Good time, so far
Well, I finally got the F-2 out of winter storage, it only took me two years. Last year I just couldn't get it out of storage because of my work load.
This year I got the panel up and running. There a few things that need to be done before it's ready for a tear down for paint but I've been able to bomb around with it.
The F-2 needs work. When I took it out of the shed this morning it had no brakes, zero, zilch, nada. I'll have to get it up on jack stands and tear into the brake system and find the problem. But at least it's out of storage, it feels good to have the old girl in the shed by the house.
Here's a picture of both of them together in the shed. We had some bad weather come through tonight so we had to cram them in a little tight, I'll rearrange a little tomorrow.

Scott,
It's storming again as I write this, man, we're going to be devoured by mosquitoes this summer with all of this rain. Anything with a cement floor is just soaked from the humidity.
I like to whine to people that I'm so poor that the average age of my vehicles is over 50 years old and I live in a house that is over 150 years old.
Oh yeah, it's pretty neat to walk out there and see both of them parked next to each other

Bob,
That's a nice set of siblings, junior and big brother. I can only dream about your shop space, regardless of how much machinery you're storing.
I hear you on the rain, we've had over two weeks of showers and storms, gave up on totaling the inches.
Good weather for being inside, twisting wrenches and listening to 50's tunes.
Bob, do you have an exploded view of the emergency brake and cabling, I'm going to start mine within the week.
Later

Jon,
Eventually they'll all be red with beige grills with stainless grill trim. All of them will have my company signage too. I even have the stainless windshield trim for the other two, you can't see it too good on the F-2 in the above picture. I also have the radios for all three although only one works. The other two I plan to somehow rig up an Ipod into.
They'll all look pretty sharp together.
