All you guys are awesome. God forgot to give me a healthy portion of patience. I just want to see it. It’s not like it’s ready to drive. Lololol

Hi everyone!

Today is the day the engine is to arrive at the body shop. Im excited. Not too excited. I have been told this before. I have feeling it actually might happen. I will post pics tonight if it arrives.

The big brick of an engine should be cranking out a massive 125 aprox of raging 1929 horsepower. lololo Im ready for the quarter mile.

I want to thank every one who warned me about the babbits. When they boiled the engine they started to show signs of cracking and breaking apart. Im not sure we would have noticed if we had not had the heads up from many of you. A few more bucks now, saved a huge headache later.

Fingers crossed and I will check back tonight, hopefully with photos. Rick

The wood frame is still 100%. Its only a small line of rot on the rear body panel.

Hi Everyone,

More chrome just came back to the shop. It was the bumper and assorted parts. I was impressed, the bumpers are perfect on BOTH sides. I assumed the back side might be a little rough. The chromer indicated that they stick out far enough that he will not have his work show any less than perfect on both side for people to see. I like this guy! He is a funny man that lives out in nowhere. He is currently working ona duesenburg and my pierce. He selects only a few cars every couple of years to do. Here is the funny part. he wants to sell his chroming shop and raise exoctic lizards. lolo Wow! How far apart is that?????

The engine is still being assembled. Patience is not my best quality. That infamous statement, “about two weeks “. I think I have heard those words hundreds of times in the past year. Oh well, the car is on its way back. It should be loads of fun to see shiny things being put together, rather than rust, old paint and dirt being taken apart.

I will be gone for the next two weeks so no updates. I am going to see the mechanic tomorrow. I will see if there is anything new or worthwile taking pics of. If yes, I will post them before I leave.

Things that are yet to return home: Chrome wheels and lock rings, custom luggage and all the accesories i found thanks to all you guys. (I love the pierce vacum), Reskinned trunk, more chrome, (this is a never ending proposition), and new tires. I think that is it. Im sure the odds and ends will kill me at the end.

More to come. Have a great week everyone!!

Rick
