Diggin' In The Tapes : PASO Cruisin' Nationals 2005

Stalled out!

If you follow the TCG Youtube channel you know that my wife's health is failing so not a lot is getting done at the shop. Things have pretty much stalled out for now since her health is at the stage where she pretty much can't do anything at all. I'm here to care for her so that means I cook, clean and do all that stuff that needs to be done to keep the house in order.

Earlier this year, my last bits of work on the Pontiac included getting a proper mechanical fuel pump installed, working out some kinks in the fuel line setup, getting a Holley 4bbl clone carb and adapter installed so that I can start it reliably and working on buttoning up the front floor pan patches. Which is where I'll pick up when time allows.

Stay tuned and thanks for following along.

Getting hung up on the past...

Not that there's anything wrong with that. Some folks can really get into it. And it drives so much of the car hobby. But that's not me. I cannot. But I can, recognizing my own limited skills, still draw a bit of inspiration from those who blazed the trial. While still keeping my feet firmly planted in reality of the here and now.

 

Progress Report

 As you view these, please keep in mind that I've never attempted this level of fabrication before and I have a lot to learn.

 

 

Progress

This is what we're currently thrashing around with, although my lack of confidence continues to slow me down quite a bit.

It has been a great learning experience tho and that's what this entire project is all about.

It's not the tool. It's the person using it.

Knowledge and skill are everything.

A New Year - Feeling Fortunate

Nothing is certain in today's world and right now I'm just happy to have the means to keep my shop and have a place to hang out and be able to work at my leisure.

Happy New Year Finks!

 

 

 

In Memory Of Our Fearless Leader

When we were kids, we didn't have anyone like "Big Daddy" Ed Roth around to warp our young minds. But, we did have The Ghoul. He hosted our late night Saturday horror movies on UHF channel 61 in Cleveland in the early 1970s.

Those who know, know.

Our king and fearless leader

 

 

Never lose sight of your goals

 And remember to honor those who inspired you.
