    I getting started building a new steel front floorboard and trans hump for my 40 cpe that will be compatible with the old hemi and new 5 spd trans. Got some steel today and am "injuneering" at present! Maybe this... what about that? Then just dive in and see where it goes. You've all been there and so have I. Just another opportunity. Al

    I'm restoring this 53 F100 for a customer. It's an old farm truck that has been in a barn since the early 80's. Original owners and only 37,000 miles.

    When time permits I'm slowly making progress on my homebuilt roadster, I hope to have it on the road this summer.

    It's snowing right now with 8 to 12 inches predicted by morning, this is a crazy winter. God bless the heated shop.

    More lovely snow this morning...Guess I'll get cracking on the novel while my kid rides his Big Wheel around all the hallways of this place. Later I'll go rip the distributer cap out of the sno-cat.

    with the weather lately I've been trying to get a working heater in my garage. It's hard to hold a steady bead when it's 8 degrees in the shop! hands shaking enough to spill my beer!

    Slowly piecing my dash back together now that the car is back from paint. Little things I can do in short time in my garage with no lights or heat... Hard to feel what you are doing with numb hands. I am thinking a generator is in the cards for the next week at least then there is light, and the torpedo heater can be run.

    Working on the inside of the garage. We added a 4' X 4' work bench section to our work bench...new bench stock bins and replacing all the old light fixtures with the new T80 bright bulbs. We were not paying attention to the weather last night until around 7 PM. Looked outside and 8 inches of new snow had fallen............pain in the ass............many hours to get home
