anyway, I did get my new skinny front tires mounted and the new tires on my newly painted rims and hung on the coupe. New rubber from Cody is due next week and the rear rims are patiently waiting... She'll be driveable at that point! Look out!

t-town, you mower is *****in... just needs a pinstriped outline to finish it off.

Finished cleaning/sealing my tank(in the pouring rain), finished mounting/wiring my temporary guages, welded/finished/primed my tank straps and drank a few beers ...Tank done curing tomorrow...should be on the road

 

Walked around the forms for the slab on my new shop. Man I hope it quits raining next week so we can pour!

 

Bought this...










Schiada RC, twin turboed, nitrous injected 511 inch v-drive...

Around 1300 HP on the bottle, 1000 without. Sorry it isn't to trad but it sure hauls ***...

 

I got the second compressor on my truck (man tank refill times sure are short now! DIG IT!) and got half thecab sealed and dynamatted (not the dyna, but a knockoff thats way cheaper and functions the same...)

 

Vance, thats next on my to do list. Was my first time to lay or paint flames, and I figure if they are that easy, I sure should be able to stripe them.

 

Went to the NMCA Nationals in columbus Ohio and the local dirt races that evening and have a huge sun burn to prove it lol,

 

The stone wall reached the 6 foot level, but I ran out of sand so the cement mixing came to a stop. Nice to finally block out the nextdoor yuppies lamp post lights tha stay on all night long. If you look close on the left you'll see the back half of a '32 frame.

 

longboard sanded the 41 caddy,,,,,,sanded,,,,,sanded,,,,,sanded,,,,,sanded,,ate lunch,,,,sanded,,,,sanded,,,

 

Burbanite, Sorry I missed your intro, welcome to the HAMB, and Fairfield County, were only 20 minutes apart...............and I don't have a boat.

 

Got burnt and burnt some rubber.

I hesitated too much though.

 

I got my tach wired in. Only 11 more wires to go and the dash is wired
