Sure, nothing exciting around the shop. Wifey wants to do lunch at the Shore, so I'm takin' Friday off. Plus I sliced my knuckle open, so it needs a couple days to heal...

Sell any parts?

Re: PO has me PO'd

Glad I finally found all your pictures on the floor install. I'll be ready to start cutting after my vacation is over. Then i'll see if I need any extra pieces from Jon as well. Stay tuned everyone, another floor install will be starting soon. Who needs a rust free Arizona cab anyway, not us!

Good work...

Re: PO has me PO'd

Got some more work done today, worked in the kick panel area. Sure is nice to work in this area without the cowl on it. I cut out a small notch on the kick panel(top rear bolt) so it fits tighter on the floor pan, no gap when bolted up

Re: PO has me PO'd

This is where I left off for Jon on the cab corner, he has someone else taking over as I have to start a new job on Monday





Another front end, POS replacement parts fit like a glove(sorry Jon, just had to say it...LOL)

yeah, I can't turn wrenches, watch Nascar, and type at the same time

JC was over yesterday, dropped off my hardtop, he was very impressed with your '67 grille. I think he may be in contact with you. My parking lts slipped rite in, and that whole grille fit well. I used old parts including the hood latch

Finished up the grille/core support area, working on the hoses now

Bought myself some presents for getting a new job, top box and a tool/work cart. Parts came from Tim Christian, grille hoop clips, some other parts. Still one of the best guys to deal with...

Re: PO has me PO'd

are you missing the grille center support?

Tim just sent me up some door seals; hope to see him the 8th or 9th down in Carlisle.

Not missing, just didn't put it in. It feels real solid without it, maybe later maybe not at all. I may modify it to use the bottom half....looks like I'm going to miss Carlisle, enjoy and buy lots of parts

that sucks, I just came through your neck of the woods today. mama found a Ferrari in Philly that she HAD to have.. went ahead and made my trip to ScottH's place and picked all my goodies up since I was out that way... Sorry I didn't have a chance to stop in, pouring rain, Philly and a trailer was a little busy for me!

Here's a pic of what the new ride looks like... Little guy should like it!

I would have opted for the Testa Rossa, dated styling, but still better than the Daytona No wonder our children grow up to be motorheads. What part of Philly were you in?

I wish I woulda known, JC came over and could've brought your parts, could've saved ya 4 hours of travel, Your right that was a very nasty storm, lightning was hitting all around us. Glad it didn't knock out the TV, indy was on.LOL

Re: PO has me PO'd

I was actually near Cherry hill, NJ for the bed... my sons ceiling fan is this one... hopefully he likes speed!

This isn't his but you get the idea... i have clouds painted on the ceiling.. now I just need to find a few Japanese zero's for it to shoot at.

I also have some Mario Andretti autographed prints to hand in his room still...

That's cool, we used to fly airplanes(control line) as kids, put ribbons on the tail, and with two guys in a ring we could have dogfights. They were plastic to start out with, almost indestructable, well almost, but the motors always seemed to pull thru. Then you built the balsa wood models with the motor and continued on

Glad your bringing up Jr. the right way

Had to look at the pic twice, got it now...Corsair/ Navy no less

I have to read your threads closely, sometimes you stick bold type in there
