Headache, my heads feeling like a football
« on: October 24, 2003, 12:42:43 AM »
Might have been the whiskey, could have been the gin, could have been the three or four six packs, but look at the mess I'm in. Last night some buddies came over for an all nighter build. I prepped the frame of a 87 Sammie by streaching the frame and body 10 inches to accept a 351 windsor with dual prediator carbs mated to a T350 transmission and Jaguar rear end. We got all this done in one night, we started with ex amount of nuts' n bolts and after all is said and done, I had more than a coffee can full of them left over. Next week me and my wreaking crew are going to build a weighted front end and an aluminum spun fuel tank to mount on the front.
I managed to find some 33" paddles for the rear wheels and haven't given any thought as to what use up front for this pulling tractor. Suggestions  ???

Yeah...my wife was taking polaroid photos during the build, I was too snockered to realize they weren't digital that's alright one of my buddies has a flat bed scanner later we'll have them digitized.
