so what did you get done this weekend?

weather is a little better outside.
so what did you do in the shop this wekend?



i started on a truck bed.

 

made a start on my tunnel and firewall,

 

I fixed some bird strike damage on the grill insert on my car. Had to add a new piece so the damaged expanded metal had something to hold onto

 

I rebuilt my carb and then snapped my vacuum advance hard line. One step forward, two steps back.

 

Got most of the work done on my 47 Fords 59 Chevy dash installation.

 

Nothing. Had to take the airco tig to the welder repair shop-and I have a lot of welding to do. Did clean the garage though

 

got the 50 deluxe running like a top. . .and discovered a leaking master cylinder.

 

fixed the driverside quarter panel.

 

Nothing. Both kiddo's sick. Not much fun here.

 

Went from this:




To this:

 

Just about finished all the body work on the passenger's side body on my '34...and now fitting and chopping the passenger side door.

 

Dragged the truck out,gave the engine a run,sussed out a misfire,topped up the anti- freeze(a bit late...ooops!) and checked it over after recent cold spell.(unheated garage)
Block and freeze plugs OK....... Phew!

 

got my 1/4 panel down to metal, welded the trim holes generally got a lot done.

 

Finally started to take my engine out of my truck, to make room for something new and improved. I also supervised at HotRodGary's house while he chopped the top on his bug.

 

work on a hummer (sheet metal work) and work on a vega (race car) more sheet metal and work on my bead roller ..got a steering wheel on it now and turns free..

 

Kick ass dash! I have been looking for just the right one for my '46 this inspires me!!!

 

i went to the springfield ma autoparts swap and sell , nothing much there for what we build , but it was a good walk about hey uncle johnny thats a sharp looking truck you are working on ,

 

Drywall on my ceiling. It's a true friend who willingly helps you on a job like that.

 

installed my new starter, made templates for my windows, charged battery, Found leaky wheel cylinder.

 

New rear subrails and wheelwell patches...

 

Not much unfortunately, and fortunately i spent the weekend fighting a house fire in town. fortunately the owner wasn't hurt and none of our guys got hurt. There's always next week...

 

went to allentown, pa for an indoor car flea market. had a goood time

 

Ment unfortunately sorry.

 

patched another hole!!

 

Started the cowl steering in the A, got the cage in to support the box and started to make the brackets to hang the box.

 

I work on my frame and my engine.

 

Nothing, absolutely nothing. The Falcon is still in the field and the Galaxie is still in a million pieces. The rain kept me from doing anything. At this rate I will have half of one of these cars together by 2020.

 

Daughters basketball tournament ALL day Sat, and football on Sun. Dammit!!!!!

 

Dropped this DEUCE heavy for HAMBer Jalopy-Joe
