Default Tomorrow is Piggie's 46th birthday!



In a party mode.



In a serious mode.

It's due (over due, actually) for a present next week. I'll take pictures.

Well, you might not be excited...





But Dooie, Amman, SAM, and I are. Birthday present comes (goes, perhaps) next Wednesday, when the date with the Beauty Parlor commences. Thanks to wife and neighbors, we're ready for the flatbed.

Given that only ATIS offered kind words for Piggie's 46th birthday, am I to assume that there is equal interest in his time in the Beauty Parlor's chrysalis?

At an earlier stage in the process. Much of the frame had to be refabricated.

I'd love to see a finished photo of the XK-120!

Danny brought the engine home today:





Gave a good test of the 8 screws holding my right clavicle together!



Tucker seems to approve.

Danny commented that the oil looked brand new, but there's lots of junk in the cooling inlet.

Not certain when, but he'll be bringing the body here while they do frame and mechanicals. Found one ear on the gearbox cracked, otherwise no major surprises (but for a lack of focus problem!)

Tucker is a BIG Dog! That's a neat little rolling engine stand.
