We're starting a 10 day run of over 100 degree days. The hottest is going to be 110F...I think they said next Wednesday. Will got my misters up over the Aldabran yard just in time. How are you Arizona folks doing? Are you in the monsoon season? When I run my ceiling fan along with the evaporative cooler, it's pretty comfortable in the house. I don't go outside after lunchtime unless I have to. It's hard for me to breath when it gets that hot.

@Jacqui : Is that stranger gone again?
We will get up to and maybe over 105 in San Jose also, can you believe? This is "THE BAY AREA".......I think our nature cooler (the San Francisco Bay) are just not cool enough this week or next 10 days.

104 today. I made a peach crumble from random pantry ingredients (used up some peaches I canned a few years back mixed with peach pear marmalade I had canned, all topped with oat crumble) And I made some iced tea on the stove top.

Trying to decide what to make for dinner, if anything...

If I were you, I would eat the peach crumble for dinner;)

Beautiful, Mike.....I'm looking for touch up paint and taking it to an upholstery guy. Gonna fix it up and start putting it in our small car shows. All the small towns round here have great car shows and swaps every week end. I know it's kinda junky, but the cops have told me I'm the only IROC registered in Benton County. Anyhow, sounds like fun to me, after I get it painted and seat sewed. It doesn't have to be perfect, just close. After all it's a daily driver. Gonna find some Edlebrock valve covers and spray clear over a clean engine....then sell it.

Already did it . Prevention is key . Haha

It's so much easier to do things when its all torn apart, isn't it? He's a Ford guy and I got a nice long educational lecture on that engine after I showed him the pics.

Yeah it is . We worked on getting the bed a cut in today . When we weld it the bed sides are going to be welded so it looks like a unibody . The bed sides will give the hole where the old filler cap was . Then we will need to build a floor in the truck . Most of the hard work is over .

Yeah , Maggie finding a matching wheel for your car isn't as easy as I thought. Still on the lookout for one . It's funny how you see them all over the place,but when you need one they go into hiding.

What's the wheel look like? I can put Chris on the hunt. And for the love of god if anyone needs a carburetor ask me first. I think I stacked 50 of them when we moved. Old, new, rebuilt, who ever sold Chris his shop left a TON of stuff.
