Well, good news and bad news.

The good news is my booth is put together. Everything is made that needs to be made and polished that needs to be polished and painted that needs to be painted. ...it's done.

.....but I didn't even look at the truck today. .....and my friend will be here at 1100 to load it up. I guess I'll be at the shop before the sun tomorrow.

In that case, I would go classic NON car show style vehicle and take if thru a big ol mud puddle and then take it there.

Like I did with the Bronco at the Off Road Jamboree.

Physical Therapy this morning, then just two weeks left. Looking forward to a road trip Saturday to help our chapter leader clean out his grand parents barn. He's giving away what is sounds like a pretty good size air compressor that his grandfather used. It's in as is condition but if it doesn't work, we're taking the tank and going to start making a large smoker out of it. Another member has an axle for it. But it'll at least be a day out of the house helping a friend.
Tim did finally get him a job that he's started this week at a local restaurant. I've had a couple of hit's on some Snap On stuff, but people sure want to steal tools. A $50 bill will not get you a $400 impact, sorry
Y'all have a good day


Unk Bob

Thanks Rich, I'm working on paying stuff at the moment and keeping my junkers on the road. I'll do a quick inventory this weekend to see what I need for it. I have the carburetor off and hard parts soaking in lacquer thinner.

Morning all.

Still hacking and coughing here with only minor improvements over the last few days. New meds have helped, but not enough to be released back to work. If you smell something burning, that's my sick leave balance going up in flames.

Jesse passed the driven test Tuesday and the oldest was supposed to take it by the end of this week, but has procrastinated and forgot to set it up. I now have yet another reason that the '87 has to be back on the road...

Evening All!

The truck is in the convention center and the "booth" is set up. The guy running it seriously needs to buy a tape measure. He allotted me a 10' X 20' space for my booth AND the truck. My whole booth that was planned out to a T was scrapped and I had to reconfigure everything. Not to mention steal some space from two aisles. I got the Ford Edge color sanded and buffed and delivered this morning. I also washed the truck when it was 38 degrees outside. I had to come home and change or I was going to freeze to death. RC showed up and helped a ton get everything moved up there and set up. I also managed to get the front seat for the '73 this morning.

We loaded up the truck on time and made it to the convention center before a ton of people got there, but it was still REALLY tight getting the truck back there.

Here's the interior of the '73 now.



...and my booth at the man show. I'm in the far back corner by the bathrooms.
