Our "season" officially came to a close at work in our little agriculture business. The fertilizer has been spread and the weeds have been sprayed. The telephone has died way down. We can focus on internal operations for the time being, paying the bills, budgeting for next year, and doing maintenence......and serious mustanging.
So this afternoon, it was drizzly here, and we couldn't run the sprayer rig. I said to heck with it and took the afternoon off. I grabbed the hired man, who is a $#%@ good welder, and we built the subframe connectors for the 65 coupe. That wirefeed welder works great for that stuff. Hopefully tommorrow or Friday we will weld them in place. They look awsome all painted up and ready to install.
Was kinda funny. He was welding away with sparks flying everywhere, and I'm making major noise with the air wrench installing the newly painted/rebushed strut rods and new lower control arms. The mustang is raised way in the air with the front end loader. I couldn't help but think this might be typical of Dean's mustang restoration shop! /forums/images/icons/smile.gif
Got a set of really low profile 14" tires (temporary knockoffs) from the local tire company in town....for free. And they mounted them to the wheels for free!!! I polished a pair of slotted mags to an ultra shine after slaving away with wetsanding them then using mothers mag polish. Mounted the set to the back of the car. It really changed the looks of the mustang shell and made it look like a mean machine. Can't wait to get the fronts installed soon. May have the front suspension completed next week if it goes as fast as it did today.
And I was complaining about the project creeping along..... Ok robbie, keep encouraging me along../forums/images/icons/laugh.gif
