1946 Gypsy

Here are some pics of the steering situation that had me slightly depressed. I couldn't clear the headers and I could bare another universal joint on the setup so I opted to move the column over one inch. So instead of cutting a another hole I cut a huge piece out and then ended up welding a replacement in and cutting a new hole. Yeah I took the long way around. After that I popped the pin off the column shifter, drilled new mounting holes and hooked up my semi non permanent bracket so it is where it is. So hopefully I can get the column holder this weekend off my dad, then I'll be able to set the steering shaft where I want it and cut the new shaft to correct sizing. Yeah I was smart enough to wait on that. So other than that just look at the pics and see the beauty of what is making three cars work like one. Oh and ryan gave it the Weston's thumbs up. Also sweet pic of the new or sligtly used soda machine from the last auction we went to. Melissa was a high bidder and she is the proud owner of this sweet machine.









Here are some pics of the parts I've picked up within the last couple days. Nothing big. Just some rims and a lokar shifter. Cannot wait to see them put in, everything this weekend hopefully except the rims, I had to send two back due to a mistake with the rear axl. It's a dodge rear axle and not the caprice one as originally stated. So Now I sent back the 15X8 on the rear to be replaced with the 15X7 rims with the correct bolt pattern. Good times, good times.





This is Sam one of the garage cats. He is usually walking over boxes and selling his bullshit on the side of the street. But We took him and his friend in to take care of them and nurse them back to health. They were downstairs until today and now they have moved into my kitchen. Since old man winter is boning us with the frosty bit, They'll stay there until they go back to frackville.
