We had a 2 day snow storm in New Mexico Nov 7-8. It was wet heavy snow and we lost a lot of branches on the trees. 12"-24" of snow. I -40 and I-25 were closed in areas with truckers and motorists stranded for hours.

Got tired of dull drill bits and can't afford new ones! So I found a used Drill Doctor drill sharpener on line. Sharpens standard point 118°, split point 135° and masonry bits. 3/32"-3/4" bits. Works good so far. I already have someone that's want to borrow it! 👍

Found these in a tool box drawer looking for other stuff. Boy I sure spent a lot of coins there. I loved looking through their catalog.

Thank you for the key chains Tripper!

Going to a week long car show. Who knows what I'll go home with.

Taking my time driving to California and doing more side trips on Route 66. You see some goofy stuff on Route 66. Antares Point, Arizona

Gonna start another build. I got a cab and a frame let's get started! Well I've had both the frame and cab for about 12-13 years so I guess I started years ago. I got the cab in Texas and the frame with some others with titles in Kansas.

Reversed the corvair steering box I bought at the last swap meet. These are nice light compact boxes. But for a traditional steering the the input shaft needs to be reversed.

I was going to use a pair of F100 11" Bendix brakes on the front of my next build build but got a killer deal on some Buick Aluminum drums at a swap meet. So I'll be using them on my Model A pickup build. I'm using a pair of F2 backing plates but F200 will work also. These are 12" X 2" Bendix...

Swap meet today was great. Lots of vendors and food trucks! Lots of good stuff for sale and some really good deals to be had this time. It's seems like prices were going nuts last couple years. It's nice to see them back down a little. Guess they weren't selling anything. I got a complete Buick...

Wow, it's been awhile since I went to a good swap meet. As usual most everybody was really proud of their stuff. I also hate that they don't put their prices on stuff or they aren't there! Oh well business as usual. Lots of cool stuff to look at though. I did find some good deals though.

Friend of friend came over to look for parts from my sedan. Drive is 59 Catalina so he could compare parts.

The ultimate rat rod! Williams, AZ. I don't know if it's the one that's been on the Internet or not but I sure hope there isn't two of them!

Please send out healing thoughts and prayers for Tim aka Ellwood59 ! He was in a serious motorcycle accident and life flighted to Pres hospital in Pittsburgh in critical condition with broken ribs, back and neck!! He currently is still in ICU but is awake and posting on facebook! Thanks All!

Some photos from Barrett Jackson 2021. Great car show. Actually it was very comfortable with the limited crowd!

Found this old Coors can in the left rear quarter panel of the Poncho Safari today. I haven't seen one of these in years. They quit making that top because people would get their fingers caught in the big hole! :D

I bought a bunch of stuff on an online estate sale. A whole trailer of stuff but that's another thread. One item I bought was a HO slot car track. It was opened and used but mostly complete. Never heard of the brand but compatible with all AFX, HO, Aurora, Tyco tracks and cars. Brings back a...

I thought I should start a build thread on the Wagon. I'ved had this one about 4 years and really haven't done anything. This car had been parked at least 25 years.

Been doing some heavy reading. I have these covering late 30s to the 80s. Lots of invaluable information!
