Got my '63 on the road. Woot! Now my Olds can move into 'current build' status!

Friday evening, I took the radiator out of the Bonehead truck. I replaced it with a nice aluminuim one I got from the swap meet a while back. It is bigger and looks like crap, but the engine showed no signs of heating up. I also welded in a new skull into the air intake, for the car show the next day.

The 69 Mustang went to the car show too, no problem. But the 65 threw a fit and did not want to go. First the battery would not take a charge. Then I fowled out a plug on the way there. After cleaning the plugs down the street from the car show, I pulled into a show space, and the heater core took a dump in the passenger side floor board. But it being the local show, I got all three cars in. Fun day.

A friend came over and helped mount up some big tires for another project I am working on.


Then Sunday I went and picked up a parts truck with my Son and my Dad, for my son's Willys pickup project.

And sometimes, nothing happens on a weekend.

Had a BBQ with 60+ people Saturday so I could borrow a few of them to unload the 35 Plymouth body off my trailer!

Started to take the wishbones off the axles I got. This is going to be chore. Listed a bunch of stuff on Ebay.

Got the cab situated & ready to mount, made the front & rear mounts for my '41 Ford pu & also cut the rubber mounting pads from a boat trailer roller with my angle saw... worked perfectly but smelled up the place like burnt rubber (a smell I'm very familiar with)!!!

I pulled the trigger a couple weeks ago to buy a small budget shop. I really needed a place to just fab on my 29 Pontiac. So I placed a call into Americansteelinc.com and placed an order. Well I got a call on Monday last week for it to be delivered and set up on Saterday morning. I am going to frame the rest in and side it to match my shed. It will have a 14 foot garage door installed also on the front with a side access door on the grass side. Its all 2 1/4 galvanized steel tubing with a metal roof. Its 16x24.
