Drive safe, Bobby, and enjoy your time with her. My daughter is 21, too; the second biggest love of my life. Dont forget to take pictures!

I didn't get near as much done as I would have liked. I spent most of the day stripping the 48 Dodge I'm parting out because I sold a bunch of stuff from it. I did get one side of the front floor patched and tacked in.

That really looks solid, Bobby. Cant wait to see you tear into it!

[bluestang67]

It needs work but it is in great shape for 71 . Lots of new parts with it and doubles of guages and such . But all in all it will be fun now to get my 31 on ebay so i have inside room for this .

Oh i see the progress your making on the floor is coming along great to have the extra parts around .

Selling all those parts paid off; here's the latest new shop tool:

Nice big compressor. Love new tools!

Falcon nice addition new ones have so much more cfm now days for the home compressors . My old campbell is 12 at 40 and 10 at 90 . Some of the new HVLP guns require more then i can supply . Maybe someday i'll have to sell something . Sure looks great sitting there getting ready to puff some air out .

Thanks! Now just finding the time to bolt it down, run power from the panel on the other side of the garage, hook up the dryer. We're in the last few weeks of volleyball and football season with the kids so between that and our band we've been on the run every night. I'm ready for a break. A little good news on the band front; there's a small producer in Branson who's going to pay for some recording studio time for us and try to help push a few of our songs to the christian radio stations so keep your fingers crossed for us.

I spent most of the time I could squeeze in this past week hooking up my compressor and dryer. I did get a bit of a start on the other side of the floor. Too bad the weekend is over.

hay falcon congrats on the new compressor BUT and you will notice the big BUT if that copper tubing is your main supply line it looks way too small you need at least 1 in id for for use of air tools ...ted

[falconvan]

I thought it might be, too. The dryer I have is from a building I used to work at and was actually for control air on the HVAC system so it only had 3/8 lines going in and out. But my air grinder likes it so far. I ran it about 45 minutes today and it didnt have any problems keeping up. That's the tool I have that has the biggest cfm draw. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Falcon you planning some snow already . See the shovel on stand buy , man reminds me winter is coming maybe I better service the snow blower early this year . See you are still getting the floor done with some new metal .
