Default Wow, 4 months ....

Life just gets in the way. Finished adding a new fleet of aircraft to our airline, and then they went out and bought 2 more airlines to merge into ours.... who knows what a mess that will be.

Painted the house, stained 3 decks, spent a week at my sisters helping get her house ready to sell so she can move back to IND, and put in a raised bed garden to keep the misses happy at the home front - 24 posts, 10 tons of pea gravel, many truckloads of mulch and I still have the fence to finish over the next couple weeks.... ugh.

But all is not lost, I have been ordering all the parts and tools for the car !!

Mostly NOS Porsche stuff - headlight assy, turn signals, license light, backup lights, lenses, grills, switches, etc. Switching the 65 vented side window surrounds to non-vented 63 style to get rid of the ugly wing vents. Think I'll use the Harley Classic 7 in headlights that I saw in the orange 55 chevy in Columbus - and LED bulbs in all the turn signal and markers from AAW.

Tube and Bar stock benders, bead roller, planishing hammer, E-wheel, body hammers, slappers, dollies, strecher/shrinker, hand shear, combo shear/brake/roller, etc. DOM Tubing is here, backbone U's and some assorted brackets and suspension adjusters. Brake rotors for the stock vette setup.

Got the C5 vette frame up on Ebay right now. Do me a favor and buy it !!

I've started to plan the tube chassis locations in the car and began removing stuff off the bottom that's in the way - like the Jack Spurs, body braces, etc.

It's nice to get outta the office and back to the garage !

Jim
