Then I'm going to Azle for the car show at Albertson's. Beaver53 is supposed to enter his '53.
Then it's off to Fort Worth to a BBQ dinner to benefit my grandson's Boy Scout trip to Vancouver.
Before going home I'll probably stop and hear some live blues.

Hope to find a couple of good deals at some of the vendor at the show, may get lucky at the swapmeet and then it back to the ranch and work on the 41. Sunday is race day and relax.

(Did that on Tuesday.)
I was also going to do a front end brake job on my car, but I've already done that too. (Last night. Got tired of the pads squealing.)
I will probably persuade my friend Steve to come out and help me bleed the brakes on the old girl and then maybe we can get started on redoing the tail lights and wiring the double poled sockets for the parking/blinker lights on the front end.
And there's always the horn. Gotta get that thing wired in.
And then, on Sunday, I'll be going to the Airport to get my parents.

Then I have to see if my parts for my water canons (irrigation) came in and then I'll be messing with them most of the day. Hopefully, I'll get to harness and drive the horses a little Saturday afternoon.
Sunday, Peggy and I will be at the "Coming Out" car show in Charlotte Hall, Maryland. It's only about 10 miles from our house. Come on out and join us!

Switched out the carb on the 53, going back to the original Rochester without the auto-choke. My first carb rebuild and so far its running great. Topped that off with a set of new plugs.
Tomorrow I'll finish pulling out the cowl vent to clean out the pine needles and other misc. crud and replace the seal. God I love that the weather is getting nice.

Also need to charge the battery and start the engine, it has been sitting for about a month so I need to get the fluids circulating again.
Not sure about Sunday yet. Maybe the wife and I will do some crappie fishing since the weather is supposed to be nice. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 96 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 96 | I got a jump start on the weekend. Today I made a new battery strap for my '51 1300.Got to play with my torches.Finished my exhaust system.
Tomorrow I'll flash her up and probably get into some body work and maybe walk over to the beach.
Oh ya I'll probably clean the grease off the carpet that my wife stepped in that I should have made sure wasn't there for her to step in. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | I started Thursday evening, A frend and I removed the hood, and then the entire front fender-grill-radiator assembly from the 48 2 ton. Then lifted the cab off with the chain fall. If it had not been for a rounded rear cab mount bolt we would have had it all done in an hour, but it took 3.
Then I am helping with a Timber Framed picnic shelter project this weekend.
And next week back to the truck in the evenings | | |
