Working my tail off

Ummm.. built an engine stand to run my engine before I install it.. I'm happy with the progress so far.. I've been upbeat the last few days but worried I still won't make the first race of the season.. So I've been kind of pushing my inner self..

Here is what my stand looks like with an empty block installed on it.. It's taken 7 hours to build by myself..

Good day today

Been nice out.. Didn't have a bunch of probs at work.. Hoot! I managed to get my battery cables made up today so (1up) on getting the race car finished! Gonna finish the battery box toningt.. Umm the below pic is from the 70's.. Lol! Just shows ya how long I love fast cars.. That car won a 5th place out of 40 others at IRP Indy raceway park.. during a National event.. Umm the need for speed! ;=)

Take care,

Les

Not much of an update

Did some work on the Mustang yesterday.. Painted the engine compartment and I now have head lights & tail lights.. Hoot. I had to send my pushrods back because they were the wrong size.. my bad for that..

Look to the weekend for more progress..

Letting the day pass

Just kind of slacking off.. I ordered a new computer for my Capri and installed it. Need to check it with the scanner tomorrow.. The new computer makes the car run a lil better so I guess I see if it passes all the tests.. That's about all that's going on..

Frustration continues

Umm been a few days.. I'm in the process of building a stand to run my engine before I install it in my car.. Some set backs and frustrations at work develope delays.. I'm hoping to work tru this next segment.. of setbacks.. I ordered a water pump for my car only to have the item not available.. just more problems and things I counted on.. now I have to figure something else.. Ugly deal.. Honesty finding myself counting to ten..

Laters,

Some progress

Had a friend at work help me make a panel for my fuel cell.. It came out nicely.. I painted it but because the garage is too cold I'll have to wait till tomorrow to install it.. also at lunch time today made a dip stick to read the oil level in my new engine..

Still fighting with my emotions.. hope things get better at work..

My Job is getting the best of me..

Hi,
Been having some difficulties at work.. Actually it's been going on for the last 6 months or so.. I was hired to do one type of job but when another worker quit I assumed his work as well.. I don't know what to really do.. I want to just quit myself but the better thoughts say not to.. I had tried to talk to the owner but the conversation gets changes quickly.. It's one of thoses deals ya just wish when you woke up in the morning everything would be better..

Well made some progress on the Stang today.. that's all good..

Later,
