finally a warm day

we finally got a warm day so i decided it was time to get my toys out of the shop so i could sweep and clean after a long winter. it sure was nice to hear the 54 ford sedan running along with the 63 chevy. man they both sound good and it is definitely music to my ears. who needs a stereo when you can listen to the pipes growling. for now i have moved the 54 ford coupe outside so i can concentrate on the bodywork on the chevy. i've been working on it for a year and a half and it's time to get going in a big way. i did take a few pictures while i had them all outside so everyone can see my current stable of cars. don't ya' just love it. until next time

sure is a pretty little thing

latest addition to the stable

i saw this little car and it looked so lonely and forlorn i just had to bring it home. it will make a good partner for our 54 sedan. right now i haven't really formulated a game plan for it but sooner or later i will. it has the usual rust problems for this body style car but not any worse than some of the others i've done. i have a little time right now so i have been cleaning it up and checking things over to see what all it needs . it very well may be a long term project because as soon as the weather warms i will be back to doing the bodywork on the 63 chevy. we'll see how it goes. until next time.

long time no see

i can't believe it has been almost a year since i posted on here. we had a rainy summer last year and didn't get to go to many cars shows so there really wasn't much to post. i have been working on the 63 but the progress has been painfully slow. sometimes life seems to get in the way of progress. i do have most of the 63 in primer and have a big part of the rough bodywork done. i would really like to get it painted this summer but i'm not going to hold my breath. i'm really in no hurry now because i want the bodywork to be as good as i can get it. we'll see how it goes and i'll try to post more often as progress continues. until next time
