Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

mine gets blurry when the batteries start to die. And my camera eats batteries like crazy.

"I'm still getting blurry pictures with the new camera. Have to read the instruction manual and see what I'm doing wrong. Maybe I need a tripod. But here is the driveshaft in all it's blurry glory."

Put your glasses on....

Well there's your problem

JUst got back in from loading some stuff in the car for the trip on Tuesday.....can't do that without a couple of beers

Looked at the pictures just a few seconds ago and they look great now.

I think I have the problem solved. On this one, it works best to just push the button all the way down, and a second later it snaps it for you. I think I was double exposuring the thing by holding it half way down.


We have a new member of the family.......well, till Monday, anyways. Dan was on the way to the shop today and when he was sitting at a traffic light he saw something scurry under the car in front of him. At first he thought it was a rat, but then realized it was a little kitten. He made the driver sit there while he climbed under her car and retreived the little guy. It had climbed into the inside of the car wheel, and one revolution would have crushed it against the caliper.

Poor thing is scared to death, and I just gave him a saucer of milk which he drank down in a heartbeat. I think someone left him off, and lucky for him Dan was there. In fact, we named him Lucky.

Dan already has two cats, and so do I, therefore we can't keep him. Monday I will take him to the Animal Rescue League. They do not put animals to sleep if they are not adopted, but just keep them forever if need be. I adopted both of mine from there.

He's a cute little devil, and should steal someones heart. He will have no trouble being adopted, I'm sure. Looks like he is going to be sort of long haired. Here is a picture on my UNBLURRY camera.

Yeah, I love them too. They really don't ask much of us, and give so much loyalty in return. I'm starting to worry.......this one is beginning to grow on me. How could you refuse a face like this?


Don

Come on Don, 3 rod's and only 2 cat's. New home, new cat. Old people collect cat's, it all add's up.

Ron

We've all heard the stories of the "cat lady" who has like 50 of them........no way I can turn into the "cat guy."

Besides, these things live like 20 years............the darned thing would outlive me.

Don

I'd take him off your hands but it's too far to drive right now. Unless I find an a refrinery in my back yard.

Don, the thing looks sweet man, I have been comming in here reading the posts and such but not responding but I just wanted to tell you that I like the orange. When I thought about doing a 27 or a T I wanted to do it in that orange as well after I saw the picture of Circle City Hot Rod's old T they sold or was supposed to. I can't wait to see the end result. I am still slowly getting parts and putting them to the side for a 27 build. I got a 9 inch ford rear housing not too long ago and will have the center chunk for it soon and 31 spline axles too (free of charge), I have the 302 and 3 speed tranny. Maybe one day I will be in the stage of the build that your at now. One at a time though.

BTW, that aluminum T box is very cool and VERY different. Odd looking but that is what makes it look cool.

Thanks alot FMX. I finally feel like it is getting close to being a car. Can't wait to see yours when you start.


That phonebooth T is pretty cool. The part that makes it nice is that he is going to use it as the shop truck. He said he built the bed heavy and long so he can throw driveshafts right in it. I think he is even putting a/c in it, if I'm not mistaken. He must have miles of tig welds joining all that aluminum together, not to mention the cost of the aluminum itself. I was impressed.

I'm going to divert for a while and start back on the body. I have to fiberglass the underside of it, then I can finish up the cockpit and dash. Once that is out of the way, I can begin prepping the body for paint.

My buddy, the bodyman, is kind of iffy right now. He just had serious neck surgery and the Dr doesn't want him lifting or moviing much for 3 months. So I think I am going to prep and paint it myself. Not sure about that yet, but I bet once I start on the body I will just keep going till it's done.

Then I can finish up the brakes and brake lines, cooling lines, fuel lines, etc. By this next weekend this moving thing should be out of the way, and I can get back on the T full time.
