Projects What did you get done this weekend?

Started out slow fixed some plumbing problems for the wife, mowed the lawn, then went out to garage. finshed my floors and built a frame for the seat. I only spilled one beer.
What did you do?

 

Color sanded my cab and buffed it to make it look like old lacquer. then went for a cruse and blew a upper radiator hose, good thing I had a gallon of water and some tools. Back on the road and went looking for a car wash.

 

Got about 5% of my dash engine turned, 1/4" at a time DOH! Fighting a nasty cold.

 

We drove the hell out of our new Willys Jeep!

Recently got my pair of replacement bumpers for my '57 Chrysler in favor of the painted ones on it now.
Decided to polish them up today. What a joy!
2 bumpers, but 4 pieces, so in effect I had to do 4 bumpers.
Good old elbow grease I guess...

 

All most have the new top wood finished . All that is left is the last 2 pieces in the rear .

Worked on the racecar this weekend. Last weekend I lost the transbrake so after replacing the solenoid I replaced the wires from the roll control to transbrake, rewired from the starter solenoid (the old wiring was a mess with "scotch locks, and butt joints, and different wire colors in the same run), ran a new 1 gauge ground and installed my updated 5 point harness and window net. The office wiring before was in this hidous "convoluted" tubing...........I hate convoluted tubing! Not sure if I will wrap the wiring or not...............?
I'm now ready to go turn some low 10's!

 

Ran 80 feet of #10 Romex for the new compressor. Got the compressor for Christmas. About time I got off my ass. One more run to the big box store and it should be ready to go.

Let's see. Friday I finished putting pistons in a 65 Caddy, then went to Bob's at night, then went to the RC/Diecast convention yesterday (Saturday), and hung out w/BadBob. The RC cars outdoors were fucking hauling some serious ass on a huge VHT'd road course. Man that was cool. Almost as cool as goofing off and telling jokes with Bob. After that I finished the brake job on an AMX. Today, I went to 4 shows on the never ending hunt for cars to buy. Then went to Thousand Oaks to look at a 65 tripower/4 speed GTO. Then, brought Italian food over for Birthday (75th) dinner at Moms. Jeez, did I earn a drink?
