Well Folks,my son and a couple of his strong arms are coming over so we can pull the body off and start putting the frame together.I just about have all the suspension and cross member materials to start welding the parts in.I'm using the same straight front axle that I got for my High School graduation,[thanks Dad].It is a CAE unit that they used on the old Fuel altered rockets in the 60's.,Real cool vintage stuff,I have only seen one guy running one and it looked real neat to me.Can't wait to get it rolling.I just about figured where I want the engine trans placement.I'm getting ready to cut some of the floor board,that my father had hand made for me many,many moons ago.I'll post some flicks soon as I begin the trans/engine future home.Thanks for looking,Paisano
ps- Panhead's getting tickets for Englishtown next month so a few of us old farts will be going up there to get our NITRO FIX !

Spring Carlisle-2010
Saturday at Carlisle was pretty cool!Panhead Phil &and I got there about 9:30 am,a lot of people were thinking the same thing we were.It was crowded,but manageable.Started lookin' for bargains to be had.Found a few that I thought was fair pricing plus[didn't have to pay shipping cost].I was happy with what I bought.Still looking for a nice 33 Ford grille without having to double mortgage the house for.I'll keep lookin.Took a couple pictures of the scenery.That's me with that "cutie" from a Rust Proofing Co.that was trying to sell its ware. [Don't worry,I'm harmless &and,not a dirty old man].In the lower right is Panhead Phil thinking those are "Bourbon" bottles behind him.I wonder what goes on his mind sometimes.
And on the upper right is a basic scene of what's going on.I think it would have taken 2 days to have seen everthing,but not enough time,as "Jamoc" my wife, would not let me loose on my own for that long.[Yes dear].Over all,I thought the prices were pretty good this year.I usually look on line to get a basic idea of what were look'n for and price wise and go from there.I thought I did ok.
