Undercoated the floor and firewall on the anglia. Ran out of undercoating with a spot the size of both hands in the middle of the firewall left to do.

Quote from: "phat rat"
Quote from: "348tripower"I like the Coe too. Garage tour looked like a great time. I fixed a leaky fuel line and oil pan on a 98 Ford. Doing a bit of work on my Coe getting ready for the Hot Rod Power Tour. My pal Red and I are going to do the long haul. Headed to Fla. on June 1. We are taking the truck out Friday for a day of cruising to see what falls off. Going to Billetproof on Saturday in Ypsi. I am kinda getting used to this unemployment thing.

So I'll see you here in Muskegon?

Oh ya!

I spent 6 hours sitting in my cold "shed" surrounded by piles of crap that we've collected over the past year. Even though it was a miserable day outside, I still had enough people stop by the garage sale to pay for the new front axle kit for the Essex. AND...I have lots of extra space in the shed again. Win-win situation!

I'm getting drunk, and contemplating my fate on the tree of woe. Well that, and trying to decide what to do with my bastard transmission situation.

Spent the last couple days undercoating/reassembling my anglia. Late arriving pushrods have pushed fresh engine fire up back to next week.We have a car show tomorrow at our school ,Iwill be taking the anglia there minus engine to show as a project in the works.I have invited others to bring unfinished cars to the show,the kids can learn a lot from works in progress.

Made some rear axle saddles for the 8" Maverick rear end I got for the Essex...

I also got the aforementioned 8" pulled apart for rebuilding. I still need to cut the factory saddles off it...

And I took a trip out to snap some pics of the working Bennett 966 gas pump that I stumbled across last month. This beauty should be following me home shortly.

Our car show was a success. About 60 cars and bikes showed up and about$1000 was raised for the childrens hospital.

Went to Earl Schieb's shop Sat. & picked up my 40 coupe body. His paint work is awesome as usual. Sat the body back on the frame & started shimming for proper door alignment. Three day weekend, in the shop all 3 days.My goal was to drive the car on the Street Rodder road tour from Knoxville to KZ in Sept. , doesn't look like that will happen now.

Attended my first rod run of the season yesterday, and today I will be doing what I seem to be doing all the time, SAND, SAND, SAND. Also going to change the plugs in the Impala.

Did some block sanding on the '40 this morning and just got done mowing the grass. Been wet here. Third cutting in 8 days and it's 82 and humid. Having a cold brew as I Type.

Had a Lincoln spec C6 trans in the shop this week. Have not seen one in many years.

Used behind the 462 engine for 2 yrs as I recall, the case top was slanted off to provide clearance for the HVAC stuff on the firewall. Engine block was special too. Some blocks had dual patterns for bell housing
