Howdy Steve...hope ya'll are enjoying the snow. The rain/snow hasn't started at the Fort yet...but I can see it on the radar out in Okie land. Just a matter of time if it holds together.

Heard my '61 breathe fire for the first time today! Not ready for the road by a long shot, but at least I know it's gonna run.

Yup, that kinda went through my head. Glad that's out of the way. Now to tackle swapping the rear end and getting a drive shaft made...then there's welding up the gaping hole in the floor cut by a previous owner(swapped in a 4 sp), fixing the dash wiring...and...and...and...

I remember firing up the 66' after it had sat up for so long, Open headers.. oh yeah! Living out in BFE has its advantages sometimes.

Dad built his place in 83 with pvc and cpvc, only places he's had trouble since are the copper air dams he used. The well water ate them up.

I used all cpvc, but I'm not a big fan of the plastic male/female threaded fittings, so I used these brass transition unions..




Time will only tell if it was a good decision or not.. Although when I first hooked everything up, I forgot I needed a pressure regulator.

I don't know how much pressure exactly there was, but it pegged my 120psi gauge and the only leak i had was on the steel threads on the shower head.

I wouldn't say it was a good month or bad one...just an interesting one. Time will tell in a couple of weeks if February was a good month.

It's a 20' dovetail, 10K. Our trucks pretty well max it out.
