Moose I was thinking the same thing today when I logged in at lunch.  Chopper sorry to hear about your exhaust!
Thanks, Tom, but you know I'm just bitchin'. That's the way it always seems to go, you start finishing things off and then realize you forgot something and have to take it all apart. I had to take the gas tank down too, so I could run the wires for the gas gauge and license plate light. Good thing is I was able to take it all apart and button it up today.
But, like I said, I'm not really complaining. I feel bad for guys like Ray, he's REALLY having a hard way.
Thanks, Moose, the seat looks good and now it fits good. It's just a rear bench out of a Windstar, but I narrowed and wedged it so it fits the car perfect, and it mounts securely now. All I have to do is upholster it.........easier said than done.
Hope you and your wife are feeling better, John.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Sorry you missed me moose. But I have been as busy as a bee. With yard work. In my spare time. I worked on my Bead roller,
Took the T out and washed it. Got it ready for spring. Took the street rod out and washed it. Got it ready and I had to take a
ride. And yes Moose after seeing your badge I know I had better have photos.
Don,
I didn't know you had a Model T. The 32 looks great.  Hope to see it at a few shows this year.
Ray,
I hope your wife feels better. That's a tough thing to go through.  I'm sure that cold weather you're getting doesn't help.
Tom

Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

i'm here, not much time to work on my car. joe
Joe,
As long as you get to go out and tinker every now and then it'll get done.  Family and life always takes up a lot of my time.

The suns out this morning, and I am sitting at the computer with it blasting through the window right on me nice and warm. I am sure at this moment this is  how plants must feel like when spring finally comes. The colds are getting better so maybe this weekend I can get back in the shop for awhile.
You guys stay healthy...John

Glad your feeling better John. Yesterday was my sunny day...Today rain.

Don't worry Billy ....If you want another best friend just get a dog.

Hey I'm still here, I've been working in the yard doing some cleanup and getting to that list of honey do's. I will be patching a hole on the Drivet that's on the front of my house tomorrow where a very large wood pecker decided to do his drumming  to call in his mate for this spring. Oh by the way I've have had some time in the garage replacing wood with steel in my 32. Really need to post some pictures, maybe I can get that done soon.

I've been there with the wood pecker problem.One did a number on my storage shed a couple of years ago. Good thing he didn't get into my 32 .  I guess that's just another reason to replace the wood with steel! ;D

Ed,
Didn't see a chain hooked up to the tractor pulling it so it must be under it's own power.  Lookin' good!

Where did everybody go.The post count is dwindling down close to zero. Somebody must have something to talk about. How's the car doing,the wife and kids,the grand-kids, your shop, yard work....anything? I guess it must be the improving weather letting you buys finally get away from the infernal computer. Just wanna make sure everyone is OK!

Moose ;D

I hate to quote myself but once again I must ask the question......Is anybody out there?

Maybe the heat has been slowing us all down? It's been kicking my butt.

Sorry, guys, I have been on vacation for the last two and a half weeks, and although we really didn't travel anywhere, the computer has not been on my mind too much. I spent most of the time hanging out by the pool with my four boys. I don't think I even worked on the car more than a few hours. The heat has been oppressive, thank goodness for the pool and the a.c.
