Rob;
Great Photos and yes that is a very pretty and straight 38. Still not sure why all those batteries?

Dennis;
How are you holding up with the heat? I bet plastic filler sets up so fast you hardly have tile to use it. :shocked: :shocked:


I have been working on the firewall and cowl. Still have a wat to go but I shot it with high build and then guide coated to see how close I was :knockout:

My rotisserie was mounted to the center part of the indentation so now I am building a mount that will work with the frame mounts. Before I rebuilt the rusted out mounting points I couldn’t use them.

Hey Doug
I'm not dealing well with it Its Monsoon season right now makes it even worse Humidity is so hi my little swamp cooler wont do squat!
105+ in the shade according to my car which is fairly accurate and the humidity feels like 100% all n all I'm Dieing out here.

Listed the Ford on E bay its gotta go by by all it does is sit in my garage any way some one ought to enjoy it.
I am praying it gets some bids.

Its hit or miss what people will bid on through that sight any more and nothing is selling very hi any more at all, No one has any money. I listed with no reserve and 8k starting my luck it wont get any bids and some one will bid last second and steel it.

It has been humid here also but the heat has been in the low 90s. I keep fans going in the garage and create my own swamp cooler from my sweat. I cant imagine working in that heat.

I really hope you sell the Ford I know you have allot of Love in it but as you say selling anything right now is a big IF. Those that have some cash are stealing as you say. Best to you in that.

The 38 is coming along very nicely, nice clean firewall :goodjob: Your frame mounts were pretty ugly, I don't think I saw that before.

We've had some really hot weather up here too, especially at the cabin, 106 degrees on the deck in the shade last friday :splat: I can't imagine going through the long stretches of that like you do Dennis, it's a wonder you can put one foot in front of the other. It wipes me out, I pretty much just find a spot in the shade and sit and drink.

I hope the 41 gets some decent bids, at least you do have a bid, now you need at least one more interested party to heat things up :goodjob:

I drilled the holes for the upper control arm drop, that got a little sketchy once I was over 3/8", the bigger bits caught a couple times and with the big drill my wrist took quite the hit :knockout:

Well wish me luck, the grandchildren are getting dropped off today for a two week stay, I'm exhausted thinking about it :splat: :knockout: :knockout: :knockout:

God i hate dealing with people on ebay, Guy waits till hes hi bidder then asks questions now he wants to back out? :realmad:

Will it drive home 500 miles? across desert?to LA well ya I'm sure it would, But would I do it? NO!!! the things 71 years old for crying out load with no AC hell no I wouldn't do it!!!! I went on to tell him car hasn't had 20 miles put on car since restoration.

Another stupid question same guy, Can I put AC in it? ya I'm sure if you have enough money I'm sure you could get some to do it for you, But to be period correct you want one of those window swamp cooler things.

If you want a pro touring car buy a Hot rod not an all original two different worlds
