Procrastination, Paint, and Bare Metal

Howdy Stranger!

I'd love to make all kinds of excuses for my apparent lack of progress such as:

• I was practicing for and performing in two productions of Handel's Messiah with my son.

• I had to host at Easter
• I was helping my Dad put a roof on his house

• I had to visit my Grandparents
• I had to do field research and ride in my cousin's Sonett
• I put a ceiling on my back deck so I can barbecue in the rain

• It's been rainy and humid
• I've got a new big project at the office
• I had a campout with our Cub Scout den

But I won't.

Because, the fact is I'm just plain lazy.

And it'd all just be excuses and procrastination anyway.

Instead I'll catch you up to what few things I have managed to get accomplished since the last posting.

I got a few parts cleaned, 

rust treated,

and painted.  (At least the base coat)

I tried my hand at bending and double-flaring gas and brake lines, and reassembled the horns.

And I got some of the paint off the chassis.  

(That's my good buddy J in the background - without whom I wouldn't have gotten the job done - If I look p.o.'d, it's because he made me work all day.  I thought we were just going to sit in the back yard and drink beers!)

So there you have it - Proof that I'm a slacker. . .
