Snow!!!

It seems that a lot of the work being done lately is the snow removal type. Every three days or so we are getting hit with a snowstorm. It's been snowing for the last 24 hours! My car has been parked at the bottom of the driveway more than it has been parked up at the house. Today I tried to get up to the house again and after I had stopped I tried to back down the hill. I started to slide and pick up speed; I must have slid 50 feet before I Hit the snow bank. I put it in reverse and spun the tires, which allowed the front of the car to slide around and head down the hill. I parked the car and walked! Here are a couple pics of the shop those that have been to the shop know the driveway and may be able to pick out the front door and the garage door in the one picture. (Doesn't this paragraph sound similar to the begining of my last post ?! It hasn't changed since the last post!)




Snow out of the window


Snow off the back of the building.

Can you see the doors?


But there has been progress on almost all of the cars in the shop. The TD that was in the accident is finished and ready to go home. We are waiting on the insurance adjuster to come and get his pictures then the car is off to it’s home.

“OUCH” has been fixed


On BlownTC, the rear half of the frame has been rust protected and painted. The front half will be done after the engine has been cleaned and painted. Also the body tub is in primer. So far it’s looking really good.

On the Beast all of the chassis parts have pretty much been cleaned and are beginning to get painted. Since we were waiting on the paint booth today I began to look at the center panel and decided to work on that a bit. It does look nice. I was able to polish up the original warning lights and am deciding weather to use the original knobs or not. I haven’t seen what is available on the market but I just have a hunch they won’t look as nice as the originals.
