My garage is a mess and need to clean it up. Got to get started on the 40 Ford. Just can't remember where it is at

Had the garage door open to work yesterday,felt wonderful! Phil

It will hit 50 today in Conn. I've been outside finishing up a few broken snow blowers for the neighbors. Now if I could only clean out the other 4 in the garage, maybe I can dig out the 50 F-1 so I can really see it. Can't roll it outside as the camper is there and a couple of garden tractors are buried still. Come on Spring!

Today is beautiful here in Michigan, too bad I am still young and have to work or else I would be working out in the garage today.

I'm with Vanspeed, beautiful here in Michigan. Too bad I'm laid up with a broken leg and can barely get around yet.

Great day in central Indiana, too. Heavy fog this morning but gorgeous now. Love it!

VanSpeed,
It ain't ever too bad to be young..............

B-O-B · 03-11-2015, 01:37 PM

A bit overcast in FT Mohave for today & tomorrow & REALLY appreciate that as it has been in the mid to high 80s & that sun is hot. Have just been making small trips of 20 miles or less road testing the 34 so far no major problems . I need to get the insulation in it tho. Pictures later,maybe!!! Not the yellow one the roadster.

AnthonyG · 03-11-2015, 02:56 PM

In southeast Texas it Rained almost every day this month mist two or three but some days it rained twice to make up for the ones it didn't.

I'm with B-O-B. Been in the mid 70's most of the times here. I moved here from Mi. 3 yrs ago so I know what you guys are talking about. Don't miss it a bit.

Ralph Moore · 03-12-2015, 09:42 AM

Still about a month and a half away from one of those "nice" days.

B-O-B · 03-12-2015, 10:34 AM

Have fun & take plenty of liquids. I won't be there for sure. Wonder how the big time racers will like the weather in Phoenix this weekend? I won't be there either. Staying in my man cave. Heh Heh He 75 right now @10am & wish it would just stay there purfecto with some coronas. I can hear the fast boats on the river already. Sure don't sound like my flathead.

Not to bad down here, 84 every day. Not all old Ford work, restored this pier last year. Granddaughter was down this week and took a picture of her husband after he went fishing. The lines to keep birds from crapping on the pier is .130 red weed wacker plastic line, it works good. G.M.

AnthonyG · 03-12-2015, 05:21 PM

G.M., don't see any fish?

waterboychuck · 03-12-2015, 05:30 PM

64 here in eastern Washington. A great day to have the shop door open and working on my 46 coupe.

TonyM · 03-12-2015, 07:13 PM

Nice enough to drive today, but my alley-facing garage door is on the North side of the building. A good sized mound of ice is in front of the garage door and the alley is a lake. So I didn't take my 1937 Ford out for the first drive of the year today. Maybe Saturday. Can't wait to move my car to it's new quarters.
