Even "rough" 40's are cool.

Finally got a little time to play! Dash is welded up but I still need to grind the welds down. Thin metal is not fun to weld! Even with the multi color patchwork it still looks better than it did!

like your keychain. Just went there last week.

Glad to see you recycle to minimize your carbon footprint. I repurpose a lot of steel myself.

It's moving slowly but at least it's moving!
Got the dash ground down and painted. Also mounted the fuse panel and
finished about half the wiring the other day.

Accidentally sold this last night, didn't even advertise it. I broke even-ish and now I can start on the 55. Good riddens! A guy in Central Point is gonna do a tub swap and restore it!

I typically accidentally buy things. How does this accidental selling thing work?? My wife would like me to figure that one out.

I think the wiring job did the trick. Who wouldn't want that!?

It was a friend of a friend type of deal. The guy was gonna go to coos Bay to buy one sight unseen with no history of it. My buddy said I know someone who's got one and wants to get rid of it. I was skeptical it was gonna happen but sure enough, I've got money in hand and I'm dropping it off tomorrow.

Sweet! Can't wait to see the 55 come alive!
