Humm is it Friday yet?

Well not too much new.. still thinking about ordering the pushrods plus some gauges like oil pressure and water temp.

I was working on a customer car today and I thought the fluid dripping was water but it was battery acid. I was underneath and got dripped on. Man that was nasty. I had to leave work and go home to shower as it was all over me..

Didn't work on the race car tonight cuz of my attitude.. If I'm not feeling good I pass on the car.. too many saftey issues to be in a hurry.. so

Sold one of my cars

Well had to sell one of my cars to gain some extra cash. It's Ok cuz I have another I'm building up.. Found a different place to get my pushrods but it's going to take 30 days to get them because of a special order.. that means Jan of 2007.. it's $70 dollars cheaper but I got to wait on 'em.. always something.. What a rollercoaster ride to get this Mustang finished and to the track.. life in general.. bumps and grinds..

Today

Well.. cold weather set in again.. Work is hard being in the cold damp air. It actually started out nice this morning but then turned windy chilling cold just after lunch. The clouds came in and over cast the sky but didn't rain. Nasty it was!

A different down side today as I need push rods for my engine. I called a company that had some but the wrong diameter. I need 3/8 and the had 5/16. The 5/16 ones were $70 dollars. The 3/8 ones I need are $210.. It must be the story of my life.. Never cheap and never easy!

I've been working on the race car for two years now.. sometimes it's just so frustrating to the point I wish I never started.. maybe better off finding something easy to do.. but I don't really think thats me.. My inner feeling keep driving me to finish the Mustang..Crazy!

Had to vent some as the day isn't going so good for me!

Mid Month Update

Umm been busy at work so time off is more or less recovery time for my body. I have made some progress on my Capri convertable. When I finish this car my T-bird that I drive now will be for sale.. Need the cash for xmas and some things for the racecar. I wished I took more pictures to post of the Capri's progress.. Well gonna go!

November already

Funny how time slips so quickly away.. For the most part I've gained some on my Mustang Race car.. The engine is almost finished! Hoot! That was, for the most part the biggest expense. The lights that I put up in the garage last winter have slowly failed so I need to get my buttiie to the hardware store to get some new bulbs.. Out of the 6 bulbs one still flickers..

The next couple of months I'll finish the car wiring to hook everything up.. I'm pretty sure I'll have the car running by Febuary.. That's my Goal.. So I'll use this blog to keep reminding me..
