started really feeling the old skool rod thing too jick.............a lot  especially after The Executioners ,chopped and channeled flat head/bias belt whitewalls.....lazy rolling drifty burnouts and that mellow flathead rumble)it's just the whole oshgosh bib n brace sickle boots and 30,s depression cap thing snaps me back to reality |

managed to visit the workshop this week and get a bunch more stuff done on the 'pan......gearbox and rear suspension etc all in now and have set a date at the end of the month to transport the body to the new workshop ...so that can be bolted straight down on the new floor. also i dropped off my spindle mounts, discs & calipers over to Wayne at the Intergalactic hotrod shop which is really near to where my car is so he can get them all fitting & working etc which is not gonna be easy at all.....but exciting nonetheless. well, for me at least.  |

finally managed to get enough people together to get my 59 shell moved to the new workshop.....for the first time in years i now have all my car shit in one place. also it was the first time ever that i've seen it outside in the sunlight since i painted it. i'm really happy with it. never going to win any prizes for best paint, but that wasn't my intention.  |
