Well kids its friday

I was in a class all day at work for lean manufacturing so im kinda lazy tonite . I think ill just relax :!: Tomorrow im gonna work on the trunk of the roadster. It needs to be carpeted. I may run to the parts store and get some coolong system flush so I can do that this weekend also.. Im gonna be running a bit to the funeral home so im not gonn a get as much done as i thought but i will get more done.. I was gonna get the hood ready and prime cause sunday and monday was going to be nice enuff to roll the roadster and the tool boxes outside but that aint gonna happen now. Lots of time yet and still winter here anyway..

I have all the Buick parts out for powder coating, so I started on another project this week, a 35 Ford Cabriolet. Steering, brakes, and radiator. Should keep me busy for a few days.

If you do the first bar right you won't need any more. GPster (Charter member :team Smart Azz"

Nice car.. Looks like today im gonna try the cooling system flush on the roadster and wash Sue's car .. I need to find someone to tig weld my tailpipes and then ill be about ready to go.

Some pics of what I've been doing the last few days. This is on the modified. I'm making my own rear spring mounts because I don't like the Speedway design and I don't want to spend the money for Pete & Jake stuff which is what I'm copying. Yes I think it's heavy enough.

The Z is 9". Oh and the chain is all a retired guy on a fixed income can afford. NO GOLD chain here.

Well its Friday and still winter.. The ride to work was ok but we took the G/P and i hear that the highway is shut down.. Oh well.. Think Spring. I finished most of my shift ball adapter today and Im not sure if im gonna play in the garage tonite or not.. This weather just has me bummed out.. Tomorrow im gonna make another attempt at the carpet in the trunk that i didnt get done last weekend. The next thing on the list is some kind of attachments to hold the hood tops closed .. Ideas anyone? I wonder where the guys get them there fancy springs they use with the leather belts? HUMM next weekend is autorama.. I guess were going saturday but thats kinda in the air too..

tomorrow it's supposed to be 76 degrees here. Yaa! However, they are forecasting up to 50 mph wind. I'll try to get the stereo mounted again. If it gets nice, the cycles are all lonely. Sunday won't be as nice so I will have to find a different excuse or work.
