Evening All!

It was a good day at the shop. We signed the papers for the new shop today and I FINALLY got the paint on the Mustang finished up. I'm happy with how it turned out. Now all I have to do is put it all back together.

 

good morning missouri... well sort of, its barely midnight here... i hope ya'll did not get too much cold or snow.. we have maybe 4-6 inches with more than that in some areas.. the columbia gorge looks to of got the worse of it.. so of course that is where i wanted to go this weekend..

very nice stang alan.. the color looks great with the black accents

rich the red truck looks great being moved around under its own power..

 

Morning Gentlemen

Yeah Alan that car looks really cool!

Carpet arrived already.

 

Morning folks.

Congratulations on the new shop Alan and X2 on that car looks awesome.

Cool deal Jeff.

 

Morning all. 2016 is ending on fine note as, once again, I am under the weather. I'm trying to let this one run it's course without too much interference hoping it will finally stay away. Of course, this means I ought to be oh so pleasant to be around at jury duty orientation later this morning.

I think my brake vibration is in the front. Hopefully I'll feel more like messing with it later this weekend.

 

hope all works well for ya dave.. not much going on here yet.. looks like a sheet of ice fell on top of the snow outside, should make getting around town fun..

 

Well my day just keeps getting better and better. Now Frankentruck won't start. So not in the mood for this today.

 

Howdy all. Alan, the mustang looks great. Dave, good luck on the day improving. I'm hoping to go nowhere today, 102 fever and cold/flu symptoms...yuck.

 

Evening All!

The Mustang continues to be a pain. The guy gave me interior pieces from three different cars and giant bucket-o-bolts. Hey, can you dye all the interior parts black (was red) and put it all back together for me? .....dang it!

 

good morning missouri...

rich get outta that red truck.. and get back to work..... or stay home and watch TV... it is all the same in the big picture..

alan work is work, so i hope it is all easy and pays well.... most of what i do anymore ..is hard as could be.. and pays nothing...

chip remember to feed a cold and starve a fever.. or vice versa.. whichever works best..... ha ha ha ha ha

jeff i cant think of anything else needed.. maybe some brains.. i seem to be low on that anymore...

 

Surely you can get out of jury duty being a corrections officer. Just say you see that type everyday and they're all guilty! So far it's worked for my dad who is in law enforcement.

 

Technically, I'm not an officer but that's neither here nor there. It all depends on the nature of the case and the selection process. I will be on-call for jury duty until the end of April. The pool of jurors is pretty big so maybe I'll not get drawn to report.

I'm starting to feel better so maybe I'll get the grease monkey and see if I can figure out what's going on this time. Due to some power loss, pinging under load, and increased noise from the high pressure pump at start recently, I suspect that it has gone south.

I plan on checking fuel pressure first. If that's good, then I'll check the computer. If the computer is toast again, I'll be hunting a 4bbl intake and HEI distributor for a conversion. The in-tank pumps are rated at 5-8 psi so they should work depending on the needs of the carb. If needed I can put a pressure regulator in to keep it under control.

 

Evening All!

RC. This part of the job won't pay much, but it sure is a pain in the rear bumper.

It took an hour+ to get the rear seat mount brackets in. After cleaning and painting everything, I had to dig through that mess of hardware and try to figure out what goes where. I hope to make better progress tomorrow.

I also got a start on prepping the crush cars. Starters, alternators, A/C condensers, batteries, cast aluminum and glass are coming out to try a recoup some of my losses. I have a pretty impressive pile so far and I'm not finished yet with these cars. I hope to put a little bit of money back in my piggy bank.

 

Evening folks.
