Carson's C-121

Yes, the tall ones to the left.

Hello Gene, it’s Carson, I was wondering when will you be ready for us to pick up the tractor

I don't have a good idea of when it will be done but at least now I can get back to working on it now that I know the decision on the rear fender. 

I asked about the fender because that is what was next.  If you wanted the updated fender I would have got a good fender out, a good hood, and painted them along with the steps and side guards that are ready so everything would be from the same batch of paint.  

It was just a few days short of a month waiting on that reply and there were a few things I could do that are in the updates in here but then the work stopped and I found other things to do as to not rush you on a decision.  When we talked about this on the phone I had said take all the time you need checking on body shops to see if you guys could find someone who would do it and if it took awhile I have tons of other things to do just let me know.

As work is done this post is updated, unless peeps keep me out here till close to or after bed time...  I planned on getting ready to start on it again August 4th the day after I got an answer on the fender and started clearing a work bench to do so.  It was cleared toward the end of last week but then I had other peeps here from PA last Friday from morning till 3:30PM picking up parts, someone here all day last Sat, and all day today.  I never know what a day will bring so I just take one day at a time like I'm supposed to then see what the next day brings.  It's only me doing everything here and I often wish I could see the future but oh well...  

Anyway, that is the reason I'm not sure when it will be done.  There's still a lot to do and pretty much the past month has been mostly down time.  When it gets close you will see it in the updates in this post.  No one wants it done more than me because with something that nice in the shop it stops a lot of other things I need to do that may cause it harm, even though I keep it covered up.  

 

I'm good to go now but as I said in the last post "I never know what a day will bring so I just take one day at a time like I'm supposed to then see what the next day brings.  It's only me doing everything here and I often wish I could see the future but oh well... "     

We are in a state of emergency over the weather now.  It started Monday night and it's a real mess here.  We got more bad storms, lightning, high winds and rain yesterday just during the day than in a month not counting Monday night or last night.  It's the worst I've seen in the almost 50 years I've lived here.  Nothing is reliable now and the biggest thing is power.  There's yet another front coming through here in about 15-30 mins.  I guess all that can be done is see what tomorrow brings...    

 

I'm trying to paint the steps and side guards but so far it's impossible.  It's almost 85 and 90-95% humidity in the shade by 8:30AM and at lunch today it was over 105 and 50%, (see pic).  It's still a swamp around here from all the rain that won't seem to stop and more coming in Monday but I'm watching things closely and will get going on them as soon as humanly possible...
