Got some work done tonight....

Unfortunatly on the wrong dang vehicle! I had the evening planned out for things me and my buddy were going to knock out on the roadster. So I back my truck up in the driveway so I could roll the body buck out, and notice a wet spot where my truck was parked. After futher investigation I found my water pump was leaking So once again the roadster had to take the back seat, pretty much how my build has been going lately

The Beat Goes On!

I have had similar things come up that kept me from putting all my "spart time" into my build. There are no limits as to what can get in the way.

I hope yours takes less time that mine. I have been at it for over 10 years. I hope to be running very soon (I've given up on making a prediction as rash as "I'll be done next month" to "it'll be done when it's done").

Good luck and happy building.

Regards, Rick.

I feel you pain. Spent yesterday replacing a rusted brake line on my Jeep. Brakes are really under rated!

yup, yup, I definitely feel your pain. Between a full time job, master's classes, and everything at home, my weekends rarely go as planned. It looks like you are pretty dang far along! I haven't even finished hanging the front suspension yet. lol. I figure if I can keep working on the car 4-6 hrs a week, I will eventually get there.
