Next build day

enjenjo · January 03, 2010, 04:28:11 PM

This one is over, worked out good. Now we have to start planning the next. We are far enough along to start on the frame the next time. On the rear housing, I discovered just before the last build day that I no longer had collars for narrowing the rear. Fatcat says I gave them away, I remember lending them. in any case, I am making new ones, when I get them done I can weld up the housing. Hopefully that will be done before the next build, so we can get onto the rear suspension.

How soon are you thinking? I'm out the weekend of the 16-17 January but that is as far out as I know right now.

Is there anything else we need parts wise?

Tomslick has mentioned that he has the pieces necessary to narrow a 9" housing. Maybe what you have left will work with parts of his and he would loan them to us. GPster

If it was just the one for the race car to do, I would just let him do it, but I have two more to do for customers.

That is when the ice in your drink melts slower than usual.

What happened to the first week of March

Glad I didn't plan for it!! I was just assuming March until I saw this and went to check it out. Thanks!

Yep, thats where I went. Just assumed March since its been then for quite a few years. Never thought to check!!

The next build day will be on a sunday. Do I have suggestions on which one? We have more room to work in now, the 47 body is back on the frame.

I just checked and the church in Swanton has a Saturday evening and an early (8:00) Sunday morning mass. With that concern taken care of for me I'd be good for a Sunday "Build Day". I'm good for the 21th and possibly even this weekend the 7th. The 14th is out for me because I have an appointment on the 15th and I might not be home in time and of course the 28th people will be busy with that car show. Too soon for me to plan March but every Sunday looks open. GPster
