Projects ...And another 29 roadster on deuce rails project

Just found this thread. Killer! Frankly, I like to hear about all the life distractions that slow progress. I can relate.

 

Thanks for letting me tag along very impressive work. Your like the energizers bunny when it comes to getting things done. Congratulations you sir are livin the dream.

 

Eric, great job on your Dad's Modified, and what a wonderful new shop ! Best to you in the coming year.

 

It's getting to be more of a thing in this area. Instead of condo-garages (which is a great concept) there are several developer/contractors buying land, subdividing, and putting up steel buildings on stand-alone lot's. We moved to a small community of 600 people ....literally two bars and a church. They planned this one block long development (both sides) of shops to buffer a new residential neighborhood and a manufacturing facility. We live about 3 blocks away. Only downside is no water and sewer today.

 

You as well Marty, thank you. It s not a runner but I wanted to get it out and about while Jim (driver on the right) and my Dad ( builder ) are still healthy. We lost Ron the engine builder before I started the restoration.

 

I really want to get at that...I want to get the Roadster rolling first, then start some chassis / suspension work on it.

 

I had to decide early on if I wanted to be a lake cabin guy or a car guy... In my mind it's hard to both.

 

Finally..... getting back to things. Sub rails were pretty rough and needed to be reconstructed for the 32 frame. Made some new pieces and have the quarters fitted.

 

How's the roadster coming along? The sub rail kick up for the 32 rails looks great.

 

It's about how it looks there. I took 6 mos. to do a 72C10 step-side shortbox, kicked the Chevy II project off..... But I do want to get the metal work done by spring so I can get the sheet metal protected in epoxy. Trying to get all the heavy lifting done on my stuff while I am somewhat young

 

Yes, do it while you can, this old age sneaks up on you !

 

Pulled it away from the wall and blew the dust off and made some body mounts, and started fitting parts again. I want to this this body squared away!

 

About that Chevy II!

Roger that!

 

Still plugging away, literally…. Today was productive.
