It takes another Veteran to know where you are coming from... And truly understand how it feels.

Got the old hot Water six out of my 53 Ford and building a roll around stand for the damn thing so that I can get it out of the way. Any one need one of these six's give me a shout will be glad to see it go to a good home. FREE too by the way...

 

Put some new studs into a couple of 34 Roadster top wing nuts. From NF to NC The fancy chrome one is a repro. The builder likes the patina ones.

 

Finished unearthing this from it's grave. I may actually collect parts and try to build it. I love odd rods. I believe it to be a 22 Dodge.

 

Finally tore down the 409 today. Been in storage since the early 80s. Was bought as a crate motor in 62 and installed in a 60 Biscayne. All date matching , appears to have never been apart , standard GM bearings etc. Even had the dual steel shim head gaskets in place. Factory Hi Po heads and all. Very pristine engine ,still had cross hatch in the bores . Good day in my book

 

I need a rolling welding table so I can move the welding process outside when needed. The last couple days I build one and tomorrow starts the painting process. When complete I will post a couple photos of the process. I an tooling up to start my 40 build but need to make sure all the tooling is ready first. There will be a couple more before I bring the frame in to start the rolling chassis build.

 

I put disc brakes on my 40 Chevy and the reupholstered front seat in my OT Polara.

 

Cut-and-pasted a rear seat base, to clear a taller, wider driveshaft tunnel, without disturbing the plane of the seating surface, although I wouldn't try sitting in the middle.

 

Yesterday I removed the valve covers of the 27 Phaeton and masked them and put 2 coats of primer. Took forever to mask.

Woke up my '59 Ford early this morning to go out and get a new battery for my 2012 Malibu that took a dump last night.

 

I just mask the sides, prime everything, use a medium stiffness block sanding block wrapped in a rag with a little thinner and wipe one direction until the primer is clear of the fin tips. Repeat after you apply the topcoat.

Broke in a 403 olds on the run stand, And Took my daily driver 56 PU to a local park for a photographer to shoot Christmas card Pics . Had a blast watching the kids jump around in the bed and stand on the stepsides getting their pictures taken, the photographer set up sleds and a small Christmas tree in the back with presents. Good day in my book. By the way, not my kids ,think she must have shot 30 different families .Fun to watch all the youngsters enjoy the truck.
