Well, the preparations for Speedweek are going pretty much as planned.
Last week I made my yearly trip to the engine builder to threaten his future ability to father children if I don't get my motor soon.
Yesterday morning I decided to take advantage of the first dry day in two months and repack the wheel bearings on the trailer. I started by jumping into my tow vehicle and backing it into the side of my daily driver and discovering why the SCTA requires film on windows. Luckily I have a spare door and if you can't tell the diffenence between brown and black, its a match.
As I pulled the wheels off the trailer, lo and behold I find half of the rear spring is missing, and as a result two tires now have half of their tread missing.
Today I am going under the trailer to paint. I will be doing this naked, as I know the first thing to happen will be knocking over the paint can, and I don't want to ruin any more Bonneville T-shirts.
