Another Exciting Weekend in the Life of a Hot Rodder
It’s not every weekend that one finds the time and opportunity to just be a bloke and pursue his hot rod interests.
I must admit, my 21 year old daughter who grew up in such an environment, rolled her eyes back when I explained what a good weekend I had planned. Well, she did ask.Friday night after work I squeezed in about 5 hours of engine reassembling on the 350 Chev, in preparation to put it back into the coupe for the last time, for a long time, I hope. The motor was getting new bearings and rings and the heads were being prepared to run with LP Gas. I also fitted a new low rev-hi torque camshaft to help out with the high cogs in the new 9″diff. That was Friday night and part of Saturday, before going to a shed warming party at Big Al’s to celebrate his new shed and surrounds being completed at his new house.
Next hot rod activity, was the official low key opening of a new Äuto One” auto parts store. The business is being started by some fellow members and old friends from the West Coast Street Rod Club that I have known for a squillion years. Naturally the opening was well advertised to local hotrodders and a show n shine was held in front of the store. Naturally I took a few happy snaps for the Cyberhotrodders.com Events photo gallery.
The guys and gals had hot dogs, hamburgers and drinks available. Later in the afternoon there was a monster raffle with free tickets and plenty of prizes to around. All in all a great day to catch up with the guys.Engine building, garage warming, checking out hot rods and bench racing…all in one weekend. Why did she roll her eyes for?
