you bring out the best in this place Dave, that boy of yours is gonna have a blast roddin the hail outa that Mopar!
tell him to be careful of girls that wear those fancy jeans with spangles upon them, as you're skinning them while she's laying on the hood it can leave some ugly scratches!
on a serious note, does he take any interest in dad's projects?

Looking good Dave, that "self portrait" is classy to the max BTW!

Oh yes, he sure does. His 77 F250 4x4 is next, he's very anxious. Super wet glossy glassy black for that one.
Something clever here.

The time seems apporpriate to bring up the wheels and tires again. What are you going with Dave? (You have probably told us 100 times in this thread but I can't remember)  These will be going back on for now, until I can afford to replace them. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/101_4214.jpg) Crager SS,...accept no substitutes,

It's your car and you did a good job on it,...but *damn!,...a tangerine paint job with a black vinyl top and black leather interior sure woulda been a standout.

yep, those are on my short list in wheel selections. Most of those cragars are made in the US too. I may get a set in the specific drilled pattern, not a fan of uni's.

looks mighty nice. What is the blonde wood and how do you deal with expansion and contraction in different woods and with grain running at 90 degrees in the border, relative to the center. Does the center float?

Does the center float? the wood is walnut and maple,both in the same family,similar expansion. Its all glued up solid. I made one similar,except it has a cherry border about 15-20 years ago,hasnt split yet,we'll see on this one heres the older one ![[Linked Image]](http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j247/joelbrown_01/check3.jpeg)

Very nice tables - the old one looks great too.
Free walnut is good stuff. I have 6 logs, each 8.5' long sitting out back waiting for the sawyer. Another 3 logs are still standing on the stump. I'm about to be oversupplied. With a little luck, I'll be able to get it kilned for free as a student class project. I've got lots of cherry and I'm about to have lots of walnut. Could be worse. Someone just gave me a good bunch of mesquite too. I've got a ways to go on the skill side though.
Tom, in car lingo, what does "tubbed" mean? I don't speak the language.
