Don’t give up inside your garages. It isn’t always easy and it isn’t always hard. (Winston Churchill) or like the rod builder in Vilhelmina Niklas Johansson says: I’m trying to do at least something every day.
Project Cubalincoln
This last month has been all about 1/3 Inch. In July I won’t have time to do anything else besides traveling with the competition and the band but for me, lying on the concrete floor with a flash light and stare is considered resting. As I have stared in July.
Editor Magnus Karlsson on Bilsport Classic has taught me to not publish a project restoration until it’s completely finished. Thanks’ for the tip, Magnus. That has saved me.
The chassis-front-beam-shit is way too close to the oil-pan-pain which is too close to the stabilizer-bar-crap. I can see it, it’s gonna be noisy, make a horrible racket and chafe a big hole and 15-W40 is gonna spurt from the pan in Haggenas eleven thirty at night.
– I don’t know anyone in Haggenas. I don’t even know where it is. That’s why the breakdown will happen right there, on some morass just north of where the there’s no cell phone reception and mosquitoes are hatching like in a reenactment of Cocoon.
I took down the gear box beam yesterday for the third time, sawed off the attachment I built and bended the motor so it hit the stabilizer bar. 1/3 Inch! I won 1/3 Inch to the front chassis beam. The American and custom builder Chris Johansson from Three Crowns Shop in Maryland dropped by just then.
– Do you approve, I asked?
– Absolutely, he said. That’s much more than you get on many modern cars.
Remaining is to bend the stabilizer bar and build a new attachment for the gear box again but the project progressed in July.
– With a 1/3 Inch.
