New starter

The new starter came this week so George the truck lives again it's a tiny thing compaired to the old unit but it cranks that engine over nice and fast now also got the wings on red oxide thought I would do a quick bit of panel beating on the rear wing were he's been hit in the past man this steels thick 2 hours later and I've hardly got any were will have to have another go with a bit of heat later
Been messing round trying to find his new colours the goose wing grey is a winner I think but the Lego green wasn't like that on the website back to the drawing board on that one
That's Dai in the wing ha ha

Well I've being eating very well and really not been doing my part so when the starter packed in I thought I may as well make a start so starter has been sent of for a rebuild started going through the engine and found the points were not even opening how it ran at all I'm amazed and feel really bad I've been this lazy and not looked before. Also been striping the awful stone chip of the to wings one front and one back how that happened I'm not sure but looked crap

Sema 2011

Well last year now I was really lucky to get to go out to the sema show in las vegas the show was mind blowing I expected it to be out of this world but it was better than I expected every one there was so welcoming and I got to meet some of the hotrod builders who have inspired me over the years. Think my high light was when one of the guys from hok gave my wife a toy f100 and she replied thank you very much I have one of these back home in the uk to which the guy response as if talking to a 6 year old child arrr you have a model like this at home to which my wife replys no i drive 1954 f100 most days thank you very much guy goes pink and shuts up.

Evo paint

Got the front and rear fender painted tonight for the evo it's a bit cold to paint really but they came out ok for now

Winter warmth

Been struggling with condensation in the work shop from the big diesel heater I had so decided to build my self a little wood burner keeps the place nice and warm and if I pack it full of coal at night it's still warm in the morning. It's not the nicest looking but it's stopped my machinery rusting and dosnt make you feel sick like the diesel one did.
