Did some riding when my brother was in town.
Didn't break anything. Steel toes save real toes.
My dad has been steadily working on his '37. He did some trading with a guy to install new rockers, patch the lower door corners, bodywork the front fenders, and put the repairs in black E-prime. Didn't like the fit of the E-Ts so he bought some chrome baby moons.
He also painted the interior and dash and installed new gauges. He just gutted all the scary wiring and will be installing a Painless harness.
Work has stayed busy for the last couple months so I've been space truckin' like a mother****er. Hit 300k on the Supervibe (currently just under 303k). I've got a timing set and gaskets sitting in a box. Just need to be home long enough to install.
I finally hauled my work table from my basement down to the shop. We went back and forth (analysis paralysis) on what to do for the GMC. Crate motor, used drop-in machine shop rebuild, and stroker were all considered. In the end, an inexpensive viable core was located. I did rings, bearings, timing set, and reused the original cam, lifters, and heads. Everything mic'd out on the big side of acceptable. Basically, we're hoping to be back where it started, just shinier. I finally got a chance this weekend to do the work. I'm this close...
Hoping I get a work break for a couple days. Might have a runner by next weekend.
