set up a student with a great job opportunity today
visited a former student that is now a Benz certified tech (he was prepping a viper for a supercharger
yesterday I interviewed with a major auto manufacturer about a teaching position.
and going to pick up a 62 chevy truck today(hopefully)

 

Anthony - best wishes for the job prospect, your current students will miss you I'm sure.

 

Not saying I’m leaving. But when a manufacturer, especially this one, asks you for an interview you have to do it
I’m not looking for a job but sometimes a self evaluation like this is healthy

 

Added aluminum strips to floor and a banjo steering wheel to the 31 A delivery.

 

Went out and bought a new car...

 

^ Sorry^.

 

Got the interior all in and seats, harnesses , shifter, Pics coming soon.

 

Mikey, where are you gonna run this summer? Gotta get mine ready to go to the track. Looking at Mason Dixon Raceway.

 

What did you do today?

I did the happy dance when UPS finally showed up with the back ordered parts that have been holding up progress! HRP

 

Dropped my last parts off at the painter's shop on my '32 5 window project. All I have left here is chrome, stainless, aluminum and the main body. He has everything that gets paint.
SPark

 

I hobbled out to the garage and worked a little more on the Buick brake and drum on small bearing 9" swap. Seems to fit together OK, next step is to get a centering ring for the drum to axle turned out. Hope my VA doc says my new knee is good enough to drive on pretty soon; never realized how much running around I do, 'till I couldn't.

 

Got a great deal from a great friend .

 

PS slave cylinder on my '56 had a very slight leak at the seal and it was bugging me. Removed it last week and found the seals were not stock. Tried some from ABS ( guys advertise in Drive) and it was worse. Got out again waiting for some others I've found. Once up on the jack stands it takes me about 15 minutes to get it off.

 

Fitted grill and hood , almost ready for first ride.

 

Yeah..... It's not an old classic...... When I said "new", I meant it! Does CS/GT ring a bell????? ......

 

Well it's cool and fast with a horsie emblem.

 

You said it!....
460hp with a 6-speed manual and 3.55s out back....

 

Hang onto it long enough and It'll be old one day.
Believe me. 12 years ago this month, the Queen and I bought a new SRT8 Dodge. This morning, I'm installing a new water pump on it. 225,000 miles. Faster than any documented musclecar from the day, but it lacks the soul of a hot rod. Shop full of my toys, I can't gripe when she wants something cool for herself. Next month or two, I'll sell it and start the whole purchase/depreciation process all over. Ugh..
F Type this time.

 

Any photos of that 58-59 panel ?

 

Door panels are on and interior is done for now,still need to get a firewall insulation pad and install the heater but that will be another winters project. Its starting to warm up and I am ready to drive it.

 

It was finally warm enough to work in the garage with the doors open...

 

Did you just sweep. My garage is full of leaves.

 

made a rack to put the guns up so's I don't have to trip over them when I open the cabinet door, now maybe this is the last time I will use em .......I hope

 

These are when i bought it , the plan was repaint and steel wheels and just drive.
After removing some paint i found a ton of bondo in the lower area so this wil be a my next project after the roadster

 

Steve. It has been very slow at my job, now have limited income. I would like to go to beaver of course , Mason is a fun track. I am trying to get the car ready for Drag Week as well. Will be going to some shows as well. Here are some pics of the cage and inside of the little Model A. Not as cramped as it looks, I am fairly comfy in there, LOL.
