An update on whats left in the shop as the 60 Edsel Station Wagon, 60 Edsel parts car and the 50 Ford Street Rod have been sold.  So I decided to keep the 5 that are finished.   The chopped 51 4-door Ford won 2nd place at the Grand national Roadster Show and 1st place at the Autorama this year. The 53 "Karens Kaiser" is being prepared to go to the Grand National and Autorama in January and February 2015.  The money from the sale will go into the 60 Ford Starliner starting with a all new suspension using coil over and new steering. I will post on the progress.  The 1947 Hudson Super 6 has a new engine and is road ready.  My 1974 Ford F-250  (that I bought new in 74) is rebuilt and now has new tires after a blow out that took the left front finder out and did damage to the running boards that was repaired by Hot Rods by Dean who matched the 40 year old paint. If I find a project car that interest me I will start a new project until then just enjoy the

The 60 Edsel Station Wagon is finally back together and running.  I was able to find all the parts put it back together before doing the paint, glass, upholstery and chrome. All the trim is on except some of the glass trim and the roof trim.  The interior is back in with new carpet and door panels (not installed yet). I have a roll of seat covering material but no head liner. Seat belts were added. Could not find the ash tray for the back of the front seat. The inner fenders, radiator support and hood latch support were sand blasted primed and painted. The front gravel pan was missing and taken from the sedan parts car. The surge tank, fan and spacer were damaged and I found them on Craig's list in California. New water pump, fuel pump and fuel line to caburator installed. All the original wiring was repaired and used. new heater hoses and radiator hoses installed. New exhaust system was found on E Bay by Classic Exhaust that fit just like the original

The first part of June I was getting restless with no car shows sense February so we took the camper on a 3 day trip. Started the first day by driving to the Meteor Creator on I-40 east of Flagstaff 30 miles and arrived there at  9 AM as it was cool enough to leave Charlie (our dog) in the truck. The crater is 2.4 miles in circumference, 550 feet deep and 50,000 years old. You can not go down inside the crater but the look outs are good and there is a guided walking tour on the rim.

When we came out there was a 1940 2 door sedan towing a old trailer in the parking lot and I spoke with the owner and his wife. They are from Michigan and driving the entire Route 66 all the way to California. We drove from the meteor crater to Winslow and visited the
