    There is something to be said about having the right tools.

    Nice work!

    Surely you have something cool to post by now.

    Tonight at supper Dan asked me if Ken has posted any updates lately and I had to say no. You haven't taken up fishing or some other hobby, have you Ken?

    No, no other hobby just really busy at work. I have got more done but when I get home I'm beat and probably just lazy. With the economy squeezing small business we have to work a lot harder. I will try to post what's been done.
    Also I've had a couple of bumps with my red roadster. Last year I made a cam change and got some bad info on my distributor gear, and after 2,000 miles it ate it ever so slowly and long story short the cam went flat. I pulled it out and went threw it. I put it in today and hope to fire it tomorrow. I hope to take it to the Roadster Round up the 10th of this month in Pismo Beach. So their it is in a nut shell. Thank you for asking, now you probably wish you hadn't

    Good to hear your still with us Ken! Nice thing about having a few hot rods, is there is always a backup ride! Also doesn't hurt to own a trailer company! Post some pics when you get some time, Steve.

    Thanks for the interest in my project.
    I finished the rear cross member, shock mounts, and sway bar. things didn't look quit right on the chop so I took another 3/8" out of the A and B pillars, now I think it looks right.
    I have been working on the sub frame for the body, I want the car real rigid. I'm using 1"x2"x.O83 around the door frame then a piece of 1/4"x6" flat bar from the B pillar back to the rear. I just cut a template out of thick template paper then trace it on the flat bar. cut it out on a band saw, and use a rose bud tip on mu torch to get it hot to form it to the frame. Then put in some threaded bungs for the body bolts.
