Thanks '28. I hope it is when done. ;D

Been a crazy two weeks, my brother and his wife (and Dog) drove out from the west coast. He started giving me a hand on the coupe ( oh yah). That didn't last long, all his freinds came by to visit.
I got a cyst on my back that was getting pink and sore so went to Doc, got some antibiotics and carried on. We went to a freinds daughters wedding, then they were headed to Branson to see mom. (She's been in and out of the hospital alot lately). I checked with Doc, he said go see mom, so the Inspector and I hitched a ride to Mo. Mom ended up in the hospital (she was a couple qts of oil low),while we were on our way, she got out monday all is good now.
By tuesday night my back was swollen and red, went to urgent care unit in Branson where they cut, squeezed, flushed and managed to pack 1/4" x 23' of gause strip in the hole. That was really fun! Headed home wednesday morn, brother headed home thurs. Went back to clinic to find out infection was not responding to antibiotics.  Got unpacked squeezed, repacked thurday/friday. New antibiotics now working, yippee! No more packing today! Hopefully by Monday's visit, i'll be back to the coupe. Wheew! ::)

Chopper, in a hurry because my hands are getting worse man. I use to just cruise through all this. ;)

Here are a few better pics of clearance.

I also used C3 engine parts in my 33, have a 79 Vette engine with 91 Vette upper fuel injection.  Since the C3 has those multi groove pulleys took advantage of it and using double V belt.  Figure with 2 belts doing the same thing I can run them with little less tension..maybe helping the mounting brackets???

Thanks fellas, i'm definitely on the mend. Mom called this morning,  shes still doing good. Looks like she's getting a lot of tests done this week. My buddy Tom came over last night and changed my bandage out for me and took a pic of my back for me, I hadn't seen it since they cut holes in Branson. Looks like an alien monkey bite.lol  :o But it's still draining with out all that damned packing in there, and definitely getting smallerin diameter( from 10.5cm to 3cm ). However, it itches like the devil. I told Tom last night he might have to poke his finger in there and give it a few twists, he declined.

I did see some cool cars around Springfield and a really cool 30-31 ford fenderless coupe in Branson. Couldn't get to my phone quick enough to get any pics.
Here are a couple of pics of my back seat trip, it did get pretty tight from time to time with these two big boys. (Duke aka "the inspector" and brothers dog Jas)

Hey Sammons, glad your Mom's doing better. I feel your pain. I had a cyst on my side a couple years ago that had to be cut, not a fun thing at all. feel better my friend.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Finally back to work. Got my brake pedal assy painted and rebuilt (bushings). Firewall all sealed up on the inside (fiberglass blend), and the rubberized under coat with black engine enamel top coat (so adhisive will stick down insulation). Give me a chance to stamp my body number on 4 locations  on cage and elsewhere. One easy to get too and three not so obvious, all will be behind interior panels etc. I've had to prove a car was mine before, so this is a must to me ( and several more to go).

I think I will wait to make a hole for the cowl vent drain untill I get the Vintage Air unit hung. That way maybe I can "T" the two drains together with just one hole. Maybe tomorrow i'll get the pedal assy back in and the cowl vent inner painted and reinstalled.

Sammons;;; I remember a sercuit judge a female that had her 25 foot boat trailer stolen.They got to the border they had some other sort of license plate on the trailer and had stamped serial numbers into the frame that matched their ownership.She could not prove it was hers and so there it went  south. I have two sets of punches letters and numbers and i stamp all my stuff with the numbers on the corresponding  ownerships. some place on the frame and some place else not so obvious.something to think about. I have been pulled over in a routine check pulling our power boat.The ownership and registration is under the dash attached to the back of the steering wheel. I told the officer in question where it was and asked him if he had a scanner. He said yes. and i asked him if he could scan the numbers that i had in the frame of the trailer and he said yes at which time he asked me for my drivers license and proof of insurance when i did this he said have a good day and i was on my way   vette59jdwl

Vette, years back Kansas vehicles(pre 50's) were usually titled under the engine numbers(some still are). If you did a motor change you had to have the bill of sale for the replacement engine and have it  notorized and apply for a new title number with that engine number on it.(a real pain) l'm guessing by the 60's you had a choise upon inspection to either title it under motor or body. I always went with body number so enigine change was easy (paper work wise).

I sold a 40 chevy pu (w/283 in it), had it titled under body. I remember dad having a conversation with a fellow (in the 70's) and he told of loosing one because he couldn't prove #'s due to the body # plate being removed. I sold it to an ol boy on payments so he could be working on it. I just gave him a zerox copy of title along with a contract untill he paid me in full. He skipped on me, five months later a friend spotted it broke down on a country road 40 miles away. I called the Co Sheriff of that county of it's location. Dispatch called me back and said that the body tag had been removed. I informed them where I had stamped the body #'s (2 locations) they relayed back. If I brought title and contract down I could have it back. I did, the officer said if I had not stamped that truck it would have been impounded and sold. Later when I got back I found the body plated behind the seat in a bunch of trash. Never took payments again! ;D

Now that the heat, a/c unit is securely mounted I'm finding out what doesn't fit. The original planned location for the stereo now doesn't have enough depth, the fuse box location also. I wanted it to the right side of the console with a cover for easy access.(fuse box) So i'll have to build a box to space the stereo out and on an angle. Built that, but have tosink it yet. I like the angle, just not sure of the look yet, gonna need some round corners before i'm happy. The glove box is only going to be 4" deep now also. Still in thinking on new fuse box location. It will all have to wait as I have other things to do this weekend.

Here's what I got so far.

Steve.. At least your making progress....I haven't  done any thing in 5 weeks due to a cold that I got and turned into a sinus infection and bronchitis..now fighting off a cough....after a lot of meds and Z-Pac.. feeling a lot better.
   Like your dash extension...and as for the glove box I figure mine will be approx. 3 inches deep..it will house  A/C  controls and Electronics ports   and what ever else I want to hide. any way that's the plan
