Looks like someone is walking away with some treasures and memories with Grandpa. Great picture and to say the least I'm envious. I'll just have to stay up past my bed time and watch some racing on the tube.

Good point Dwight. Hadn't thought of that one. I will check the new PCV again to make sure it is good. I am wondering why it takes 2 days for it to leak. That has me stumped.

I'm (sad to say) spending the weekend trying to find a new job. It seems my current position is going away in a down-sizing. Anyone interested in a Total Performance kit? It's time for a personal down-sizing, as well. 
Belated birthday wishes, Jim! I hope you had a great day and I wish you many happy returns.
And Zack, mind shaking a PCV valve is not a valid test. If the plunger in a PCV valve is broken into two pieces, it would make twice as much noise, but that certainly wouldn't make it twice as good.

Those aluminum rods make great coloum drops! Just use bent or stretched ones, not the good ones! They cost too much!

Mike,
Sorry to hear that you are on the way to unemployment. Seat belts fastened, prayers said.

Finishing up a new stand for my 4x6 bandsaw, to much wasted space with the old one, the new one will give me tons of storage for blades, accessories and metal.
Still trying to determine if I am going to paint it.
After that I need to make sure it was water in the gas freezing in my carb that caused the secondary float to stick and flood out the engine! Guess that happens when you drive your bucket in Feb

I used to build pinewood derby cars impregnate powder graphite into nails/axles with drill smooth mold seams on wheels tilt wheels so very little rides on track,also only run three wheels actually touching track one front up off track works best.
Good Luck

They've changed the molds on the wheels in recent years. They come out of the box pretty nice. Not perfect, but real nice.
The up coming speedster project will have the body pannels riveted together. As you know, the holes need to be bur-free so punching them is prefered to drilling. We're talking about in the neighborhood of 2 to 300 rivets. I made up this mount for my Whitney punch.
While sketching the body, it became apparent that the throat on the Whitney wasn't going to be deep enough for some of the rivet holes. So this is what I put together for the job. Always wanted something to punch up to a 1/2" hole any way.
It's all made from shop scraps .... so far.

Rod and Custom indoor car show in Medford Oregon. I borrowed my buddy Micks trailer and got loaded up Friday and transported the car. Driving the car the 35 miles of freeway in 40* weather just wasn't in me (getting old I guess). plus I'd spent a lot of time getting it cleaned up for the show, and there was a threat of rain. It was a great honor for me to be invited to this show, and I expect to have pics up later tonight after we pick the car up and get home around 7:00pm Sunday (PST).
