It's Coming along

Chris is one happy guy lately, because he has been spending lots of time in the garage.



Taking this


and breaking it down piece by piece to make it a cross country worthy vehicle

The chassis is coming along
Chris spends a lot of time on the details - like grinding all the bolts

and detailing the brake drums

saftety wiring - everything

more details

demonstrating how smoothly it will ride - and he will take out springs; add springs - many times over to get the ride that he wants

Looking good!

Body work is a little slower - but getting there

Can't wait to go for a ride next spring!!

Fundraiser

My friend's family business had a horrible fire during Hurricane Irene. There are apartments above the business, which is where the fire started. Fortunately no one was home in any of the apartments, and the business was closed due to the power outages. Lots of smoke, flame, and water damage - so the business probably won't re-open until next spring.

The community gathered together & set up a fund raising event for the tenants who lost almost everything. It was a successful evening:

Good friends

Yummy food

Cool silent auction items

and great dancing (no pictures - too busy dancing)
