What I got done lately

[enjenjo]

Well today I got the Short block for my 65 Buick assembled.  I've only had the parts for 5 months.  We also got the A motor out of the sprint car torn down, and mostly cleaned up, when the rings come in, I can put that together. The trans for the sprint car is rebuilt, new bearings, good gears, and rebuilt shifter, painted and ready to install. The rear hubs have been machined to fit the knockoff adapters, and redrilled to six lug. the steering box is also rebuilt, and ready to install. I'm getting a pretty large pile of parts that  are done.

I am glad that things are going better and that you are making progress.  Around here if something goes right, it is so that something else can go wrong.  I did finish up work today on the chopped custom and it leaves in the morning.  A short ( ha ha) wiring job is coming in next.  It is a MGTD replica.   When it is finished I have work to do on the truck I am taking to NSRA OKC the weekend after next.  Retirement keeps us all busy.

Unfotunately, I found out today I have the rings in wrong, so I have to pull the pistons and do them over :x  At least I didn't have the heads on.

I have been lovingly  referred to as a "Fecal Magnet" at work.
I seem to attract the worst.

I had two partners request shift trades because every time they work with me something bad happens.  :evil:  :evil:

usually a nasty accident, or a full blown cardiac arrest after a big plate of spaghetti.  :oops:


sorry, hope I didn't give anyone a "visual"

Yes, I switched the top and second rings.
