Ok I pulled the pickup apart enough to get to the Vin number and sent it to the owner. I ran it and it comes up as being built in June of 1930. My work on this done for the moment so I'll head for home.

After thinking how much work it's going to take to remove everything to get to the Vin number on the pickup I've gone to work today to start. I said I'd have it by Monday afternoon so I'll have to get at it !

Ok after Cars n Coffee today I came back to my shop and awaited the arrival of my next job a 30 or 31 pickup that needs a vin number right off. I'll have to unbolt the fenders and running boards and lift the body up and pull off the side aprons. There should be a Vin number on top of the frame at about the middle of where the cowl sat. That will be my job to do Monday and text him pic's of the Vin number and he can start the DMV paperwork to try in get a pink title on it. Now I have to do a house call to this guy's brother's place to put a rebuilt carb on his car.

Got my ski boat cleaned up and ready to take over to be stored and have a lien sale done on it. Looks like it matches my truck - maybe repaint my truck to match and keep the boat !

I'm thinking of getting the ski boat I have ready to take over and get a lien sale done on it starting tomorrow or the next day to make it legally mine. I may sell it afterwards who knows.

Ok it's been a fairly decent day working at my shop once again. I've restored a Zenith 1 Model A Ford carb and got back working on my Cobra. The carb has everything new inside after I cleared out all the passages and even put in a new venture. The Cobra I set the timing and installed the distributor and new condensor and crab cap and wires and got new spark plugs and gapped them. Making some progress but there is several things I'll be redoing on the car before it hits the road again.

06/03/2026

For folks out there watching my progress at my shop it's been a pretty good day. I got the valve covers all painted up and installed. Also got the front of the motor on - water pump / alternator / brackets and the distributor and air cleaner on. It is looking pretty good but I still need to install new spark plugs and a condensor and clean up the distributor crab cap n wires and install.
