Just seeing if the system is working properly. Have not seen any new threads for days. Are the upcoming holidays stealing all the time and $ budget away from the hobby?

There's new posts all the time in the Forums.

You are correct I don't see a ton of NEW threads or many replies in Oval though.

The Vintage photos thread at the top usually has new stuff daily.

We got our 1st snowfall here along the New Jersey coast on Sunday. they said 1-3 inches then 3-5inches. We wound up getting 8 inches. Roads are loaded with salt and of course today is 52 degrees. So my convertible is indoors for awhile until the salt gets washed away from the roads. Very little to do to it project wise other then to tune it up for Spring but i have plenty of time for that and my garage isnt heated....

I have been missing the lack of posting. I know most are in areas where the weather is no joke!

I have been cold here waiting for warmer days. Getting down into the 60s during the evenings and only reaching 71 during the days. Hard to work in the garage when it is that cold! Smile

I am somewhat joking! Just given you all something to smile about. I have been super busy with work. 7 days a week, right now. Heck I even missed the brewery last week! Seems every one of my customers and a few new ones want their stuff done BEFORE Christmas! How? I tell them, when they start changing stuff, how it will impact the completion date. But somehow I am still an asshole for accommodating their inabilities and their incessant need to change the plan!

All that to say, I have been working WAY TO MUCH! I need me some Bug time!

Speaking of Vintage Photos, I haven't seen any from Blue Baron in a while. Maybe I missed something?

I was hoping that I would be able to post more as I get into the ‘54s bodywork adventure! However, Cam, who will be doing this is still catching up on his own work…..he has a regular day job and talking to him on the weekend, we are aiming to start January. This work is expected to take over a year.
