Manifolds are hung in place by a bolt on each end and I'm taking a break to catch my breath. Once I have all the bolts in and torqued down, I'm done. If I were feeling better, I could probably have it up and running this evening, but it ain't happening today.

Stick a fork in me - I'm done.

Lower intake & exhaust are torqued down, fuel lines reconnected, wiring harness connected, and rags stuffed in the runners. I will have to tackle the rest of it when I'm feeling better...

Howdy all, Camero went home, got a fun ride in a blown Camero, baby brother got drone video of it and our property. He and his wife are headed to Pennsylvania in the morning.

Evening All!

I didn't work on the '73 today. I felt like bending metal so I finished the rear motorcycle fender the guy doesn't want. I figured I'd take it with me to the man show. It turned out pretty cool. I also sold some parts off the '52, so I made a few bucks today too.

Evening all. That is a good idea Alan on the rear fender. Lots of fabricated bikes these days.

Burned a huge brush pile and some leaves that were close...I didn't rake anything up today.

There is a lady at work that her husband passed away.. She asked me if I wanted to take down her metal barn and keep it....she always hears me talking about wanting more garage space....she is going to bring pics tomorrow unless her son wants it. She said it would hold 4 cars.

Sounds like a good opportunity out of a sad situation. I finally found the Zero Turn deck, someone decided it belonged in the scrap pile, in the very back corner of the woods. One rider runs and she ground up leaves while I searched for the deck. Now to rebuild that deck and balance the blade.

I am so not ready to start having to mow grass!! My yard is just too big and a complete pain to deal with. I raked and burned some leaves today myself. Cleaned and oiled guns and watched a few hours of My Little Pony with my daughter. Overall it was a very productive day for me.

Good Morning Everybody!

I need to finish that Edge today. That's gonna screw up the rest of my day because it should be in paint by around lunch time. I guess I can run a few errands in the afternoon and make phone calls.
