We got a little done this weekend. Dan worked on his rpu while I was doing some long needed modifications to our sandblast cabinet. It was getting to the point I hated to use it, a cloud of dust...

Yep Ken, you two would be a pair alright. I would love to stand on the sidelines and dumpster dive at the end of each day. :LOL:

Richard, that is probably true about Henry......very shrewd guy....

It's NOT PINK!! It just photographs that way. :LOL: Yeah, I guess any color would be ok. Henry Ford had the right idea about one color, guess he couldn't make up his mind either. :)

My own rpu...

Thanks Steve. Color depends on what day of the week it is. :LOL: Some days he thinks dark blue, some days red, some days cream, etc. Like most of us, he won't know until he walks into the paint...

Oh, here is a picture of the tank and stuff he got mounted for the fuel system.

Don

Thanks Josh. Yep, he's getting closer, all he has now is bodywork and paint, some upholstery, wiring, and that kind of stuff. We have 4 months till Daytona, so we are keeping our fingers crossed....

Thanks guys. Hopefully, no leaks.:D Brian, you know how it goes, you do lots of things but nothing worth posting. We've been doing those little things like fuel and brake lines that aren't worth...

Brad, haven't had much real stuff to post about, but this past weekend we got a lot done. The body hasn't been back on the frame since we had it powdercoated, so we needed to do that to make sure...

So, I guess "PINKS" is out? :LOL::LOL: Yep, I think you are right. Good thing Dan has a light right foot.:rolleyes::p

Don

Thanks Guys. Yep Ken, I haven't seen Dan that wired for a while. Don and I are just so happy for him to get over this hurdle. All the serious fabrication and grinding are done, the car runs, so now...

Thanks guys. Yes. it has been a long road for him on this one, and I am so happy to see him at this stage. We stopped on the way to the shop last night and bought a 6 pack for the anticipated...

I have one very happy Son right now................we got his hot rod running last night !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D It took us about 7 hours of hooking up stuff, and of course Dan had to build a...

Got quite a bit done last night, like running the plug wires (that took a while as we had to figure a way to make them as neat as possible and still use straight boots on the plug end. Olds plugs sit...

Brian, as a matter of fact we are on our way out the door right now, heading to the shop. We've been doing all those little things that need done to fire up an engine for the first time, and last...

That's actually the plan Bob. He is hoping Skratch is at Daytona again this year so he can get some pinstriping done. After Don and I had him do our cars last year Dan isn't about to let us outdo...

Jim: I'll have to check out Franklin to see where they are, thanks for the tip. Dan found the perfect contrasting color for his rod, it's called chrome and polished stainless! :D He has kicked...

Thanks guys. Steve, it's 1950 Chrysler black. It really is the blackest I have seen. The guy at the paint store said it has very little blue or other colors in it. I always thought black was black,...

Thank you. Yeah, he has Wilson Welding '39 Lincoln front backing plates but the Buick drums need slightly machined to clear them. Believe it or not, we can't find a shop in the entire Ft Myers area...

Thanks Ken. Once again everyone, SORRY ABOUT THE BIG PICTURES! :o:o One of these days I'll actually learn how to work this computer thingie. :o:o

Don

Thanks guys. Since it isn't my car and my work, I guess it's ok to say I like it a lot too. :) I'm just so happy to see the car getting to this stage, it's been four long, hard years for Dan, and...

Missed one..........

A couple more, Dan took these and they are a lot sharper and smaller. :o

Don

Got the car pushed outside today and took these shots. We were hoping to fire it up this weekend, but have decided to slow down and take things easy so we don't miss anything and cause any problems....

I thought it was strange on that one episode of Drag Race High where they showed them painting the Chevelle in the booth. The pros who were painting the car had on respirators and the kids who were...

I wore shorts and sunglasses........does that count? :eek::)
