A little improvement, but maybe tell Mary Dr. MW has prescribed some specific "relaxation techniques"




Either that or she just told you you're going to be a daddy......

I know that I looked better in 1970 than I do now.

For years in construction, the running joke was that on potentially rainy days, we would end the workday once my hair was a mess from the rain.

I didn't realize you were a plumber, thought you were a framer. Guess I was wrong.

Even though warmer weather is coming, I’m going to hook up the heater. I have the hoses and clamps. I think my cables are flip flopped so I need to swap them. I couldn’t find a clear graphic in the FSM as to which cable from the control panel attaches to which lever. The lever to the door on the left is sticky. This bent one of the cables.
I know that this is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic since I don’t intend to keep this heater box in place.
I’m on the lookout for upper rear side pads to replace the metal ones. Soon I’ll post a WTB thread.

That needs a nice coat of b5 blue,and a black tailstripe!

 

[Cheapsunglasses]

Nah, it’s Joe Dirts cousin

Still running great and it starts whenever I try the key.
Next month, I'm entering it in the Sacramento Autorama alongside the red car...

No, I have no illusions of winning any trophy. I just wanted to display them side by side to show how many project cars start out and how some look when finished.

 

[Bighouse]

Let us know which one gets more attention!

 

[Cheapsunglasses]

That is a great idea, before and after. And it’ll show, it doesn’t matter all cars are welcome. Have fun!

 

[6PKRTSE]

I like them both. The beater look always gets my attention.

 

[Moparfiend]

Great idea KD. You would hope it inspires and garners respect for our hobby and work. Funny though we spend hundreds of hours and tons of our hard earned cash often only to get more attention on a car that hasn’t been touched lol.
