It's difficult to get the wonderful detail of the Alfa across. Here are four pictures showing where I'm at now. The Engine is finished for the most part and is ready to be installed in the chassis. Front and rear axles and suspensions are finished. The brake shoes are done (they are the silver things on the round plate - just got painted yesterday. The main project right now is to assemble the main elements of the car except for the body panels. That will allow me to move into the next step of fine tuning where the dash, firewall, seats, etc fit. Lot of detail to do there. All that so I can put attention into fitting the body, doors, bonnet, etc. With almost 2000 parts in this kit it is very detailed, and all of them need some sort of tweaking or tuning before they meet muster. A perfect thing for me to be doing and I'm enjoying it a lot.
Feeling OK, some pain in the side increase. My hospice nurse, Temma, is coming by this afternoon for her weekly checkup. Leg swelling is still an issue and I feel quite boated and tight in the abdomen. Also beginning to get a rash on my ankle. Had another small dizzy spell a couple days ago, so have officially stopped driving and I'm very careful on the dock, always with my cane. Don't know how this is going to end but drowing is not part of the agenda ;') Started off a nice, sunny, cool day here in Seattle and at this moment I'm enjoying having Julia Child's dvd's on. They were the gift for renewing Public TV. What classics!
