The last 4 days have been crazy here in the shop!!!


Worked some extra hours and finished the welding on my Model A pickup frame. Threw it on the trailer and hauled it off to the sand blaster. Might have it back this weekend.
Picked up some of my parts from the sand blaster. the last three parts for the 40 tudor. If I can get a couple of these jobs out soon I can get back to the body work and get this car painted.


Made a little progress on the 49 chevy. Finished adapting the Nissan Brakes to the S10 chassis. Found all the correct fittings to adapt the Hydraulic clutch, should finish that up tomorrow. Made all the modifications and hooked up the power steering. We also got the transmission mounted and ordered the new drive shaft. I also removed the little wind wings from the early doors and adapted them to the newer doors with the one piece glass. Nice little touch. waiting on parts as usual.

Picked up another quick job yesterday. This is a 1962 Chevrolet Belair 4 door wagon. We have to install a new wiring harness, heater blower motor which requires the removal of the front fender, Hook up everything electrical and get this car running again. Made real progress yesterday, all the wiring for the rear of the car is finished. I ordered new tail light lenses or it would be complete. Finished the conversion from generator to alternator. Replaced the starter solenoid. Started re installing some of the dash and had the engine cranking over. Hope to have the dash in and maybe running tomorrow. Will be waiting for parts on this one also.
