a long slow process

well things are happening in my shop but at a snails pace it seems. i'm working a lot but don't have a lot of progress to show. i have the chevy partially primered and found a good stock hood to replace the badly warped one that had the big scoop. it really looks different but i think i like the sleeper look better. the floors in the ford coupe were just about completely gone so i have been forming and welding a lot there. when i bought the coupe you couldn't read the odometer cause the letters were peeled off so out of curiosity i took the speedometer out to see if i could figure it out and to my great surprise i could read the other numbers. this car has just over 15,000 original miles. wow what a terrible waste that it sat out in a field for 35 years and the whole bottom 3rd of the car is rusted away. i am in the process of curing that problem though. as always---until next time

sneak preview of things to come

new subframe in place

hot summer fun

since i finished the stepside i have been real busy working on the two projects i have going. i did a lot more sanding on the chevy and then switched over to the ford coupe and installed the subframe from the donor. i'm pretty much done on the coupe till i acquire ane engine and running gear. we've been to a couple more shows with the flamed ford and got one more trophy to add to the grandson's collection. the summer has been so hot that i have been working early in the mornings and spending the afternoons in the ac comfort of the house. progress has been somewhat slow but i'm still hacking away and one of these days i'll get caught up. (not gonna happen). until next time
