Getting there, Mike! Got it mostly done over the weekend and finished up in time to roll her outside in the late afternoon light for some portraits

Got most everything done yesterday. Did Stovebolt stuff all morning and then remounting the mirrors took all afternoon, believe it or not. Well... remounting the driver's side mirror took about 2 hours. The passenger side mirror took about 15 minutes. The problem was that none of the holes would line up correctly on the bottom cross piece and the holes were slightly boogered. My guess is that over time, and one too many doughnut-chugging firefighters in full turnout gear had hopped up on the running board to talk to the driver and had used the mirror as a handy grab bar ...

Took a little ride up to see Mike Roache and got home to find Gary, Sally and the '59 Reo (see the Saga about my firetruck ...) in my driveway smile Nice to see that thing driving again, as well as in it's new guise of a semi tractor.

Hope everyone else had a superb weekend -- mine was great!
