Looks like you've done some since you got it. Now you need to get started again and keep it rolling. Looking forward to your next pictures. Maybe something every month or ....

Now that's what you call progress. Very impressive! Can hardly wait to view the video of its' first startup. Easter or Memorial Day or ......?

Dem Valve Covers looks real nasty, like one of dose NASCAR engin's. I think any Michael Walthrop store (NAPA) can make up special length high pressure lines for you power steering pump needs. Just show them your end fittings and give them the lengths you want.

One last piece of business. A small subproject to complete the deal. I had all these new pieces/parts left over. Then I noticed the old rusted out trailer body. A little bit of flat black paint and a stencil brought this project to a proper conclusion.I've heard of "Rat Rods", now we have ...

Our wagon is ready for Carlisle. Are you?

Slow but steady progress. The gas tank is ready.
Still much more underneath!

Love those YELLOW accessaries. Even the drill matches. Does the oil pressure show on that SW gauge?

Anyone else joining us Friday @6:30pm at the west end entrance. Use your cell phone if you decide at the last minute. Grins.

Just received the "Radio Flyer" decals so I sent the afternoon in the garage. Decals were very large rub-ons. You only get one chance to get them right. The dual exhausts are back. The "Carlisle Events" plaque on the back of the beverage trailer came from a coffe cup I bought in ...

Very clever, you fellows from down south. Nicely done. It's amazing that Tim was able to feed that 12 second Mustang through a 5/16" fuel line.

It's hard to believe it takes so many brackets just to hold on two bumpers. All the brackets were tanked, bead blasted, etched, primed, and eventually painted. Considerable effort since they're not really seen, but they sure look good and they shouldn't rust. This week also saw the installation of a...

On the remote chance that you might not make it to Spring Carlisle this year, make sure Basement Paul has your list of things your looking for and your cell phone number. However, Carlisle is more fun live.

I picked up a flyer for these folks at Rick's Garage. For you stick shift guys, this might be something you would be interested in. They have a pretty good web site "http://www.umtrdragrace.com". Check out the Northern Division schedule. Familiar drag strips.

Painted the body with almost two cans of DupliColor Red, approximately three coats on the top and bottom with four coats on the sides. Then a coat of Rustoleum flat black brushed into the bed. I have a lettering template which helped me create the "TireSmoke.Org" stencil. I replaced the ol...

More pieces have been collected during the week and stuff has been prepared for under the dashboard, etc.. The weekend was spent rebuilding and installing the front brakes and front suspension.
Right down to the new tie rod ends.
