Project updates
It's been busy the last couple of months. The kids custody battle is just about over and things are back to about level again. I took a temp job (should be over in a couple of weeks....... so much for semi retired), the refinancing on the house came through and we sold the wifes Cobra II (her idea). The end result is....
I bought the 37 Dodge PU back : Current plans are to put it on the back burner until I get the 57 Plymouth done, but it's now back home.
I've managed to put the parts I had on hand for the 57 Plymouth on it. It now has rebuilt front and rear suspensions, front disc brakes, a 9 1/4" 4.10 Posi and the new brake and clutch peddles are installed. I'm on a holding pattern getting the V8 motormounts installed until I get the pieces to mount the tranny on the block so I can center everything prior to welding (I have a friend in Florida whos going to be sending what I need up but unfortunatly Charlie, Francis, and now Ivan are not helping matters, he lives just outside of Melborne and has some other priorities right now). In the mean time I keep checking E Bay for the missing trim pieces I need.
And last but not least, my wife who somehow puts up with me misses her Cobra II (god knows why ) so I'm going to fix up the 74 Mustang II for her. Not too much to do on that, change it to an automatic, add AC and a paint job.
AND LIFE ROLLS ON
