I've got plenty of other projects to keep me busy!

Not a problem DMW! - I had to part with my T bucket frame too to make the new one possible and get moved. Got extra cash in my pocket and It's all good. You have the holy grail of hot rods and I got my new job and getting a frame I won't have to modify.

Put the semi-final touches on the dash board for my T. Rototilled the garden and kinda cleaned up the shop. Put new air hose on the compressor, got some stuff called Flexilla really like it so far, very light, and bright green

Attempted to get the chain saw started to cut up a fallen tree. Got bored with that and will try again another day.

Started swapping out the 327 in the T-Bucket for a new 350. Made a new dash and played with the gauge layout. The speedo and gas gauge will be in later this week. I'll move the ignition switch and headlight switch to the lower left side of the dash.

Had great weather in Arkansas this last 4 days so took off work and got busy.

Thurs was snake bit. Knocked off my Dewalt bat charger into the 3 gallon bucket of water I use to cool parts after sawing them on the chop saw--FRIED it bad--smokin!! Order a new one offa eBay+2 batts.. Tried to get the 29 fiberglass coupe moved so I can dismantel it. Front brake caliper stuck and squirter on the 750 Holley plugged--Fixed both Couple hours and a trip to town for a squirter diaphram.. Got the shifter fixed on the 33 Dodge in my shop, added 4 qts Tranny fluid, 2 gallons antifreez, fired it up and drove it outta the shop for the first time! (the only thing that went right the whole day)!!

Friday--Sawed up the Bentley!! There just ain't nuthin like sawing up a car to bring peace to my soul.. Cut the front off behind the middle post and drug it into the shop to do rust repair. Pretty bad rusty--would'nt have lasted much longer--fine candidate for a Rat..

Sat. Went to the iron yard and got a variety of iron--14 ga checker plate for the firewall, a stick of 1"x3"x 1/8, couple sticks 1x1, 2x2 sq, 2 sticks 2x2x1/8 angle, 1 sheet 18 guage sheet iron, 2-sticks 1/8 x 2" strap--$200. Cut the worst of the rust off the rocker area and started reinforcing the rockers and doorpost with the 1"x3" in an 'L', plan to weld the front of each lower leg of each 'L' to the checkerplate firewall to create a strong structure for the suicide doors..

Took a few pix and Will start a build thread on the Bentley speedster after I get some progress in a few weeks.

Sun. Had Lasangne and played with the grand kids and rode them in Mule (Kaw) and napped in the shade. Its fun listening to kids playing in the yard and dozin off..

Good weekend!!
