It occurred to me I should mention that my multi-year Mary Stuart RSR (MSRSR) project is back from its first round of paint.

Back on the Celette to finalize fitment of the Mary Stuart rear quarter panels I sculpted for this project (I reproduced them from internet photos – thank you Art Degree.)

This has been a massive undertaking for both me and the car’s owner – it’s a labor of love at this point. LOTS of metalwork in this one (it began as an ’87 3.2 Carrera)

(yeah, I need to finish construction work in the shop also..)

So what’s the first thing we do after paintwork? Cut out the custom cage so that a historically-correct roll bar can go in its place for that perfect silhouette!

natch.

My father has been living with us since my mother passed in December.  Yesterday we returned to my home town to finish up some unresolved items relating to the funeral – by 3:00 dad was in the ER.

It’s been an intense year already and we’re barely into February.  I’m interested to see what the new normal will be.

With any luck, he and I go back [to my] home tomorrow.

I’m designing a panhard drop bracket for the 3rd generation 4Runner.

I’ve designed a panhard lift bracket for the 3rd generation 4runner.

purge update: 993, M3, R75/5, and Z600 have shuffled off my mortal coil.

putting my shoulder into 207 and the m715; will escort them out like a good host, as well

taking a basic Blueprint reading class 

– because I’ve caused some confusion during machining when my self-taught printmaking allows interpretation 

3 errors in the textbook so far (1/3 in)

it’s been a long weekend.  time to purge.

i have lots of well-intentioned projects that have more or less died on the table and must be converted into more useful things.
