Thanks Dave. I'm waiting for the tach repair and the new nose job..

Hey Lee. It'll be awhile on those. Needs to get some windshield time, LOL.

I’m in the same boat, had the transmission rebuilt in my’57 and it 2 months to finish everything, kick down cable, different bracket, one thing after another. We have to take the wins.

[@Volfandt]

Hey David, you got that right.

[@crawford323]

A mechanic and a friend told me, the emergency brake has to be exercised. Which means set it often for this very reason. If you don't use it, you lose it. Many emergency rakes are so remote and hard to get to. Hell drives don't even use their turn signals, it a bet many don't know where the EB is.

[@Volfandt]

So true. Thanks for watching.

Nice job Dave, my body hurts just watching you work on the floor, it’s hard on us old guys, I hope to have a lift in my shop this spring if everything goes right. 👍👍👍keep on getting after it my friend.

[@Volfandt]

Lift? Good for you Steve. One day when I grow up & hit it big, LOL. Not to mention raising the roof. Them hard floors get mighty hard. Have a good 'un.

Great job Dave, as usual. One thing while watching you replace the parking brake cable I noticed that it looked like there was some welding done on the frame. I might be wrong, but that's what it looks like to me. What's with that?

[@Volfandt]

Hey Michael. All the frame welds appear to be factory welds which unfortunately they don't look as good as modern robotic welding. These old cars were mainly hand welded back in the day which differed depending upon day of the week, LOL. Thanks for watching.

Looking good Dave.. bout ready for another road trip.. I'll bet that kerosene heater feels good.. what is the black device next to the kerosene heater? Is that another heater? I'll bet it warms up the place.. Well so much for my rambling on.. Dave take care my friend and God Bless... See you on the next one...

[@Volfandt]

Hey Gary. It's a pretty good out door Patio heater. The shop is so drafty I don't worry about using it inside. It puts out alot of heat but it goobles up the propane so I use it sparingly. I keep saying I'm gonna fire up my old wood stove but it's buried under too many things, LOL. When it gets too cold I just hibernate in my recliner.. Have a good 'un.
