So, the big weekend is almost here. No, not homecoming, that one is still a ways out. I'm talking about the big weekend where my Dad and I will get the Spence car well on the way to a roller. We had a setback in the wheels as the powder coat color did not turn out quite right, so we'll have to take another shot at that. In the mean time, here are a couple pictures of the spinners that Dad is polishing up. This is the various stages of completion. Below is our dashboard with the instrument holes plugged up so that we can re-lay out the instruments. Many more pictures to come through the weekend.

Our plans are to install the narrowed rear suspension, finish up and install the engine, work on the tranny, run some fuel and brake lines, and have a lot of fun. Stay tuned for images!

Thanks!! All my fears have been relieved. Good Story. There are people who never want to take responsibility for their inability to do something and will always try to blame someone else or something for their failures.
