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.
