Sweet! So will it be a quick lap around the block, or a slow cruise to make it last? Ya know your going to keep going and not just do the block don't ya? :D:LOL: How cool is that! Congrats on a top quality job well done. http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g2...SCRAM/punk.gif when do you supposed to get your seat back anyway?

Here’s what’s going on in AZ.

Cruisin' Arizona Car Shows and Arizona Automotive Event Listing

I’ll probably take the 57 into town (Sierra Vista) to the Kars for Kids, park in the parking lot and go BS with a few friends.

In the afternoon I’ll probably fire up the little 283 and do a bit more fine tuning.

nascar race at Joliet, Ill

I have to work on a dodge ram tomorrow and hope it dries out enough to wack some weeds down and move some hay. I'd like to do some more work on the frame for my 40 but we shall see.

it's Saturday,dudes.. Gunna head into my own little shop soon,,and prepare some of the last parts on the roadster mold,for the tooling gelcoat,,and get the first two layers of glass on.. Running out of time with this one..Need the mold finished,and at least one body out of it by mid January..Yup,,sounds a while off,,but the mold has to be braced,framed,and hung on a rotisserie as well..

Good luck Lamin8r!

Working.....DDSS

I can understand working extra on double D's but double S's:eek:

Different Day, Same S_ _T.... stuff...

I gotta mow the grass here and the M-I-L's.. last time for the season I think.. getting cold at night now. I need to figure out why my fans won't come on with the thermostatic switch.. then I can finally go for a ride.

Mike, I thought you were supposed to go to the Mud Wrestling tonight.

That is the million dollar question. I'm not too worried about it. I have to paint the bed, front windshield frame, and dash still. I'm trying to get 99% of the simple lingering things done this weekend so I can bust my ass getting those last few parts painted.

Got the bus home from New Plymouth Friday.
The higher diff ratio (3.42) makes it a far better cruiser.
Spent the day (hey, it's Saturday already here!) doing a whole host of mundane jobs on it.
Changed the rear riding light lenses from orange to red, (the new lenses didn't quite fit, so spent some considerable time lathing them down with an emery board,) spent three hours scraping the paper delivery stickers off the inside of the windows . . . several were behind partitions or the bench splash-back . . . just about impossible to reach.
But with patience, a new long blade in the box-cutter, needle-nose pliers and tweezers I got there . . . also a magnet on a piece of string for when I inadvertently dropped the box-cutter. . . .
Got She Who Must Be Obeyed to give me a hand to shift the ceiling panel to a place of safety.

Also spent a lot of time sitting, looking, and thinking.

All good.

ANother milestone! That's great news!

:LOL::LOL::LOL:

Yesterday NSRA Nats in Kalamazoo. today Changing clutch on plow truck.

jb, that reminded me of an old colloquialism from the Missouri Ozarks of my youth, when an old timer was asked if he'd been sittin' on the porch all afternoon,

Quote:

---

Ah-yep, been sittin'. Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits. ;):3dSMILE:

That sittin' time is some of the most important time on the project, when one just sits & looks at the beast, and lets the mind sift through the options and alternatives. Besides, you've got a couple of years of "sittin' & lookin'" in backlog on that bus, for sure! It must be a great joy to actually have it in the shed where you can wander out and mess with it at your pace, and drive it up and down the road as you please! I'm happy for you both! As you say, it's all good!

This past year around here the car count has been down. Money has a lot to do with it. I'm looking forward to the Pumpkin Run Oct 4th. Big swap meet, may find some stuff for my 51 Dodge. We had the Cynthiana rod run, here in Ky, a few weeks ago, last yr there were 1400 cars, this yr I'd say 800 was tops. Hope next yr is better, maybe some things will finally pick up around here. Enjoy what we got left, good ole winter is almost here.

I was able to get something done for a change this weekend. Moved and dug up some rock in my parent's driveway which was all pott holed out, unloaded my trailer of round bales, fed one and stored the others, got this dang white dodge done, gave the kids a ride on the tractor, put the COE back in it's nesting hole, drug out my Mom's 68 Mustang and put the wheels and tires from my 40 on it, and tried to stay focused on not working on any other projects for the week besides the 40. :LOL:
