Awaiting the final decision

Great garage scene Walt!

I see you got your Stude parking sign, but where's the one for Unis?? Comeon, she's probably already jealous that you added a new one to the harem, give the ol' girl a break!

Great looking pair, Walt. Is it going to become a Studelac??? Are we going to see some Weld Wheels on the Roadster???

We got a bit more progress on the Ranchero. Set in the mock-up motor and did some roughing in on some more seams. The motor plates for the engine should be in this week, the I'll start on getting them mounted and the upper A-Arm mounts built. Lots of room for headers and everything else under the hood.

Sails pace for the "Z" but fall is coming, so historically that usually means more available time.

Working on the rear brakes. Slow goin'.

Grand- daughter was instruemental in sign placement, ha.
Progress in past few days - Stude moved to work bay, elevated and interior removed, stripping down to bare bones for evaluation and final analysis. Still vacilating as to what will propell this dream of mine. As to harem- Stude is now called Annie, found on our anniversery date... appropos!
Unis after cruise time this weekend is now over in the last bay comtemplating new paws. "Welds" a possibility.
Dave. A Arm mounts you mention would be welcome in lieu of my transverse cushions.
Have a great time with what is left of the weekend,my Redhead wants to ride before snowballs.
Looking great ProZ

The Maro is really looking good, Pro. Hope you get a bit more time to get back on it, gonna be a rocket !!

Walt, Studeleac would be way kewl!!!!! Let me know if you want to upgrade the front suspension, I have some good parts sources for you to check out.

Thanks Walt, Dave.
Looks like we'll all have projects this winter.

I went for visitation with my 57 Plymouth on Thursday (it's in the body shop ).

The works not going real fast but it is steady progress. Now that about 1/2 the paints off the car and I can see the metal, I'm VERY happy about how solid the car is overall.

Hey Mike, great news !!! At least you do have visitation rights!!!!

Hang in there pro70, every little bit adds up. We are going to have some great advances this winter, I can feel it. Pro, that engine is going to be mean huh?

I mounted a couple new chrome goodies on my engine today along with new shocks on the rear. My next thing to do will be clean and paint everything that isn't already underneath the car. I want to get that done before it gets too cold. Can you tell I live on a gravel road by that pic?

Brickman, not only can I tell you live on a gravel road, I can tell that that gravel dust will probably find it's way back on the rod. Heeheee. Been there, done that. But it's not a bad thing. Other rodders will definitely know that you drive your car.

I hear that oldf100fordman, it has been so dry here in southern Missouri this summer that the dust just hangs like a cloud all over town.But what the heck, thats why there is car wash goodies.

Got the hood back on the Ranchero, need to build some bushings for the hinges to make it fit tighter, maybe this week start fabbing the cowl induction scoop. Just more slow and steady progress. I guess that is better than no progress at all!!!!

Spent the afternoon blocking and primering the hood for Bill's Firebird..

PS. The broom stick for a prop rod is only temporary!!!!!
