progress

Got a little farther on my '60 project this summer. Even got the beast to start after the rebuild. Truck Project :: it starts !! video by bassn1 - Photobucket Still waiting on the radiator so I can't run it long. Just nice to know it works.
updated my gallery too. We got an inch of snow on the ground today so I guess summers over and I 'll have more time to work it.

We had such a beautiful and mild summer here in IA, I just knew we would have to pay for it somehow. My fellow midwestern peeps know what I am talking about... We woke up to snow this morning, though its not sticking around long. Still the point has been made by mother nature.... get what you need to get done, done, before long you wont have an opportunity!

I need to move my 53 frame over to the side of the gargae and tip it up, then secure it to the wall. give the grass one last mow then take take the deck off and mount the snow blower.

After that, done till spring.... *sigh*

I need to insulate my garage next spring so I can work through the winters.... who wants to help?!

Nows the time to insulate,next spring you should be working on your truck. Seriously, a couple weekends you'd have it insulated and be able to work on it all winter,that's when I have the most time anyways unless you don't have a heat source.

Your project is coming along nicely and unfortunately we had our first fall of snow as well, not that it is likely to stay but need to get some things in order before it decides to.
