Well everyone, I guess I'm back. These last few weeks since my last entry have been a real roller coaster ride.
First it was health problems, then it was high school graduation and teenager issues. The health problems turned out OK, but the teenager issues are ongoing.
Actually though,I have managed to get a few things done on the T, but not as much as I had hoped.
Here's a quick list:
The fuel and brake lines are plumbed.
I swapped the front discs out for 39 Lincoln self-energizing drums just 'cause I think they look better.
I fabbed some supports for the header mufflers .
The 3x2 setup from Hot Rod Carburetion came in and it sure is purty.
Right now I'm in the process of getting my serial number and title from the state. I'm about ready for paint and finish work, but I really can't start that until the state gets through with the inspection process. That shouldn't take more than a couple of weeks if I'm lucky.
Oh, one other thing, I picked up a metal lathe and vertical bandsaw for my shop. The lathe is an 11" x 24" Sheldon. Small yes, but campared to the 6" x 20" Atlas I've been using, it's down right huge. The bandsaw is a 14" Delta for metal and wood. The saw will come in handy as I've gotten real tired of converting my Harbor Freight saw back and forth from vertical to horizontal. Still need to get them moved, though.
I'll try to get some pictures up ASAP.
I did not know Mike very well, we exchanged some messages from time to time but from what I understand he was a very good man. I was sad to learn about this
