no glass yet

Looks better with one color!

it is cold these days and my garage isn't insulated.
so i made a tent (tarp walls and ceiling )around the car and put an electric oil filled heater in there.
i decided to go with the mechanical lever brake light switch.
it will be here today and i will fab up something to make it work.
i think i have everything i need to finish up the wiring.

Ingenuity and perseverance will overcome something silly like a bit of cold weather!!!! Press on, Billy!!!!!!

I had my 48 and had stopped at Hobby Lobby. When I was getting back in the truck there was a little old lady, (80 to 90) with her daughter. I started it up, had glass packs in headers, and was still really loud. She was looking at me, grinning and made a motion with her hand, it either meant rev it up some more or burn them slicks. I still don't know but it tickled me. And I have had other elderly ladies make comments , take pics at stop light and make approving gestures. My grandson however wasn't too fond of the noise, at least when he was 1. He's 2 1/2 now and he seams to like it, but when it gets really noisy I think it still scares him if he's too close............................

Well if you think about it those little old ladies that are now 80 were in there late 20 or early 30 in the way back in the 50s & 60 when all this stuff was real popular. Now how old dose that make YOU feel

Or, maybe they're not smiling at you because of the truck!?!?!?! Maybe it's just YOU!

this wiring job is a breeze you guys.
1 no fenders ,running boards or anything else to get in the way
2 i have aready used this brand harness and turn signal switch when i wired the willys
3 i have a garage to do it in!

Good for you Billy.. Something has to go easy once in a while right??

a guy would think so....
or at least a boy can dream.....

it is so freakin cold around here.
that i decided to install a HEATERCRAFT 28000 BTU heater in this rod.
i have one in the willys and have been comfy at -30f.
i figured out a long time ago
i could have a solid gold rolls royce
but if i am freezin my butt off
i will hate driving it.

new carpet
i pulled the seats and shifter tower so i could cover the entire floor.
a bit of a PITA but i think it was worth it.
it looks lots better in person.
i am really happy with those boat seats so far.
i was worried they would aggravate my arthritic back.
but they don't.

it looks like i may have a couple of the ROADRUNNERS C.C. stopping by tomorrow.
to check out the weasel AKA 27 chevy rpu
(i still dunno what i am callin that car.)
bills lament?
love weasel?
... guided muscle?

dawn wants me to have what j.p. wrote on it long ago painted on it somewhere.
too long
low
loud
and fast!
