Dave know how ya feel im in a second week of ill . Terrible flu goes to pnuemonia with me . Hope he lets me go back to work by at least monday .

Well, a bit of progress today.... Lots of cleaning and sanding in the engine compartment of the 'maro. Battery tray was junk so I cut out both sides and replaced them with new sheet metal and removed the mount for the idler arm, still have to weld a piece in that hole then a bit more sanding and get everything in primer.

On Tom's coupe, got the driver's side door jam repaired, smoothed, and filled. Took off some of the pieces around the windshield opening so I can get the channels cleaned out, blasted, and treated with POR 15. Should have the cowl in primer tomorrow, then some dingin' and pingin' on the cab corners....

I hope to see it soon pro, but nothing is downloading on my old cpu for some reason. Loads about half the page and then it's just sits there. No weather break at all here yet.

Makin' more progress Dave. Looks good. I won't be doin' too much the next couple days. My daughter is in the hospital as of tonight. By this time tomorrow I will most likely be a grandpa. Of course there will be pics.

Congrats Pro save the quarters they like the shiney coins when there young . When they get older they like the green one's .

Dave still see some Talla style there but a hint of 69 also at a angle to the front view. Front is looking good though . Still following the changes your making in it's design . That car is going to look good back on its wheels soon .

ConGrats Pro! Hope the best for your daughter and your new grandbaby! I don't need a cigar but some pics will be expected!

Well, it's a weekend again.... What's up with you guys??? Hope to get Tom's coupe a bit closer to primer.... Got the cowl ready, working on the back corners and the area around the trunk opening... Cars do seem to take a bit of a beating after 80 years!!!!

Also going to spend a bit of time on the front end sheetmetal for the 'maro...Starting to look like what I wanted now, just a lot more work to do to get it right.

What you guys got planned for the weekend, any shows or swap meets going on?????

Two weeks ago I had a complete '40 tudor sedan in the stall pictured below. As of last night the rolling chassis has been moved into it's place and as can be seen the only big part of the '40 that remains is the frame (waiting for a freight forwarder to spirit it off to the happy new owner in Hawaii). To be sure there are still numerous smaller parts of the car that need to find new homes, so I'll be photoing and prepping those to be advertised further. The better news is the rolling chassis now has it's own stall, mostly, and the hot rod account has an improved pile of Franklins.

Same Like Last Saturday . Not A Lot of extra cash . But I have some time to spare . So down in the basement I go . To finish Porting them 305 heads . See Ya

I sure do like the pics you have of that one.... Had me a '36 many moons back til some stranger waved enough dead presidents in my face to convince me he liked it more then I did.... It was probably the best riding long distance cruizer I ever had!!!!! Anxious to see yours start going together, been looking at it in the gallery for a long time!!!!

Just got back from the second day of Bike Week in Datona, was going to try out a Yamaha FJR motorcycle but the sign-up sheet was full for the day. Oh well I'll just have to drive one when I get home............ well some time this spring anyway. Called my son and he said the snow was shoulder high on the sides of my driveway.
Last weekend I went to a Antique tractor show and got some nice pictures of lots of Old stuff including a Cushman motor scooter, photo attached. I had one in 1961 but mine was blue and a one speed..... slow.
Tomorrow I'll be going back to the Car Show/Swap Meet at Webster FL, and then Monday I'll be starting home. If I have time tomorrow night I'll post some pictures from the show.
Sounds like Dave will have to work constantly to get the coupe done for me to pick it up a week from tomorrow.
Also tomorrow night will be the last time I'll be on here until I get home. I'm really looking forward to seeing my coupe.
