Its the weekend are you gonna do anything?

[Dave]

Im not sure what im doing this weekend now that the seat needs to be redone.. I do have the back kinda on and its sitting back in the car for measurements. I may run to the fabric store and try to get some foam then i can try and finish the back. I need to run to menards for 3m 90 glue also.. I was really going to get a lot done.. I still may..

I got something you can do, lol

Well we got 1 good fabric store here that I know of and they dont have any 1/2 inch foam so i got some comming from the Bay.. I guess il head to the garage and do some work on the door panels and i need to really think about my seat mount as i added tracks and i may take em off and gain an inch lower profile. Hell i never moved the ones in the coupe? Also i went back and read Jerry from Ezboy interiors email again (i was in a hurry the other night and just saw the call tag stuff) and,,,, he is making me a new bottom cover monday so im assuming when they drop that off they will pick up the other one . That will be wednesday. That will work..

I am here to tell ya that it does snow here in Mississippi. One week ago, several of my friends & I got in 4 trucks and drove in the snow from Jackson, MS to New Orleans to the World of Wheels inside the Superdome. It stopped snowing on us just before we got out of Mississippi. The event was great! Here are a few pictures of some of the cars that were there.

I got the lower cover off the seat with anticipation of the new one comming soon (see pics post on bad sewing) ..

We celebrated ourt nations birthday (Australia day) with a Hot Rod show.

Whilst it may not be the Grand National Roadster Show, it is held in the most magnificent exhibition hall in all the world, The World Heritage Listed, Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne Australia.  



This is in fact the longest running event to be held in this building opening over the Australia Day weekend for the past 48 years.





There's a rolling car-show outside in the gardens all weekend long.

[Carps]

Inside the hall, there's most things for the hot rodding enthusiast, including a miniature car show, where the competition is equally intense with cars like this Celica roofed custom shoe-box Ford competing for the big trophies,







And of course there's plenty of shiney and sparkling large scale hot rods and customs.

[Carps]

Wouldn't be Australia without at least one Yoot!  



And of course there were plenty of custom motor sickles.



Not to mention a few weird critters, like the Tassie Devils holding up all the stuff on Ian Murcott's display.





Or the Bay Rodder's junkyard dog.

Thanks for the pics Carps. That is certainly a beautiful building.

[Carps]

My pleasure.

The whole country is as gorgeous as that building.

Some of the inhabitants are a bit rough around the edges though.

When I saw the last picture I had to go grab the new Rodder's Digest that came the other day.  Looks like the flamed Shoebox Ford on page 67 in the Paso coverage gets around.
