Helpers..

Raising a family while attempting to complete projects like this can be a challenge.
today my youngest woke from her nap just early enough to help me with the wiring job.

while my eldest practiced her hammering technique..


More photos of wires later..

Small projects.. Take the most time.

its amazing, how a little simple project, takes the most time..

assemble, fabricate, tack weld, disassemble, finish weld, reassemble... test

what a day.. in the end.. it works!

You just cant make this stuff up!

Last week Pennsylvanians celebrated the "February thaw out" at the annual flea market (of the same name) held in Leesport, PA.

I never expect to find much.. as the thaw out is held on one of the coldest days of the year, and as a rule.. its a small affair. However I did manage to convince my buddy Kevin to sell me a carburetor he no longer needed, and my pals JON and "chopo" delivered some wheels that have made a rather lengthy journey.

In addition, a group of "us" (as opposed to "THEM" guys that didn't show) decided to enjoy breakfast (and scrapple!) at a local diner following the swap.. so it was destined to be a good day..

I picked up some random stuff..

but of most note this;




which the seller insisted was for a model a windshield..

as it turns out..

it fits a upper tailgate on a ford woodie..




BEST 2.00 I spent all day!
