i don't normaly drink and fabricate but i was in "a mood" tonight and felt the need to put a buzz on. i also felt the need to actually create something. i just have'nt scratched that fabrication itch lately and since i've been mulling over in my head for days (more like weeks) about building a jockey shift for my BSA i decided that just because it was 10:30 at night was no reason not to get started.
well Mongo came over with the intention of workin on his 60 Olds, but he slept in (3rd shifter) and by the time he got here we decided (with the rain and all) we'd just go see Lords of Dog Town instead. well, like i said, about the time we got back from the movie i was Jonesin to build somethin. i told him to back the ass end of the Olds in the garage so we could start on the custom taillights and i could work on the Beazer. i did some fingerin on his Olds and made a template and told him to cut two pieces out of sheet metal. he got one cut out (ROUGHLY) before he was fallin asleep in the chair. i sent him to the guest room while i toiled away on my jocky shifter, taking the occasional pause to drink another PBR and contemplate calling it a night. well, it's a little after 5am now and i JUST finaly came in the house. hell, and instead of going to bed i'm jaberin away on the internet. (i like to talk when i've been drinkin).
aywho, this is how far i got tonight. i have some work to do on some of the holes and few more to drill. i also have some final finish grinding to do on the shape. i'm sure i'll look at it tommarow and go "what the hell was i thinkin". but hey, right now i'm likin it.
here it is and then i'm off to bed...
