An update since last we spoke -- January 19, 2008

We went out to pick-up a 12-bolt for our 29 Model A roadster. Came across an old Econoline that was nice enough to donate a couple of parts. Picked up a rear tail light lens to replace poochie's broken one. Pluse a headlight surround that was in better shape than poochie's original one. Also found a glovebox door. It's real rusty but my we kinda like it that way. Next time we're our that way, we're going to see if the instrument surround is just as rusty. If so, we're going to swap it in to add to Poochie's beautifully used look. We removed the instrument panel and restored the gauge faces, giving the needles a fresh coat of orange paint and probably cleaning both sides of the instrument panel's glass for the first time in forever.We've decided that we won't be replacing the paint anytime soon. Nope. We're going to focus on the mechanicals for now and let the exterior paint be its glorious bumped and bruised self. We're in the process of cleaning all the bolts and miscellaneous parts we've pulled so far. Everything's getting a well-deserved soak in degreaser. We took the slicks and rear wheels back out from under it that we'd placed there just for grins. They're going off with dad's 29 to for mock-up. More on that later. We've moved the Econoline's suspension and rear end out to the stall for storage. We've put the orginal 13"s under the front and a set of junk 14"s in back to better apporximate the appropriate rack we're going for. Of course, it'll ride and inch or two higher, but you get the drift. That's about it fot now. We'll check in when we have more progrees to share. Guess whats coming up next?
