What Did Ya Get Done This Weekend?

[earthman]

Tried to instill the old car passion in my kids but they never really got it until now. I just got a quick and loud glass T roadster and my oldest son (43) who lives with me wants to be driving it everywhere. Apparently my other cars just weren't quick and loud enough.

Kenny, I followed in your footsteps. I went to one swapmeet and got a 383 distributor and fuel pump, with only test run miles, I believe.

Did you go to the Stony Plain swap meet, Mac?

 

[MercuryMac]

Yes, Snopro, did I walk right past you in the aisles? We got there about 1:30 and some of the people were clearing off their tables by 3:00.

When the snow start flying I get back in the shop and we in Northern Michigan have had a mild winter so far

All the cars and trucks are packed into the barns and my shop is full and locked up tight until spring .... projects on the que this winter is to make some serious progress on the 66 rat in my build thread and I am also putting together a 55 Chevy pickup short box fleetside ...

Today I had the pleasure of trying to find pistons for the 265 v-8 that came with the 55 .... think I finally found some @ Kantor Bros.

Also I tend to play on the computer box more in winter so guess you are stuck for the next 5 months .......

I spent the weekend getting ready to go snag a '34 Hudson sedan Tuesday.
I rained down there in the woods Sunday night and Monday AM so it's going to be muddy. I hope I can pull this off.
Here is a pic of the turn on to the trail. It is about 10 or 12 miles in to car.
If nothing else my grandson and I will have fun in the woods trying.
If we are successful I'll start a build thread on it.

Been working on a 52 Plymouth for a friend. He asked if I could make 22 inch wheel/tire combo fit. I asked "can I cut it up?" He replied "Sure."
Narrowed Ram 1500 rear axle, front suspension from parts of the same truck and a lot of hand fabbed everything else.
This weekend, installed the motor for the last time, finished the floor and seat mounts, and mounted the clip.
still have steering, brakes, and a ton of other @#$% to do.
