Hey Dave,

Great to hear from you. Glad you had a good time with the grandkids. I got to hang with my nieces & nephews in Okla. recently and it was great fun.

Sounds like you're making some progress on your car. You may get that thing painted before summer's over afterall! I hope so. I'm anxious to see that color.

I have been cleaning & painting the underside of mine lately. I pulled the engine & trans back out after fitting my steering column and various other things. The underside isn't show quality but it's good clean driver quality. It would be way too hard to make my chassis "show quality" anyway! That will have to wait until I can get a nice new chassis someday. I'm about ready to bolt the R&P and front sway bar back on. I still need to finish smoothing out the welds around the firewall then I can bolt the engine back in and proceed toward firing it up! It's always a much longer process than you plan for but given my restrictive working conditions, I think I'm doing pretty good.

The 37 ragtop pic is interesting. I would definitely toss those rims & tires if it were mine but it's not....LOL!

Will post some new pics in a day or two. My neighbor has borrowed my camera.

Take care. talk soon.
Randy
