been a long few months. got stuck on a project at work that had me working from 3am to 10pm almost every day.

kid entered high school and joined the Jazz Band, Symphony Band, and Marching Band so band dad has been working weekends at Band Shows and helping to build props for the performances. And since I'm the only parent with a commercial drivers license I got recruited to drive the rig they use to bring all the props and large instruments (keyboards, timpani, congas, marimba, vibraphone, and chimes). Our school is a large 140+ person band so lots of kids and equipment.


Anyway my daily driver got rear ended and I had to decide whether it was more cost effective to repair the '39 and get it running, or pay for a rental car for 5 weeks.

The '39 won out, I ended up fixing everything I needed to get it street safe and legal, and have been driving it daily for the past 2 weeks, fixing little issues I find here and there. Found a great deal on some interior parts from a '37 and made them work for now, just so the car was functional.


big difference driving an 80 year old carbureted vs. a 2018 with soft suspension, semi-automatous drive systems and a twin turbo V6, the '39 is rattling all my filling free LOL.


anyway, now that '39 is up and running again I will likely be around more. Guess the accident was the kick in the pants I needed to get it street worthy.
