Day late...

Merry Xmas!

oh, and the pickup is now on hold and for sale. Picked up a 1965 MK1 Ford Cortina on Saturday, so all my engery will be devoted to that. Was tinkering with the ignition and carb yesterday, while my grandfather was hovering and mumbling. great thing to have that old man around, cuz he knows old cars, and between him and i, we were able to get the car cranking. found out the radiator had a leak, so i'll be taking the radiator and fuel tank to get cleaned and fixed, hopefully this week.

gotta remember to buy a electric fuel pump so i can rid the car of the mechanical one that's currently on there.

either way, day late, buck short, merry christmas.

Punk rock karaoke

Because this guy is one cool mofo. Went to the punkrock karaoke show last night with dave, daryl jills and brian. I'm really glad i went, twas a great show to end the year. although mike ness only sang on one song (sheena is a punk rocker by the ramones) it was great to see him again. The singer from pennywise was pretty bad ass and having seen floggin molly for the 1st time, we gotta see them come st. patty's day!

Oh and daryl got a number hahaha good on u foo.

Overall- Keep the Socal hot/rat rod theme on the pickup.

wow not much has changed lol

Found some random pix haha

so i found some old pix of Bob (moku) when he was a few weeks old and some of my old mans paintings, and thought i'd post em. Those two paintings, I've got prints of on my office wall, next to my Social Distortion Poster/Flyer of course! Enjoy.

Nothing at all...

Nothing has been goin on. Although, I did become a year older, was able to stop on by Heritage Garage to pickup parts for the rear subframe. Now I can completely rebuild the rear swing arms, so most likely i'll do that over the next couple of days. New wheel bearings, wheel cylinders, brake lines, new brake shoes and springs, cleaned up both rear arms, everythings got a new lick of paint on em.

Rears should be done very soon.
