As Steve Winwood blows out “Back in the High Life 🌅 again”🎵

……Dang it feels good back on track, watching the sun rise on a not hot, rainy Florida morning….Eleganza standing watch over a quiet lot.  What a great way to say hello to someone I haven’t seen in a while……the shop!  We have a blue tooth speaker in the big house….first person in gets to pic the Pandora channel……this is a nice placeAhhhhhh, that feels better……..

So it’s going to take a day just to sync back into what Jason has up.  Saturday we met with a coach…..and of course owner who wants as many as a reliable platform as he can have so he can feel better about goingBoy….THAT sounds familiar!  Yep, that’s job 1 on every project here.  No matter how nice you think your coach is….brother if you don’t feel good about taking a long drive it SHOULD be your prime focus.

The roller 455 fuel injected ground pounder is getting its beak in workout in MutcedesThe guys set it all up while I was away.  If the rain clears up maybe I’ll drive the EM-50 Motor to see Mike it’s creator…..my machinist.  The urban assault vehicle must prove out the motor before the transplant.

Tin Soldier is plugged in doing its thing while Bob enjoys his Covid escape podWhat’s that to the right?Well, WAS a 26′ Hertz handicapped airport shuttle bus when it came to us.  From there the front section was plopped on top of this 1989 P-30 Chevy chassis……And we even cut OFF @ 5′ from the back!  The plan is with the 7′ deploying ZipDee awning on the back over the door a 7′ patio behind the body then a tilt 1 car flat bed for Mutcedes…….and THAT will be a thing!

Oh but wait, we have still 32 projects…..one going out in Ruby and one coming in to the back of our mechanical Q…….its still a full house here……Thing 1 will take some time!

..

Ok….8am is coming up and the shop will come to life….and I need to as well…….well see ya tomorrow ” and as always….. Thank you for your support”……. Bartles & James…….
