On a cold winters day in Iowa the barn is not the best place to be so....We being of not so sound minds go Really Old School and take to the dog sled instead. Here are some pics of me and the dogs doing what they do best drag my raggity butt around, and the pics of Old School and even Older School transportation, plus my future codriver and hopefuly Lead dog. Hope you enjoy our odd kind of humor, winter gets a person a little crazy.. Oh the car is my version of Tims Dragster hauler.Ha HA.. Beth
I've been wondering what you guys have been up to other then trying to stay warm. Not the kind of winter to be working on a car in a cold barn.
Tim is my picture Guy so the thanks goes to him, he does a good job. As for the flathead help they need a little less hardhead help, The 2 of them are really pulling machines and We have 2 more big dogs to work with so.. With cars and dogs I have my work cutout for me.. I am glad you got a kick out of our winter fun, Thanks for watching my build. Beth
Tim was talking about making the car into a dog hauler, he has the big truck for the dragster so why not a little one for me? We can always make it removeable and I am back in the Speedster mode. Running with them was a blast and like a lot of my fun with Tim a first for me...Not the last I have big dreams for my 4 footed Buddies. Tim found a pic of the car hauler before it was one.... Dogs are always part of his life one way or the other..Beth/Musher
Hi Carl, Snowed in today couldn't get to work , So at 9 AM -10 degrees I was out walking the pup, even snow dogs don't like -10 degrees when they are puppys Neither do I ,,Beth
Winter is over. it should be spring,,,, No I live in Iowa,, An inch if snow on April 14. go figure,,,,There is only one way to fix that. move some car parts to the new work area in My barn. clean some bird stuff off the T's engine. and help Tim with some fine tuning on the Dragster...And such is life in the middle of nowhere in April. Hope you enjoy the pic's. Beth
I feel ya when it comes to snow, just got 5 inches over night. Set a new snow fall record here in Detroit.
Awesome thread. Subscribed. We are building a T Speedster and part of the reason for the choice was to take on a project that my wife and I could both do a lot of work on ourselves. I am sure she will be going through this entire thread. Will be posting our thread soon - we are starting with a chassis that is maybe 75% there and the wooden body, but still essentially building the car... Good luck and please keep posting on the car and the dogs!! German Shepherds are our other interest! Steve
Thanks for reading our thread, it is a long process, and now that Mother Nature is being a little nicer we can get more done. Snow in April however isn't my idea of nice. Need to get in my barn and get the rear end put together and keep moving along. Thanks again for following us. Beth
Snow in April go figure.. I need a little more sunshine, have a lot of work to do, one step at a time and steady as she goes and soon I will have a Model T to putt around in. Thanks for following us. Beth
Looking forward to seeing how you are doing. It is good to hear about another Lady car person, we are kinda few and far between. I am having fun working and learning at the same time. My Tim is a good teacher. The dogs are a big part of our lives also, I am working on building a sleddog team, 7 dogs is a huge start and a lot of work, but we will make it. I kinda want to make the car into a sleddog carrier, some how it just seams to be a neat idea, could be a new fashion statement. Good luck on your build I will be watching. Beth
Today I got Tim down in my barn/shop and away from his dragster. He was at a standstill so....I had the chance to have him help put the rearend together. We havd a few small cliches , bolts that wouldn't start and wrenches that seem to have a mind of their own, thus the pic of my toe, oh I know I should have shoes on but I seldom wear them. Now we have good weather we can get outside and back on track, dragster is #1 right now. I have been helping on that when Tim needs to give his old back a rest.Hope you enjoy the new pics..Beth
Oh Beth, Beth, Beth........ please wear shoes don't need no down time due to aches and PAINS.......................
Carl I think She is trying to be a charter member of your Bumps and Bruise's Racing Team Dropped rachets and flip flops don't go too well together,, Tim Jones
Great thread, I'm subscribed as well. I noticed in one of the earlier pics that you still had the crank as well. I'd keep that...non-functioning of course.
The crank will stay. Looks only ,I have heard horror stories about broken limbs from angry cranks Thanks for following our thread. Beth
My toe is back to being a regular toe again The stories of cranks are as early as my childhood from my Grandmother talking about their old Ford, some times it was just easier to take the horse...so we will just keep that in mind and there is always my dogs if need be We are getting ready to put the rebuilt rearend back in, one step closer. Here are some new pics. Thanks for asking about my toe. Beth
Whatever you do make 2 of them. That way i don't have to haul all the parts to my place. Just rebuilt ones thanks
I will get right on that Somewhere between Tims car , dogs , oh and my ever presemt birds. Here is what I do in my spare time , I sit with Shiloh the dog in Tims car. So it may be a while but I will build you a car too.
I love the dogs pictures! I am a dog person for sure. I relate much better to dogs than people. Dogs are special! Here is my guy Scout! And one with his cousin Elsie after swimming in the pond.
I also get along with critters better then most people ( Tim is not most people he is OK ). We have 10 dogs and I have 23 birds, there is always someone to talk to around here. With all the critters and car projects we stay REALLY busy, but it is a good busy. Your Little Buddy is a handsome young man . Thanks for following us on our thread. Beth
