Yo, Dave. Santa said I'd been bad all year so I didn't get any ac lines. I spent the day running wires to the headlight relays and running a 1/4" line to the clutch slave cyl. Chuck at CNC, who started the company. said with a 3/16" line , I would smoke the clutch when I got smart. I didn't explain to him about team smart.

My plan for tomorrow is to finish the metal on the floor boards and start on the door latches. When that's done, I could put the doors on but the glass won't be here until after the first so I'm going to wait till that's done before I put the doors on. I cross 10 items off the list and find 10 more to do. The elves aren't helping.

I started installing the EFI harness in this 57 Nomad today, got about 1/2 of it done. Built up another driveshaft for it today, the old one was too short. It's ready to go in.

Oh, I also installed a new keyboard so I can read the letters now.

Well I put the anglia on 4 wheels last night...sorta.. The axles that I bought are real nice except one is too long.No access to my machine shop till tomorrow. I stuck a dummy axle in the one side and proceeded to put the fenders on only to find out that I have 2 different fenders! The fenders both have the same arch but one has more material between the arch and the top of the fender. The stupid thing about this is that I knew about the different types of fenders and still managed to do this to myself.The aussie built anglias have a different rear fender than the english built ones.When I sold my parts car a couple years ago,I kept the best fenders for me and sent the rest along with the parts car. Now I have to try and find the guy I sold the parts car to and let him know about the problem. maybe we can exchange the passenger side fenders.The anglia I am building is a '49 the one I sold was a '51.

Tomorrow I am glassing some floorpans...

phat rat · December 30, 2007, 02:05:05 PM

Well so far yesterday and today I've accomplished nothing car wise. Today was rather warm so my wife and I decided to go for a walk on the beach (Lake Michigan) to enjoy the cool refreshing lake breezes. After that we decided to take a walk up in the hills. This old man needs more exercise. The one pic in the hills shows Lake Michigan in the background

Honey im home... Great time in Ft Wayne at the races.. Got totally hammered friday night and stayed sober last night. It was nice waking up with out a hangover this morning

Tony Stewart got crashed of friday but man he was hooked up last night.. The place sold out and looked like a nascar race with all the home depot crap people were wearing and although i like Tony i dont wear that stuff cause i really dont like nascrap :!: Real race cars dont have fenders.. :!: Im glad he won though .. Oh ya the Hooters girls are really nice too.. My son and my buddy and I the one i used to wrench for have made some race plans for the summer already. Rick and I dont get to hang much anymore so this is gonna be more fun. Sue just got home from VA and I went to the garage and looked at the hot rod.. All is well. Next is ordering the seat cover and panel material and ill do the inside.. Won an auction for some trunk poppers and a couple horns and im waiting for that new spiffy metal flake steering wheel too. Im gonna take some more pics tomorrow......
Later.
