Not right to speak ill of another man's ride. Especially if it's likely his "baby" as this one. All I can say is, "Meh"

I didn't read every response but has anyone suggested he add a little Penetrol to the paint for the brush strokes to flow out smoothly?

Also posted this in the "What Did You Do In Your Garage Today" thread. Damn hot here today. Waited til after 8pm to wet sand the footlocker lid from way back in the thread. Only the lid is getting the smooth finish. The edges look crappy but they'll be covered by the perimeter angle iron that...

Not very damn much. Hotter than hell here and weird for California that it's humid. I've been procrastinating on finishing a refurb on a big foot locker thing I found among my recently deceased brother-in-law's things - vacation and too hot. I'd repaired it, tried to improve the surface...

If I don't get control of these cinch bugs it'll be on its way to a gravel yard all on its own! I got the Bug B Gon granules today and spread them with my handheld spreader, watered it in well. But no idea how to tell if it's actually killing off the bugs so I can get some sod to fill the bare...

Cool. Looks like it's gonna be FlatOut's Corvette mounts for the Independent Rear Suspension.

After mowing. Still bad with dead areas but not crazy high.

Back to Garage Journal stuff: Left on vacation 7/17 and had a relatively small die-off in a corner of our backyard lawn. 1/2 the size in the left corner of this pic. Didn't have time to treat it. Came home to find much larger dead areas and the grass growing very unevenly - but still healthy -...

Don, Any chance this ^^^ was Flat Out Engineering? If so, that's the IFS crossmember I used in my '55 Chevy truck. IFS totally changed the driving experience wit this era straight axle suspension. When I built my truck I already had a never installed Fatman Fabrications Mustang II IFS kit but...

Numerous delays getting home - extreme weather in East, re-routing flights all over, severe smoke in DC. 3 flights full of people waiting at one gate to board. 9:22pm leave time became 1:15am. Finally home. Pups super happy but 24 hours of traveling is taxing.

Nah, they bought me! In this pic, Lulu to the right. 2 of my 4 granddaughters to the left. 12 and 8 years old. Other assorted cast of characters. As I write this on a short ferry trip to St. Thomas airport. We’re hearing all sorts of delays in the east due to weather and smoke from Canadian...

Greetings from the “BVI” British Virgin Islands. 7 days into a 9 day trip. Last two on shore in St. John. First seven on a catamaran.

I suppose NOT relevant to your repairs but a couple great looking pooches! I notice in the pics they’re always on leash. Is that required where you are or will they run off of you let them run free?

NOW you tell me! Ha ha. I'd have likely done my '55 in the traditional blonde oak no matter what. I waited my whole life to do one to my preferences though some of the custom bed wood I've seen is very impressive:

Doesn't look "close". Looks exact.

I'm sure I must have posted this picture before. It's my new avatar after over a decade. But I'm in love with my girl, Fifi so....I can't help myself. To me, it seems she has human looking eyes. She loves EVERYONE, I suppose because she thinks everyone loves her!

Thank you. I hope everyone had a happy and safe one.

A couple pics from this mini neighborhood shindig. I know the guy with the '40 Ford. Very nice guy, early 80's, widower. He stopped by my house a year ago with a friend because he saw my truck in the garage. Hadn't spoken to him since. The other guy; his friend passed away suddenly. Sad.

They’ll be off the truck the minute the event is over. There’s an “eagle” with “250” on the tailgate. But since the gate isn’t flat it didn’t want to adhere well. Didn’t transfer cleanly so we had to do it by hand. The pieces got stretched and it’s almost comical how it came out. I expect to go...

Ewww…..ha ha
