New(to me) equipment is always fun.

I’m sure he’ll pop in on occasion, I haven’t heard the official “Retirement” yet.

Maybe “SR” and I can convene a meeting at the local MICRO, to discuss the finer points of rust inhibitors, the artistic application of diamond plate, and it’s influence on automotive design in the 21st Century. Weighty topics!!! It’s important and not to be taken lightly. May need to make it a weekly meeting…

I’ll set aside a corner in the new shop(pending zoning appeal) for the retiree daily coffee break.

Progress on the Mule.

[Jdc1]

Ready to start moving everything into place and starting the first mock-up. The mule needs a new rear crossmember which is on its way from BTB. Not going to worry too much until that’s in place.

Waiting on the rear crossmember before even thinking about panel alignment.

Have had my head down, last few months has flown by.

Mule Mock-up is complete, LS 60 is ready to go back on the frame. We are also getting closer to breaking ground on some extra workspace.

That’s a Nice “blue” on the 60. I’ve got “garage space envy” just looking at the drawings. Kudos on making your way through the lunacy that is local/state bureaucracy.

Definitely Lunacy. Half of the members on our zoning variance committee are not residents of our community…..

Busy few weeks. The Mule is almost ready for her next step closer to paint. Primer should be laid down this week.

A 60 owner was leaving his headlights on, we also made it a little lighter.

RCLC is collaborating with our sister shop Alexander Restorations on a pretty cool build slated to be done early fall ‘24. I’ll post more pics but parts are starting to roll in. The only piece of the puzzle that will be restored will be the axles; Dana 44 and 9”….

Looking at the schedule, Ill have an opening for mechanical work the 3rd week in February. Let me know if you want to get that leaky rear main taken care of or are sick of worrying about your smog pump giving up the ghost.

 

[Jdc1]

It’s been a quick few months but the Mule has decided that we will see some color next week.

Also a successful desmog, JimC Carb and Recurve, new TRE, Sleeves and Stab links for the ‘87. Quick rinse with Salt B Gone and on her way home

 

[Jdc1]

Big day today:The Mule is ready for color.

Freshly sandblasted, epoxy and painted frame is waiting as well.

Big week-
