Hopefully you made a removable panel to access the in tank fuel pump ? PITA to drop the tank when it fails...

I went to the gym this morning and walked on the treadmill for an hour, then I stopped at the store and got a couple doughnuts and a qt of milk. Polished it off before I got back to the house.

**dave6672** · 04-04-2024, 07:05 PM

My kind of workout right there!

**Palf70Step** · 04-06-2024, 08:51 AM

Spent a couple days with the boss doing some hiking ar Petit Jean park in Arkansas. Enjoy yhe quietness and for me the.hills like i grew up with in eastern pa. Not the flatness of the gulf coast. Used the Tacoma to see how it goes for long distance rides. Its ok. But like bigger trucks better. Need that V8 power baby!

**Boog** · 04-06-2024, 04:01 PM

Well welcome to Arkansas Bill. Petit Jean State Park is beautiful isn't it?

Last night I took the snow plow off the Wrangler and put the regular bumper back.
Midwest folks don't swear at me if I jinxed it and we get another dump of snow.

mr.mud1 · 04-06-2024, 05:08 PM

a little more progress on my 39 Chrysler floor project.one more panel to make and probably the tailpan below the trunk lid as i doubt it's in good enough shape at the bottom,to weld the new floor to.

**Steeveedee** · 04-06-2024, 07:08 PM

You do fantastic metal work!

Looks really good Greg. Might have to clear coat it and drive it for awhile that way - too pretty to cover up.

Hey, isn't it past bed time over there in Nova Scotia?

Just went real slow and checked everything repeatedly as I went. I employed safeguards, but still had my nerves tingling and my gut wrenching.

i'm jealous. I can see why you went back. Never been to the park but I rode backroads through some country that made me fall in love with that I'll never forget

You make me proud just to know someone with such skills. It's great to know where I can have my floor made when I get a street road project going

Yesterday I got the 2020 Mustang GT vert out of our cold storage building to start the spring clean up. Not really much to do other than check the oil and go over it with a spray quick detailer.
Looks like Wednesday is the first cruise day top down cruise day temp wise.

Watching Red Sox Celebration of the 2004 "Reverse The Curse" year which ended a 86 year drought in Championships. All the guys are there. I watched em win with my Dad, he died a month later. This century has been kinder to the Red Sox.

I took my Mother in Law to pickup her Corvette after having it detailed at Rising Phoenix Customs https://www.facebook.com/LeatherneckAutoDetail. He did a great job.

Makes me wonder what she drove through out her life

**Steeveedee** · 04-11-2024, 09:02 AM

What was that blue blur?

My mother-in-law on her way to church.

Nice looking car, and good for her!
