Swap meet sounds good,Dave..I would love to lay my hands on a few old 4speeds to throw in the corner.. I have a fetish for cars with three pedals again.. Try to mow the lawns tomorrow...could be the last time for a few months,,depending on the weather down here.. always something to do,,just got to figure out where to start..

Up early,aren't you,Dave?? 4.05AM,in your neck of the woods??

Saturday (if the weather co-operates) we've been doing some work to the shop exterior. So I'll continue with that.

Sunday I have to run up to New Hampshire with the dash to have the woodgraining re-done. The original shop just can't do it without spots and blemishes so I found one that will fix the mess. Then maybe I can get the car back together and finish the intake work.

I am driving into the big smoke of Auckland City tomorrow, actually out west Auckland to pick up some Hot Rod Magazines that another rodder purchased over our Trade me site, like your EBay,. Once I get them home I will go through them and then with the large box of old magazines I have already pickup for Clive, I will cruize down to his place to deliever to his place down in the centre of the Island. Looking forward to just getting out and away for a couple of hours from the full time care of Mum.

Yeah, after another week of cool, damp weather it's getting better today into the weekend. Nothing big planned, Grandma is up north with the twins & little Avery giving daughter and SIL a week away from parenting so Bones & I are bachelor room mates. Steering column, u-joints, shaft & a support should be on the BBT coming from Summit later today, so may play with getting the column in the roadster. Didn't get the drop yet as I have to do some fab work to extend the support steel back to the dash, too. May work on that today, but also have a few hours of mowing that's needing to be done.

Chris and I are going to a antique flea market up in the thumb Sat.. I have that 66 Mustang in the shop and it really dose need work (10 years since run). So my weekend is full up. Are power steering and power brakes available for this Mustang???

Yes, Rock Auto lists both a power booster and power steering components for the '66 Mustang.

Many repo parts vendors for Mustangs plus evilbay. I would also change to a dual master cylinder if you haven't done so already. I'm going to change mine to a 67 or 68.

We'll be spending the weekend out at the ballpark again; Granddaughter Bella's team, The Dirtbags, (10 - 11 year olds) fast pitch softball, has done quite well this early season, and last weekend they played four games in a tournament, and started playoffs on Wednesday, continuing Saturday and Sunday, at least four more games, two each day.

Oh to have a life... What is that like? This weekend I need to Modify a customers trailer and build 3 Model A Seat Frames. All this in a steel Quonset Hut and 90 degree weather. What the heck ever happened to the "April showers brings May flower" thing? Hot and dry here in So Cal!
Enjoy your weekend everyone and be safe!

Did you mean Quonset Hut?

Did a lot of spring cleanup around the yard, cut up downed tree, picked up pasture got lawn picked up and mowed ( kids were involved in all of this by the way ) beautiful day for sure. I still had time to hook up my new Speedhut GPS speedometer and try it out. It works great by the way. Were is the swap meet at in Sioux Falls? I need some inner fender wells for my 53. Mine are chopped up beyond repair.

Yeah... Guess I went into the phonetic mode for a second. Why even use spell checker if you guys can figure it out that quick? LOL I went back and edited the post and fixed the damage.

Well, I got an extra day handed to me this afternoon: our girls crashed and burned in the first two rounds of a double elimination tourney. Two games back to back, the second one immediately after the first, against a fresh team, in 90 plus degree heat and dry wind. They were good games, though; ten - eleven year old girls can sometimes do some pretty amazing things with a softball and an aluminum bat; if only they were consistent. It will come with experience, though. So, their season is over; they will start back again in August as 12 - 13 year old section of the league. During the summer off season, a bunch of us parents/grandparents have arranged for batting cage sessions for those who want to participate individually, and will work on their conditioning and skills with them; they can't practice formally as a team according to league by-laws, but this will keep most of them sort of on and in their game. This is a pretty hard on me now, with my granddaughter, but I still am enjoying it. Thirty years ago, with her dad and uncle, it didn't even faze me, but age and fast, hard living do ultimately take their toll on a body, and i can't do anything with her as it relates to softball that requires me to move very much; i walk with a cane, now, and shagging balls or doing anything that will throw me off balance is simply out of the question. But I can feed a pitching machine, and sit on a stool behind a net and pitch, and I can throw, so I suppose I can get her some workouts in.

I meant no direspect nor was I trying to pick on you! It just didn't "look right" and I was making an assumption after seeing pictures of your shop. But then I didn't know if you were trying to have a play on words....

You didn't need to do the editting... but thanks for the effort! 8-)
