The guys keep calling it "the 38" so no actual name as of yet....

I have let the 11 year old mess around with driving a standard in the driveway. And both girls I have shown how to drive our model t's as well.

I started acquiring more parts for next years machine I want to build (the 31 pickup)

I have been buisy fixing other folks old cars... so the only personal car repair I did recently was replacing the bad engine in our 72 van... I did a little work to it internally (stoked, balanced, and roller cam) to give it more power on the mountains. And decided to go a little further with aluminum heads. But glad I got that done with.. what a pain to do!!! I was going to just redo the old 302 stock but figured If I have to do such a pain of a swap with thr AC and power steeing and no room. I may as well make it get out of its own way.

My green f1 that I just redid got to be in some photo shoots this winter as well.. one for family Christmas photos. Which they gave us a few shots of us with it.


Lastly. Since I shared some music before.. here is a chistmas song we wrote with the kids and recorded..
