I finally got down in the basement and started back on the 57 Ford,painted the side trim and while it dries got the monogram 29 Ford roadster p/u out that I started a few years ago and repainted the frame since I decided to leave it yellow that it came in instead of red since I used that paint for another project. While the frame was drying for the 29 I got out the 66 Cutlass convertible I started about 10 years ago and painted the motor and started putting the frame togather,I have a feeling its going to be too cold this winter to work in the garage so I will be spending more time inside. My girlfiend moved out and took her birds so the one spare bedroom is open and thinking about bringing my model table up from the basement and would probably get more done.

Model table is definately coming upstairs,now since I have a forced air furnace the basement is not as warm as when I had the gravity heat furnace. Its not bad but not anywhere as warm and cozy as with the old furnace.

I live in Ohio and I did get some work done on all three today,frame is togather and painted on the Cutlass and glass is being glued in the 57. I was wanting to build the 29 as a 50s hotrod but I do not have rims that will work but found a nice set of 5 spokes so 60s it will be.

I am building the 29 like I have not done in years and building it in the yellow it came moulded in,I was planning on painting it red and did paint the frame red so it got painted black and the rest is going to be left in the colors it came.

The 57 is beginning to look like a car and making some progress on the 29 and the cutlass will be worked on after I finish the first two.

Looking through the boxes I found another abandoned project,since I have a 37 Chevy p/u I picked up a orange blossom special 37 pulling truck and a 41 chevy p/u to build me a more stock looking 37 but have decided to build the 41 when I finish the first 3 projects. I was told at one time parts were available to build the OBS as a more stock looking 37 but I have never found them so I just might build it as a pulling truck.
