Finishing up my door windows

Hey,
Since I removed the door glass, I made my own windows using Lexon. It's a type of plexiblass but it won't shatter or break. I'm using that because it's lightweight.. save a couple of pounds.. It looks good and I'll post a couple of pic's soon..

For the most part I haven't felt all that good today.. maybe not enough fluids or something.. just got the Blah's. My Mercury is totaled so the insurance company going to give me the replacement value.. but that money is gone as soon as I get the check.. suxs.. Well that's all for today.. see ya and take care! ;=)

Stupid Idea

Well Ok.. It's been Hot as far as tempature goes. I've been lagging on mowing the lawn for a couple of weeks now. So I decied to: Not cook but get Pizza. Yummy pizza.. Some how cold beer goes well with Pizza.. Now if your asking what's with the Pizza, Beer & mowing the lawn got to do with anything.. OK.. I drank, ate and then mowed the lawn while it's still like 90 degrees in the evening.. Boy that was a friggin mistake.. Lol.. Shesh.. about died.. I must say I have done some dumb stuff but that took the cake.. Never again for sure.. hahaa.. It's funny now but at the time I felt pretty stupid. Thought I'd share one of more prouder moments with ya all..
Smile :=)

Farris Buler's day off

Hey, that's a movie.. but in my case I'm not having fun on my day off. I twisted my knee last Sunday and it was hurting a little yestersday morning. About lunch time I couldn't even stand on my right leg. I went home early and by 5:00 o'clock my knee was swolen to the point it looked like doubbled in size. So today I'm off of work flipping thru the TV chanels.. that suxs. I have to keep my leg up in the air and stay off of it. Well I hope I feel better soon.. I can't stand (pun) to sit around.. Lol. See ya,
Les

Just another day of work for me

Well it was getting late so I took a quick pic of the Mustang to upload..

I did manage to get the Capri engine & Trans cleaned up today so next weekend I'll install it.

I don't have a bunch of cash right at the moment so I'm just working on stuff.. I have an updated pic of the Capri below.. I was thinking of using the Capri to tow my Mustang to the track.. so maybe they will be painted identical.. still thinking about that tho.. Well st least I'm making some progress (Hoot) even if it's over 100 degrees out.. uck weather anyways.. I didn't make my Video but will try this week? Maybe? See ya, Les

Once again time flys

Can't believe this week has went by so fast.. sheesh.. I'll put up some pictures of my car tomorrow. I have to finish the cowl area (just in front of the windshield) so that's my next part of the project. I'm going to the shop tomorrow to clean an engine & trans for my Capri convertable. After I get that finished I'll add a video "Part 1" on how to build a race engine on my You-Tube account.. I'll post a link to it.

Having some fun

Well It was hot outside today again.. but made the best of my workday. Got home and had to cook on the grill. Made some Hot Wings for dinner but first I sat down with a wine cooler under the celing fan. The cat climbed onto my lap and stretched out. I had put one more wine cooler in the freezer.. Well it was the fastest nap I ever took.. The cat still in my lap but the wine cooler in the freezer was frozen.. Ummm!! So I got my buti going and cooked the chicken and took the frozen drink out with me to defrost, and it did rather quickly.. Dinner was good! Lip's are still burning Lol! Used Hot sauce with BBQ sauce.. Feeling much better today I rolled the car outside in the evening breeze and reinstalled the Mustangs doors and rear bumper.. I need to remove again for final painting but at least the car is one again.. ;=).. Thank God. Well I'm more happy today then have been in awhile soo see ya later!

Back to Normal next week

Whatever that is.. the shop owner returns from his vacation.. Means a ton more work in this heat for me. I don't mind being busy but it's tough because I worked and he is comming off a vacation..

I'm still bummed because the Police report is not ready and my car is still sitting in my driveway destroyed by that Drunk Driver. My insurance company won't do anything untill they have a police report.

I feel like a Mouse in a MAZE!! The money I invested in that car that got hit was suppose to turn a profit and make me more money.. It's a nightmare..

I guess I'm trying to feel better by talking about it is all..

Later,
Les

More progress

I now have most of the car ready for paint. Been busy the last few evenings.. It's still very hot out in the evening but I work anyways.. Here is a couple of pic's from a day ago..

Take care,
Les

Happy 4th to ya!

Well I'm adding some information on my engine and car. Hope you can see it.

Over to the right is dyno run that I did on my computer. I have used this program in the past and it was pretty close to what the engine was. It calculates my 545 cubic engine to be Peak HP of 663 and Peak Torque of 730 That is about what I'm shooting for. :=)

On the left is a computed 1/4 mile run data sheet. I add all the factors of my car and it tells me what it may run in the 1/4 mile in X conditions. It says that I should be able to obtain 10.006 @ 133 Mph.. Again that's what I'm shooting for.

So it appears to be a good combination of Engine and Chassis..

Well I'm back in the garage today so I'm hoping to make some progress..

Take care,

Les

Long lost Pal

Back in the day while I was in the Navy I had a good friend and I lost touch with him. One day while checking on some information about my old squadron I found a link to be reunited with some of the members. I tryed the e-mail addy of my friend and he wrote me back.. That's great.. hopefully I can get caught up on what he's been doing the last zillion years..

See ya,
Les

Need to chat with God
