It popped up in my email today that there was an update on the Roofus thread. Man, I was hoping to see a video of you cruising it down the road!

A while back, I robbed the new ball joints off of roofus for the jag front end that is under the studebaker. Today I ordered new ball joints for roofus.

I'm tired of waiting to be perfectly inspired on what to do next. I'm going to assemble it with what I have now and redo the stuff I'm not happy with at a later date. I need the workbench.

Good to see you back at it. I was concerned Rufus was going to become an artifact.

That is dad's shop gantry that he built out of big steel scraps for fun. When he built the shop, he was planning to hang a 50ft mahogany chris craft in the ceiling...just because.

He erected all that steel by himself without a crane. He is the kinda guy that could have built the pyramids with hand tools.
