Small update on cup holder… after discussing project with my Plasma cutter friend, I decided to take the pistons to a machinist friend to get the Aluminum pistons milled out instead of melting them...

Okay Okay… Update time…

Yesterday was the second Saturday in a row with a local car show… and next Saturday is another one...

Kind of a crazy week…

Thursday I tattooed the Oldest Son and Youngest Daughter of
Bill "Maverick" Golden of the Wheel-standing Little Red Wagon fame…
He passed away this past Monday and they decided to get memorial pieces… I had tattooed his daughter previously… After the tattooing was finished, the son returned and presented my with a signed 1/64 scale little Red Wagon...
Here's the pics…
Son's tattoo

Daughter's tattoo

the Cool tip…

Okay TJ, some real updates...

The day started with me having to climb off in the swimming pool, 71 degree F water, to remove the ballast, sand, that held the steps in place…Brrr! Then vacuum and add closing kit chemicals in preparation of closing the pool for the fall, winter, and spring… Then Truck Time!!!

I started out by removing the electric fan that was mounted to the front of the radiator… the bent frame had the radiator saddles relocated back and down a bit to allow for the front mounted fan… the straight frame had the original saddles in place, so until I source an electric fan that pulls instead of pushes I will rock the mechanical fan…
IMG_5387 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr

the pedal car photobomb…
IMG_5388 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr

Radiator support mounted loosely in place…new hardware...
IMG_5393 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr

Next was the inner fenders, then the remainder of the front cap…
IMG_5399 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr

IMG_5401 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr

Oh yeah… the wheel deal fell through, so the 20's are back on for now… although, they are still for sale and I am in need of a steel wheel for a spare, and a friend of mine offered me four steel wheels and the same money as the previous deal... just waiting on the money again...
Here's a side shot with the hood (Bonnet) set in pace…
IMG_5414 by Donald Olivo, on Flickr

one more, just because...
