not much going on since i'm saving for my wife's nursing school. we dont qualify for any assitance....but darnit to betsy that keeps me from my Packard! geesh, don't they know this! lol!

i restored my Grandmother's old cedar chest, but left some of the old charm on it. polyed the top to a hard shell, we use it as a coffee table. found the fine arts section of the fort worth star telegram from 1962 lining the bottom of it, so its old. i sanded the top flat again and then coated it all up. the side are just one fresh overcoat of provincial stain. i matched the top pretty good i'd say.

i got bored one night and took apart my starter to start getting it cleaned up and so that if i get lucky and have some extra money i can restore it.

Untill then, i put the body back on the Packard and pushed it into the third bay and covered it up with a huge tarp. poor girl.

probably gonna take apart the generator to clean at the same time.

but when my wife finishes nursing school...she should start working at over 50k per year. so Packard progress will fly then.
