SHOP UPDATE: Sold a couple of cars last week

I sold a couple more cars last week. Thanks to Tim Kapphan for hauling them all over the country again for me.

SHOP UPDATE: Jim's 35 Ford went home today!!!

Jim took delivery of his new 35 Ford pickup today. Susi and I will surely miss having this one around!

SHOP UPDATE: Jim's truck is on the road !

 I finally had a day off from fishing and Susi and I attacked the transmission in Jim's truck.

 Here is the new Monster Transmissions AOD

 Trying out the new trans jack, Worked great for this job for sure.

 The trans is in and I am finishing bolting it up

Susi and I took it for a test drive and it passed with flying colors. The trans shifted perfectly and the truck drove like a dream. Time to calibrate the speedo and put a few miles on it. It should be one hell of a truck. Jim's going to love it.

SHOP UPDATE: Moving forward on the roadster.

We finally finished the fit on the fenders and installed all the bumpers and brackets. Tonight Susi and I removed the fenders and running boards so we can start the body work on them.

SHOP UPDATE: Craigslist score 1969 302 Ford

A good friend of mine scored this off Craigslist for me. 1969 302 Ford, chances are its a runner. It was cheap!

SHOP UPDATE: Getting some stuff done on the 32 roadster

 I had to cut the crap out of the new rear fender to get the gap right. Looking good now

 I got the rear frame covers installed with some major trimming and the spreader bar fits pretty good.

 I had to narrow the front spreader to get it to fit in the frame. Now I will have to re-locate the holes so it centers up in the splash apron. So much for new parts going together without tons of work.

I did get the battery mounted without any issues !!!! woo hoo

SHOP UPDATE: We made it to the show

 Here is Susi finishing the wet sanding on the fenders for Jim's pickup

 The finished fenders

 here is the truck headed for the show Saturday morning

We had a pretty fun day, showed four cars and won a couple of awards.
