The ones I've seen have no nuts.

Well, we are back at it. I have been taking some time to recharge and get my feet on the ground after getting back into the trucking industry last year. Still working on house, GMC and lakester in that order.

Also, I had talked about Orange Aid roll bar padding with a few folks then it just vanished from the market. I see someone new is selling it now. http://shop.wheelezewheels.com/Orange-Aid-oaid001.htm Yes it is SFI approved. I wish the original write up was posted with it.

I have also been learning patternmaking. Here is some work back from the foundry. 5"x1.5" accessory switch panel.

Just a note to friends. Still here. Got my brain back into things. Baseball has started to consume our summers and it is good. Will get back on the lakester at some point. for the first time in ages I care about the project!

Thanks for the post Trent. That's good news.

You don't get a redo raising kids so the time you're investing is well spent.

Actually dad and I were going to bring LilT out to the Salt this year but all summer activities kinda crescendoed on that first weekend of Speedweek for us.

Been wondering about you, Trent.

Nothing wrong with baseball, and good on ya for doing the dad thing in a righteous way.

We'll be here - the lakester will eventually collect enough dust that you'll get PO'ed enough that you'll get to it.

Good hearing from you, Chief!

My projects tend to go in surges... I get a chunk done... take a break to mull stuff over and do family things... then get another chunk done... etc.... 

The mulling period seams to make the time I get to work on it more productive since I generally have a decent plan by then.

Trent, good to hear you're still around.
If you build it they will come!!!!!.

I lurk and have been getting back into the Tuesday chats. Trust me, I am pissed about many projects!

[tauruck]

Trent, being pissed about projects is what keeps us alive.

I have missed a few Chat sessions over taking the kids to batting practice.  I could only book Tuesday nights.  Now I can get Thursday so I will annoying be the participants with my meaningless contributions.

Update! After a couple years sitting in Tulsa my transmission made the trip home a couple months ago. I had it for sale for a while thinking it was not needed given the current state of the lakester. After dealing with many tire kickers on the tranny and tripping over it in the shop it has grown on me. Slowly digging out that corner of the shop and starting progress on the car. Need SOMETHING to get me off the fence it and other projects. There is NO timeline. I will be on the salt again this year with Tim.
