Just for something to talk about!
I am going to put up a list soon about what is yet to be done to Henry.
Henry is a car I'm building. I don't like saying "car". There is street cars, train cars,
and mine cars. So this would be a motor car. Automobile sounds to formal.
So you will see me call it my "Fifty" (1950 Ford) when I don't call it by its name Henry.

The list will show mostly parts that still need to be added. The time consumed will be caused
by me waiting to budget the parts. What the list will not show in the work in between adding parts.

Cleaning, is a big part of the building of an old car.
There be be a lot more cleaning under the body, and will
get undercoated later, after the work is over.
There will be some black smith work, making brackets, and boring new holes
for the AC and other extras. Everything will have to be wired.
More cleaning. I will custom install new gas and brake lines.

The engine is here, so I'm very up beat and very
motivated. I can't wait to hear it run. I will post the engine specifications in
about a week. The paper work will be in the next shipment of small engine parts.

Stay tuned for the list of more things to do.
I still hope to have it on the road by 2007.
