Hank- Yes, I have a problem with those dang decals chipping, it gets expensive to replace them ever time. My son has a decal printer he makes tons of water decals for his side business making custom NASCAR prints. I am going to have him work on making me a few and see how they do.

Yes- I have been out for a bit, I spent two weeks in the hospital and just got paroled over the weekend. I was running really short of breath and could barley breath and talk at the same time. MRI at the ER showed I was riddled with Bilateral Pulmonary Embolisms. For those not in the Med field, Lots of blood clots in the lungs and one huge one in the right lung.

Hit the shop Monday and It about killed me. I am slowly getting up to speed but man, I am under the gun. I got about two weeks to finish a 54 Caribbean that is headed to Barrett Jackson in Arizona, 56J, 24 Stude, 1928 Stude by May 3rd for the show and of course 3 28 packs, 2- 49 packs for June show Along with a 59 Isetta, three engines, two tyrannys, and a partridge in a pair tree. Then Im headed into a 62 C1 Corvette. I need more shop help hahahaha

I cant agree more with Howard.... Do Not Mix F and Dextron, totally different properties and they do hold different shift characteristics..i.e. Dextron shifts noticeably smoother than F.

I warranty Transmissions running either fluid but I do tend to lean towards Dextron and very happy with its performance.

IF you do drain, dont forget to drain the Converter as well. Drain the brass plug, turn 180 and drain the other plug.

Kurt, our Thai Exchange Student had a field day building the 54 Caribbean.

This car is slotted to go to Barrett Jackson in Arizona. We will be detailing the crap out of the engine, We are sanding and smoothing the engine casting. Look how that cast head shines after 5 min of clean up.

Thank-You Hank very much appreciated. For the final wrap, I am going to make a crevice tool that conforms to the window details to see if I can get a deeper impression.

To be honest, I must share that YOU and the way you approach solutions on your projects has pushed me to think outside the box and toss traditions approaches to the side.

I have 3 1949 Pack 8's to wrap for Pack 2017. I am going to talk with the client today, He wanted Mahogany but I think the Dark Oak looks much better IMO.

I am off to the shop for the day, I am teaching a Thai exchange student how to build a 1954 Caribbean. Ill post the entertainment this evening.

Thanx again.
