Saved a baby bird from the cat and over the last three mornings painted the bed strips (original, crudy, but will do for the to be used DD).

Did a little more assembly on my 270 this am. Later today I'll be painting the bell housing and cleaning up a few more parts. Once motor and tranny are done I'll be re-working the engine compartment.

Disassembled my gauges from a 49 chevy pickup. Need to rebuild but want to get replacement metal faces trying not to use stickers. Anyone have any ideas?

Painted more bed sections, wet sanded and worked on bed sides. Mounted tires on rims and installed.I also bought an externally mounted electric choke assembly for my qjet. I had to fabricate a bracket, still making final adjustments.

Do you have a part number for the electric choke? I would like to see a pic of your mounting bracket.

The paint job looks good.

Russell the choke kit is an EC3 electric choke kit from ebay. I will post pictures of the bracket soon as I get back out to it.

Took my old beast for a 60 mile spin around town and realized it would be a lot more fun in this AZ heat if I would get on putting in an ac system, but 1600 miles on it now and no real problems to speak of yet.

Got the original cigar lighter I purchased working, contacts needed cleaned up. Painted bumper brackets and some other misc. parts. Got the headlight trim rings ready for primer. Inventoried electrical wiring stuff and started mods on from turn signal housing for dual filiament bulbs. Body work on back of bed at the old hinge bolt locations. As you can see I am at that "lots of small tasks" to do and am going in circles as I complete a stage in each one!
