    No, I was hoping to actually ride up and chat with them. Is the one you have a Dinan or an M5 pull or is it one somebody fabricated?

    How long will you have the tools from Greg? I'm about to have an extra subframe that could use some yanking.

    are fun!
    Taking time on a rainy day to read some of the builds and just finished yours. I like the way you are attacking the restoration. BTW, I also really like the Farmall theme.

    Cheers,

    Thank you, and all, for the words of encouragement. I honestly expected a much more negative reaction to the red than what I have seen thus far. Go figure, eh?

    looking great! Love the M rear bumper. I should have done that when I got hit but instead i bought the stupid knock off from Bav Auto that is all fiberglass. I think I might cut the bottom lip off and add it to the stock bumper.

    Gotta get me some IH red crinkle coated B38 valve cover goodness, that does look good. Loving the thread Sneezy, I'm still trying to work out a time for Nick and I to fly out to see you any input on good places to stay and wing places with good views . . .

    Meh, all you'd get from me were crappy cell shots. Jon had some really nice photographs of them a bit back. He can repost them if he likes or give me the okay to rehost them.

    Else, I will supply a bunch of aforementioned crappy pics when I install them.

    gah

    Watching your steady updates makes me want to get back to work on mine so freaking bad. I HATE the time sink this new job has become.

    Without the time sink (love the term), you would not be able to have cool stuffs...

    Call in sick and have a fun day with the car.

    The project I am working right now won't allow it. I have a month's worth of leave, once we have this disaster stabilize I will be able to take some time off.

    And yeah, I know the work is what finances the play but what sort of salaryman would I be if I didn't grouse about the boss and the hours?
