What's everyone up to?

It's been a little quiet in here lately. What has everyone been up to lately?

Not much going on here. Just work and more work.

Been busy. I finished my home made sandblaster over the weekend. It works great. It's the pressurized style I made from a used pressure tank and will probably holdover 500 pounds of media. I can't believe how much more evenly it feeds than a siphon unit. I started blasting the rear fender braces that I'm working on. So far no warpage issues. Maybe this weekend I start putting some epoxy on the parts I'm done with. That and keeping up with the grass mowing takes all my time.

Getting ready to head to Road America in Wisconsin to race this weekend, leaving Thrusday moring. There's a lot of prep to do still - I'm in the middle of it right now. After that, I'll be getting ready to go to the BTS open house next weekend. It's gonna be a fun couple of weekends, but I think I'll be ready for a rest after that. Plus, I'm still balancing work around in there somewhere.

I spray painted the inards of my truck. Now my engine bay looks pretty. Check out the last picture in my gallery. I'm proud, so don't make fun.

Nothing much here, yard work and the usual stuff. Oh, and I got the Tank back, finally. Had the carb rebuilt and it runs real good now, just an occasional sputter. Hope for good weather Saturday!

Saturday looks to be hot, but clear here. I assume St. Louis will be the same as the Kansas City Area. There's not been any precip here, so you probably won't be seeing anything.

It can't be. I must be dreaming. Jeff are you saying that on Saturday you'll be driving the truck?

Sorry I haven't been on much. With the warm season I have been soooo busy. My boy just turned 4 weeks old today. Ford Accessories has been getting busy again and so has my business.

I'm seriously thinking about dropping the sponsorship of FTE May 1st. If I do so I will still be here on the forums.
