    Good news Don, I don't have to have the pacemaker replaced yet. It wasn't a low battery alarm, the PM couldn't find my heart led thats all, they reset it now I'm back in business. Any update on painting the body. I know your working on the other sons car, but don't let this get away from your dead line.

    That's fantastic Brad. What a relief for you. I know when I've gotten good news like that it's like the best gift in the world. I'm really happy for you.

    No, I still have some things to do, but they shouldn't be very hard to finish up in time. I figure Dan and I will get him to the point where his car has all the tough stuff done and he will have a shot at getting it finished up by November, then I'll get back on mine.

    Thanks Denny, I thought my bunny gave up because it was giving me an alarm that sounded like a truck backing up. All my customers that week freaked everytime it sounded. They say the battery is good for another year, that will make nine years since install.

    It's been a week since Don's last post... Do you suppose he's in the slammer for copyright violation??

    Hehe, no, they tried to nail me, but I blamed it on senility. Works every time.

    Haven't had much to post, been working on the Kids T. Last night I got his floor and seat risers all glassed in, and the night before I got his new wheels painted. He went with Ford Grabber Blue, and I have to admit it is not too shabby. His T is coming along really well. Dan just has to weld in the battery box and a couple of brake tabs before we can prep and paint it. (Yep, I'm back to glassing and painting again ) Don works 5 days a week and plays 6 nights a week, so he gets little time to come help. He and I are going to hit on it hard tomorrow.......he's off.

    I took some pictures of the wheels, but I somehow lost my new camera that Dan bought for me. I really am upset at myself for doing that, and don't know how I did it. Took the pictures, put it back in the case, and when I got home I realized I didn't have it. I've torn up the house and shop, but can't find it anywhere. I'm going back to the shop tonight to do some more glassing and look again.

    As for my T, now I can get it outside to finish painting it. Don sold his Capri and moved all of his household stuff from his portion of the shop, so now I can get it out the door. Just have to spot putty some places and prime once more before I shoot it with black.

    I do have a little mechanical glitch to clear up.......I noticed a small spot of engine oil dripping down from the timing cover. It didn't happen right away, and I don't know if the crank seal has just not seated yet, or if it is because I bought a chrome cover. I have heard bad things about aftermarket chrome covers, so maybe that is what is going on.

    My starter is still giving me some issues. Last night I went to start it for a friend of my Son's who stopped over, and it was grinding. Not sure if it was due to a low battery or that I need to check the shimming again. For it being a pretty costly gear reduction starter I shouldn't be having all of the problems I have had with it. For years I have just bolted on an AutoZone quality starter and they worked flawlessly.

    So, if I find my camera I will at least be able to post some pictures again. Thanks for wondering about me..........now, if you will excuse me, I have to see if I can get this electric ankle bracelet off.

    I FOUND MY CAMERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dan must have picked it up by mistake because we both have exactly the same camera and black case. It was lying on the kitchen counter when I just went in there. What a relief.

    Anyway, here are the wheels I painted for Don's T a couple days ago. He is a Mustang fan, and loves Mach I's, so he is painting it Grabber Blue. I really had to do little more than scuff them, Coker sells Wheel Vintiques and they were nice right out of the box. We slipped on a hubcap and trim ring later on, and they look good dressed out.

    I know how losing things goes, Don... Lost my glasses today, looked all around the shop for them, no luck.... Finally found them about 15 minutes later hanging from that little chain thing around my neck that attaches to the earpieces on my safety glasses!!!!!!!!!

    Wheels look great! Getting close to test ride time yet?
