i will be test fitting the engine/tranny on the 51 over the holiday

 

Got to finish.............of course!

 

Going to install some frenching buckets for the poncho tail lights on the 52 F1 Happy thanksgiving everyone!

 

Fire up the heater in the garage and change 4 ball joints then hit the alignment shop Saturday.

 

finishin the chop on the 53 on friday, then bolt the front clip up right so I can get inner rockers made and put in on sat.

 

Getting out in the garage beats sitting on your ass after eating! I invited one of my good friends and his wife over for dinner.(He just happens to be a skilled fabricator). I'm getting the rear end set up in the '32, he's offered to help,our wives are planning to drink wine.

 

Well, I've always figured that the grease under the fingernails improves the taste when I make the stuffing

 

I lowered the convert some more, next is to change the master cylinder out for a corvette PN. Rolling around on the cold floor has me looking at lifts!

 

Hopefully pulling a bunch "OUS" (old used schtuff) parts off this for mine...

 

me too gotta finish up redoin my front shocks theeeeeen weeel be eatin rib eyes an drinkin beer happy turkey day hambers

 

I have been all day, first time home from college since august.

 

got the notch pates cut for the front axel flip in my f100 hope to get them welded in and start the 302 install but there will be some family,bird,beer and lions in there to ...cool thread

 

Always working on cars!

 

if all goes as planned I'll be frenching in the passenger headlight on the Chevy.Today I give thanks to the guy who gave me a set of 50 Ford tail lights for free!!!

 

After I finish the venison, mashed potatoes, and other fixins... I'll be out in the garage turning wrenches. The disc brake kit needs to go on the front end, and I need to assemble the rear axles. I wish my bearings were here, so I could start knocking the motor together. Sigh. It'll just be great to have 4 days unfettered to get on it!

 

Thursday gonna eat and lounge. Friday gotta hang some outside lights for the wife, fast as I can. Then maybe head over to the car show at the stock show complex for the afternoon and evening. Then the rest of the weekend is mine, and I will prolly work on a 35 chevy 3 window for a customer...John

 

not this year ..have to split my time between my family and my girls family...no time ...

 

As always, I will work on car thurs morning, try to figure out motor mounts and then fit headers if I get that far.
Sat/sun. is the anual trip to the Indy swap meet at the fairgrounds, Flea market also in other buildings all weekend thats why we go up a day early and to eat Pizza at Union jacks and have a few cups of Jimmy Beam ; ) sat night

 

to heck with working on it, I am driving my junk over Thanksgiving.

 

Puting new shocks in my Fury, should be a 15 min easy job. Then fixing the wipers in a '67 Vee Dub. Then im eating the turkey, then im getting drunk, then im passing out. Thats my plan all weekend, little bit of work, lot of slacking.

 

Just repaired the gun on my welder tonight so I can get back to replacing floor pan pieces on the '57 this weekend.
The wife's daughter is here for a few days so time in the garage is sounding even better than normal.

Hell yeah!!!! I will be thrashing on my Model A

 

I am cooking a ham, simmering dau bap and tomatoes together and nuking some yellow squash.

Just came in from the garage....its 2:30 am Turkey Day. I might get 4 hours of sleep before my kids get up. Will be back out there tonight as well.

 

We are having smoked Turkeys. mmmmmmmmmmmm

Good ol Thanksgiving, The time of year when my Uncles show up to tell me where all the cool untouched original cars are, for 300 to 400 bucks.... How the drag racing was in the 60's, and about the Cuda they had that would pull the front wheels on the street. All bull feces. Not a word of it is true. Same crap every year.

See, Im the only car guy in my family, and my family thinks this is what I want to hear.. I love'm..but..Its amazing the stories I will be hearing today. Like every Thanksgiving, I will be glad when its over, so I can have some time alone with my pickup. Still jacking with the headers.
