Looks like snow in pix huh? Good old sugar sand...

Looks great Smalls.... is this going to be closed in or just a shed...

Future plans are to add another half of the building to double it's size, make a partial 2nd floor and close it in. Right now, it's gonna be a shed until the house is finished. Junior will pull his camper under it and live there to finish the house.

Shed part is done...Jr said his knees are sufficiently sore to quit.

Today in Cranksville -22°F, sunny and clear with a moderate breeze...

Two of our five drivers surrendered their batteries to the cold. I changed one in the driveway. It was refreshing.

Started out in the 50s and ended in the 70s today....

Cleaned more of the garage. Made enough room under the lift to get the rat on the ground so I can start working on it again.

good!

Mrs Tripper, her sister & her 21 yr old son & I went to Nawlins for 4 daze... some kinda fun!!! Christmas day we had a really killer brunch at the hotel & cruised the Quarter & had us a few more! These SAntas were hangin' out at an Irish pub... haha! We stay @ my fav hotel, The Royal Sonesta, right on Bourbon... it's a beautiful hotel, has killer music in the bar & they always deck it out in style! We also spent the night gambling on our way back in Lake Charles, La & I actually won $7.25. Anytime I walk away with most of my $$$... I consider it a win but I usually make up for any losses guzzlin' the free booze though! [ddd[ddd[ddd

Cheers ya'll!!!

LOL that actually crossed my mind I was thinking 331 poly... nah...

Whoaa, Dutch and Small, you've got my attention now. I have some tractors apart in the shop and I'm going to put a Chrysler motor in a Massey-Harris. These tractors are a bit easier to hotrod as the motor sits in a belly tub and just a shaft connects to the transmission input shaft. Oh, the Chrysler motor is a 230 short head flathead six.

I Figured your feelers would come up when Dutch started throwin tractor pix around. I always wanted to hotrod one just never took the time. There's always a tractor or 3 laying around here so that's not the problem. I've seen what they have to go thru on some of the Ford stuff...basically provide a frame to work with.

Got back into the shop a little bit yesterday. Got the old rear suspension mostly removed from the '64 Chevy C10 that is up next for a turn-key build. Gonna be a solid little shop truck with a nice raked static drop and SBC/auto combo. Owner wants a easy & reliable driver, doesn't get much better...
