All I got done this weekend was showing how well I can hold down a couch.

Wait-a-minute,
I did get something done, I helped one of the local kids install racing seats in his S-10. He was tickled to finally get them in. Good kid, and that was the first time I had his undivided attention. I got to teach him a lot this weekend.

i finally bought a blast cabinet! i had no idea what i missing out on

i spent a couple hours with a wire wheel and a dremel trying to clean up one half of the front brake calipers on the vette. took me less then ten minutes with the sand blaster. I was a little worried about getting stuff inside the caliper and the second caliper i did a much better job of taping off. I tripled checked both and cleaned the heck out of em afterwards. I would hate for some glass beads to be running around my brake system .

got a couple of coats of caliper paint on them and one of the hubs painted. Need to finish painting tonight and tuesday, hopefully i can get it all back together by wednesday night. we'll see.

otherwise, i worked at my second job, and watched a couple movies- the wickerman and lady in the water, both were pretty good. Also, everyone looks like they made great progress this weekend, awesome.

Keep that couch under control flat!

I went back out and got a door and some roof pieces for the A. I also painted my big truck cammo green. With the hummer tires and the paint it looks straight out of the military.

Talking Dash work in progress!

Well I thought I'd post what we got done this weekend too!
We cut and welded more on my sons Nash.Filled the center on top and got some welded in solid.The rear window was sloped way more than we wanted so we cut two parallel lines from the base of the top strait back and then across the trunk area. Then cut out 8 inches from there back ( the little wedge shape) and then slid the whole deck forward that 8 inches.Then we got it tacked back in and the passengers side got welded in solid.NOW we have to cut the trunk lid and lengthen it and fill in the 8 inch gap on the lid and the rear quarters!
This car has been cut on more than Michael Jackson! LOL!
I worked on my tudor too but will post pics later!
