Blackwater:
I just remembered that I have a hood for this project!  I don't think it has the side curtains, but the top panels are solid and the hinge is good!  I also have a Corvair steering box that's already "flipped" to finish the steering !!

Blackwater:
I ought to be getting my rear axles and rotors back from the machine shop this week. I decided that I would let them redrill for the 5X4.75 pattern.  I've done it several times successfully, but with the foot and some minor annoyances, I figured it won't cost much and I can deal with some other things.

I also picked up a set of coil over shocks for the rear of the car!!

Soon as I get to where I can walk again, between all the stuff for this project and the parts coming in for the engine on Lockjaw, I'm gonna' be a busy feller!!

Blackwater:
I had to go pick up my axles and rotors yesterday.  The machine shop I took them to had dragged their feet long enough!!  I picked them up and took them to a well known local shop in Nashville.  It'll cost me a little more, but I'll have them back by the middle of next week!!

Blackwater:
Got my axles back from the second machine shop this morning!!  Nice work!!  They re-drilled the rotor too and it was DONE ON TIME!!!

I'm starting to get around a little on both feet!!  Looked around the shop this morning when I got back from town.  I had put away an old Chevy dual point distributor,one of the old iron units without a tach drive that has a clip on cap and no vacuum advance.  They're getting pretty rare and I'd sent my son and Jeff73 to look for it last weekend with no luck.  When I went to put the axles back in the shop, I decided to look for them myself!!  Climbed the ladder to look on the shelves in my storage rack. NO JOY!!  Turned several boxes out and searched through them. STILL no luck.  Turned around to sit down for a minute and spied a plastic tub with a bunch of boxes and supplies in cans that I'd brought out from my gun room to store and EUREEKA!!  I remembered that the distributor was in that stuff!!

McLovin:
 I'm kind of a pest whenever I have something at somebody else's shop. Last time they "Lost " my block because the guy who fill out the form did it wrong and the shop had a bad cell number for me. If I hadn't been pestering them they wouldn't have ever done my block. They did give me a free hone job.
