    Sold my blue '30 roadster. Built 4 frames for my friends. Worked on my wifes friends Volks project, chopped, dropped and flaked, (taking like forever!). Now that I'm almost caught up with my house work, new guest bath and laundry room, I,m getting a chassis finished for my yellow, suicide style '29. My '32 project is on hold, only because I have a better shot of finishing the '29 for summer, and I 'm really taking my time on the deuce. Kind of a "Full House" knockoff, with a great deal of help from Jimbo.

    I'm a residential builder so I had plenty of time this winter!

  10. Played a lot with my 3 year old and did lots of the tiny unglamorous things that make up a car.

    just a little bit. Built two motors for the car, blew one up, painted it, new rear end, and drove the shit outta it when i could.

    I also chopped and channeled my sedan, sold it, built my flathead motor, bought a 47 plymouth, rebuilt the entire brake system, swapped motors, and now im just patching rust.

    All in the last couple weeks

    Hi I have been going gangbusters on my deuce,I am shooting for another 6 weeks. PS I hope I painted it yesterday Saturday March 20 Dupont base with spies hecker topcoat. Came out great, loved the topcoat layed out with really minimal orange peel. Still have to paint fenders and running boards. I am happy but am getting worn out, because as most of you know building a car takes a lot of hours. SSPX0204.jpg

    Despite a long winter; engine supports are cut off the frame, new ones welded on,doors removed and repaired. Now the body is off and the rear center section is out. Waiting for nice weather to do some outdoor sandblaxting on the frame of my 33 Chevy 5 window. Also been rounding up some parts with mediocre luck.
