Technical What did you do today?

Went to the junkyard looking for a 62 galaxie with a 292 and automatic trans but they were all 3 speed manuals.

 

Working on making my ladder bars stronger but still retaining the old 60's look they have.

 

Worked on wiring my roadster. Yay!

 

Pulled the FE & C6 trans from a Ot 67 T bird. removed the center freeze plug. Removed trans theres balance weights on the flywheel & converter. Tomorrow I will remove converter and block plate and look for C scratch? pull intake and heads and see what the cyls look like.

 

Got the roof tin on the addition today. Now back building cars!

 

across the street from an Estate Sale an old axle caught my eye - but, as I got a better view there was no way that I was getting any closer

 

I put my newly reconfigured/modified old tensioner setup on the new blower and happy to say it all lined up perfectly, now onto the fuel system.

 

Got some storage rigged up in my shop! Total cost involved....$20!

I few years ago I bought a building that was the former office of The Ozark Acres Land company. Paid $841 for it and 4.7 acres. Still own it. It was packed full of papers. And much of it was in file cabinets. A couple are very heavy (fireproof) units. There are still several in the building. I did bring some home I should follow your example and use them for storage. I bet even the mud wasp couldn't get into them.

Monthly car guy breakfast yesterday (Saturday) morning. We had twelve this month which provided some great banter and conversation. I spent the rest of the day disassembling the nine inch in my 28' sedan for a freshen up and pumpkin swap. Finished up the day watching Ohio State/Wisconsin game . It was a good day.

 

Over here those old steel cabinets are big money .( multi $ 100s ) The hipsters love them for in their industrial style livingrooms, kitchens, crappers, fashion shops or anybloodywhere they can put them.

 

Yesterday I volunteered my Saturday morning at the Salvation Army helping sort out packages for their Angel Tree program. The company i work for has a "give back to the community" program so there was 20 or more co workers there. Then I drove to Ft Worth and checked out the Hot Rod Trinity car show. Saw this car and fell in love with it.

 

Finishing the walls of the garage with barn wood. Wife's idea. Actually looking good so far! But, thinking what I could be doing in the shop on a couple of hotrod projects. When momma's happy, everybody's happy. Just saying....

 

.....so why is it when pappa's happy he just wants to be left alone in the garage which is the same place he wants to be when he's pissed.....LOL.....just saying

 

I found these at a garage sale a few towns over, he wanted $5 apiece.....so having a Scottish heritage.....I offered him $20 for all five... he took it! My shop has never been so organized. I now have a place for things!

I picked up this card holder file cabinet a few years back, got lucky that the HF plastic bin organizers fit perfect.

 

Sometimes ya just get lucky.

 

Yesterday was spent under the '51 Ford re-installing the freshly rebuilt AOD then I got cleaned up and went to see Walter Trout in concert.
Today is going to be breakfast followed by watching football- Go Seahawks!

 

Walter Trout. Killer bluesman

Attended a car show at Southwest AirLines yesterday. Most all cars were non-Hamb friendly, but did do the walk through on the B-17 Sentimental Journal. Santa Claus arrived in the nose gunner seat.

 

Seattle bonzi run in the morning, scored a set of brand new Michelin tires ( off topic ride ) for 1/2 of the price new on Tire Rack's website... now just have to wait for my rims from the Father land !

 

Put some of the trim back on the Galaxie and replaced the heater core.

 

In my hoard I have the torque converter and flywheel from a 59 mercury that had a 312 engine. It was a green dot cruseomatic trans.

 

I couldn't sit and watch the Patriots game so I went out and put in a few hours on the '51. I got the trans. cross-member and drive-shaft installed, starter, etc. All that's left under the car is hooking up and adjusting the shifter and the kick-down cable. Then I can get back to the floor/tunnel debacle.

 

Bought more cars for my project. I probably need to quit doing that now.

 

Actually use these as well....along with some old donated refrigerators....little hard for them little rascals to get in in the winter...............

 

Tore down a virgin carburetor for it's first rebuild....you know how tight together it was.....with gaskets and all......

 

I don’t understand? What does refrigerators have to do with file cabinet storage of Hot Rod parts???
