I’m kinda digging the color, and the record player is badass!

I've been slacking. On updates, anyway.
Record player showed up
Some kind soul saw the latest bit of stupid and sent me this
My old man used to sing that song to me when I was a wee tot, so I was excited to get it.
I've embraced the future opulence theme and found a set of swivel seats
Just, uh, slightly worse for wear.
Optional cigarette lighter in the back.

Summer hit and all work went away.
It didn't suck.

Got the car killin trees down.
Cleaned some bits up
A '61 Chrysler Brake drum is ideal for holding a starter motor in position for painting. Use that info however you'd like.
Once I'm done with the torque converter I can reassemble the rest.

All the silver is metalflake so it pops in the sun.
Why I chose that for an underhood paint is beyond me.

Well yeah, the summer was more awesomer. Those kids had the time of their life. I did too.
Now I'm just back to puttering. Slowed down a bit with my gimpy arm. I need to stop breaking myself.

Prepped the shop, one handed
My buddy Pat came over and basically put it together for me.
That's the old frame, which is getting replaced, so I didn't clean it up.

ML's thread motivated me to update this nonsense.
Like an idiot, I bought a boat.
That was about the extent of the plan. Storage? Moving it? Does it run?
Plenty, no way, and no.
First off, to move it, let's find my old Jeep. About time it did something useful.
Look at those lines-doesn't it just scream....ugly?
But it seems fitting that we'll pull our broken boat with the broken Jeep. Consistent, even.

With a great arm workout for Paula and some serious abuse of a Kubota that is way too small for such shenanigans, it got stuffed in the shop.
Barely.
Look at all that space.
Being too unmotivated and unskilled to actually expand ye olde shoppe, we'll work with what we've got.

The Dana 70 got new relined brake shoes. Same for the Dana 60 up front.
That is a 6 on 7.25" bolt pattern. No rims exist for them except for the split rims. No one seems to like those anymore, which is a shame because I won't touch the widowmakers, either.
A complete fix of the floor was undertaken, and by that I mean I removed all the leaves.
