Another week has come and gone... Its Friday!

The older I get the quicker these weeks are clicking by. It seems like an hour ago that I started last weeks its Friday thread! So while It is Friday and Im looking forward to tonight when the young guns will be by to work on their rides, it is always ententaining to hang with them and give time tested advice! :LOL: If I play my cards right I might be able to play the Tom Sawer's card and get some help replacing the forklift water pump tonight :cool:.

Saturday is catch up day for the seat orders placed these past few weeks.

Sunday is Church and tinker on the boat. I need to pull the outdrive and install new rubber throughout. The exhaust bellows are going to be a major pain on the 302 so a few hours of church should put me in the right frame of mind for the nasty job especially when things go south! LOL :rolleyes:

Maybe we should tell what we got accomplished last week rather than what we hope to do this weekend? Might be a whole different story! :eek:

Me we have 4 grandkids here all under 4. Enough said

Family - Get kids to the pool, chocolate store, and some board like game. Truck - try and start welding one floor panel in. Remove dented fenders. Sand on new fenders and hood. Crush old gas tank. Clean the garage. Make short chord with plug to go male 240 to two female 120s.

LOL... Enough Said
:eek: :LOL: **) :whacked: :CRY:
Have a wonderful weekend!

Ouch - - and even worse is you don't drink anymore - - - LOL - - - enjoy enjoy enjoy enjoy

As for me, I'm still trying to figure out if I can go with 15" Cragars on the Fairlane. If my son and grandson will let me pull two off of his Mustang to see if they will work then my problem would be solved and I could place my order.

Regardless of what Y'all do, "Have a Good'un" - - - meller

On that note I picked up a couple original Cragars not long ago with a new set of Hoosier dot cheater slicks on them... I got them home and realized they were 16"? I didnt even know they made 16" C's back in the day? Anyway they will fit nicley under the rear of the 63 pro street sprint Falcon. I cant find specs of anytype on these wheels any where... Any Cragar Gurus here?

I have 3 kids 3 and under so I know how much you'll be able to get done Charlie! :LOL:

I hope to get something done on my 72 and Sunday I have to do wheel seals, bearings, and brakes on the town's fire truck. Yee haw!!!

BobX3 - I agree with finding data on those Cragars and my one eyed vision sure ain't helping the googling either - - - another factor that I face with the Furd is that the original wheels were 13s so they weren't planning on any expansion of any kind it seems LOL

Gonna be a laid-back weekend for us; Sunday is the mid-winter Christmas dinner for the Taranaki Morris Minor Club at the Stony River Hotel, (which I wouldn't miss for quids; those people are crazy!) and on Monday we fly out initially to Auckland, from there to LA, then on to Heathrow, and from there to Glasgow.

I'm picking She Who Must Be Obeyed and I will be looking for a cigarette, a beer, and a bed by then!

Have safe travels Johnboy!

Heck yeah, just a kick back weekend! :eek:

Friday night (Tonight)... Get back into town around 10pm and finish making my battery cables on the 32, take a lot more measurements for my custom Bengels seat :) , and then sit and stare at the truck for several hours.

Saturday... Go pick up my Mig from my Father-In-Laws place and get to filling holes on the cab of the 32.

Sunday... Try like hell to find something to do so I don't have to go to the meeting with the florist for our wedding.

Thanks!

We will!

(We're not flying with an Indonesian airline, we're going Air New Zealand!)

I've got a work project that has become ugly and is sucking the life outta me..:mad:

My version of SWMBO has created a list since I've been ignoring her because of work.. :( hot rod??? oh yeah.. well... maybe?? sigh..:HMMM::HMMM::confused:

I'm still in a bit of a funk about the '33 putting me on the roadside, and riding three hours home in a flatbed tow truck. I haven't washed the bugs off from the mis-adventure two weeks ago and have only driven it twice since it went back together. Thought about cleaning it up yesterday and running in to a Friday night cruise at a south KC hangout, but got called mid-day to help one of the boys who's moving into a new house this weekend and didn't get home in time, plus it started looking/sounding like we were going to get another storm.... We're in a weather pattern of potential thunderstorms that makes planning difficult. Looking like it could bust loose any minute again this morning so I may venture out to the barn and try to get some welding done on the '32 steering drop mount.

Not much accomplished this week. Monday and Tuesday were road days coming back from SoCal dragging the newly acquired '39 beater sedan. And since I still had rental time on the trailer picked up a '32 Ford Model B chassis and began tearing that down to see what I'd really bought value wise. Half of Thursday got lost to plumbing project. And the rest of time....................hell, I can't tell you what ate that up. Last night cruise in was fun though. Those that get the beater vibe enjoyed the '39, but it's not everyone's cup of tea.

One of the best post I've ever read on this forum... :D But that last line really busted me up. Be sure Mama doesn't read this or she will remember and remind you of your excitement for making wedding plans for the rest of your life! :LOL::LOL::LOL: You will learn.**)

Just a beat up ol' car for a beat up ol' man............

She's a beauty Bob, looks like real keeper in my mind! Driver side sure looks like its in great shape. Love the spots as well... Thanks for the pics!

Yeah Bob 1/3, it was love at first sight. The fresh 276 59ab, rebuilt trans, mostly new dropped suspension, new brakes, and recent interior and glass make it a comfy driver. And the seller threw in the extra doors free!:whacked:

Say what you will about the doors... Only car Snobs are stuck on only having 2 of them! The three of us sure like it, specially Fat Bob, He's also know as back seat Bob.

Uncle Bob,,that's a neat ol' beater.. Wish our ''beater'' finds were as good as that one..
as far as the weekend goes,,it went..............
Went north to see my semi aged mother on Friday, for the weekend,which coincided with a swapmeet that we normally attend,,which is the aftermath of the rodrun that we don't attend... ;) Stopped on the way up,to pick up the new windshield for the F100,which was waiting for us,and continued into Tauranga.. Work on cars around here,seems to have ground to a halt temporarily,until we have the new engine back from the dude who has built it for us,for the Customline..Then,,it will be all go..This coming weekend will be likely spent on the F100 to get it up to scratch so I can use it again.. ;) And,,yup,,the year is going far too quickly for me,too..

I did OK as well... Friday night the boys came over with Pizza and beer in their hands. After eating and enjoying some good fellowship over a few silver bullets they grabbed the tools and got after my forklift water pump. Didn't get ur done but made a huge dent in it and I should be able to finish it up on my own soon. Saturday made it to the shop and cranked out some things that had to be done. SEATS, SEATS, and more SEATS. Sunday I got a good ear full at Church went home and took a nap never to making it to the boat... But the relaxation and BBQ was just about as fulfilling. Oh well theres always next weekend. :D
