Santa Loves the Snow

Santa loves the snow, but us mere mortals in Spokane not so much. Yes, it's pretty and it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, but all of us in the Inland Empire are still weary from the over 90 inches we got last year. Meanwhile work goes on in the hot rod shop and it's looking like Santa's place out there.

It's Week 4 for the '47 dump truck.

The dump bed on this truck was a WWII surplus unit that was a monster relative to the truck. We cut 36" from the length and 12" from the width to make it better fit the proportions of the cab.

Dustin is back to work on Paul's Model A pickup. This week we made water hard lines, installed bed wood, finished column drop, finished the hood and tie down straps, installed exhaust, built seats and installed the fuel tank.

Greg is working on the Mach 1. As usual, what loked like a little rust ended up being most of the back panels of the Mustang. We were able to save the rear quarters, but that was about it. This will go to Dan Rennick on Friday to begin paint and body work.

It is definitely looking like a white Christmas at Rod Builders. Next, the slaves (elves,guys) will have to move snow so we can move cars around. We have taken away all the sharp tools because we're going to be on suicide watch pretty soon with all this snow. HELP US!
