Let see, this weekend I dropped a flathead block and crank off to be tanked and magged. Did a little work on my trucks flathead, slipped on the oil slinger and spacer, added the oil pump and pickup. I could have zipped up the bottom end but I didn't have all the oil pan bolts. A friend talked me into porting his flathead so I brought that home and finished the exhaust ports yesterday.

Oh, I also picked up an Edelbrock 500cfm carb for my truck's engine and started to mockup the custom air intake I'll be building.

on Saturday my daughter and wife talked me into doing some yard work to clean up the and weed the flower beds.

Then of course my wife had me take her to dinner and the bookstore. Of course then I had to come home and start my new book.

I did go to the shop early and try once again to remove the king pins from my front axle. Finally got one to move but I need another die to finish getting it out. Luckily I can see the light at the end of tunnel.

Sunday was spent tinning and leading the drivers side A pillar and doing the same where I removed the drip rails.

Went to a tiny show. It has been held annualy for 44 yrs but they will have to change the date because the GGuys new spring event falls on the same weekend now. Built a complex bracket for the somewhat bigger than F1 steering box on the speedster frame. Decided to only run the Model A 21" spokes on the front only and try to find some solid 20" steel 5x41/2 spares off a late suv for the rear axle.

Put the 'new' $40 keep the inspector happy interior.(He would prefer a 'finished' interior which keeps him sweet so I'm ok with that)
Fixed the fuel shut off valve leak and aligned the headlights.
Off to Mexico then when I get back it's Inspection time.
