ZOMBIES

Hot Rods and Halloween

Like most of my weekends, the one just past turned into a mix of work and play. The play happened at a variety of local Establishments, all of them trying to have the BEST HALLOWEEN PARTY! I don’t know that one was best, but they were all pretty fun. I always come away from Halloween parties thinking that: People are very creative, and some must have too much free time if they have that much time to spend on a costume. And after looking at the some of the costumes, I have to wonder what kind of fantasies are being played out on this one night when pretty much anything goes. Maybe I don’t want to know. Regardless, a good time was had by one and all, and if somebody didn’t have a good time, well, they’ve only one person to blame. For more Halloween pics, take a look at the new Wolfgang facebook page later this week when we’ve posted the weekend’s bounty - http://www.facebook.com/wolfgangpublications.



The only real danger to partying on Saturday was the zombies and walking dead – they were numerous and hungry.


There were cowboys. . .




. . . and there were Indians.




There were pretty bartenders . . .




. . .and there were famous musicians.




The work part of the weekend happened on Sunday. Rather than watch our Vikings actually win a game, I spent a chunk of the day in the garage with a good friend named Yup (aka Bob Larsen). Together we managed to figure out where to best mount the brake master cylinder, power booster and pedal assembly.

As the nearby photos show, the master cylinder and power unit assembly is now mounted under the floorboards. And yes, it does hang down a little farther than the bottom of the frame rail, but without going to a LOT of work that is about the only option open. Next I have to re-configure the pedal, finalize the mounting, paint the pedal assembly, and do all the plumbing.



A thing of beauty, is it not? The pedal needs a little work before it will work correctly, otherwise the rest of the work is a pretty straightforward bolt-together deal.
