Gonna be a busy couple weeks yet for me, head over to Crystal Lake for another skating competition this weekend, then next weekend have the big swap meet in Cedar Rapids that I think I am going to try and unload some stuff so I can buy some other stuff... Then Sunday I have to skip on the second day and go to yet one more skating competition in Des Moines.
Picked up a windshield for the old Mustang today, then the old guy is going to get the front valence off for me. I need to go look, I think I still need the front bumper as well, should check and see if he has a useable one... He has a beautiful show/driver, this is one that he decided wasn't saveable. My flors and rear frame are gone for the most part, but the front clip is in great shape, and the main body is still good. I found frame rails at half the cost but better strength through S&W Race Cars, so I will go full tube instead of open channel.

Morning everyone, been a busy weekend, going back into another busy weekend... Daughter placed 3rd, competition was tough. She did well, as well as all the others did. Considering most of them have been training and competing for at least 4 years more, pretty darn good. Next weekend is at the Wells Fargo Arena, so that could be interesting competing in that huge arena.
