What are the hours? I have to work Saturday, so I plan on coming Friday.

That sounds cool, I could stop by when I get off work since I'm only a few miles away. It would be nice to meet some local guys, but my deuce is far from ready for a show, much less the road.

But you could lube up your whale with it.....

That show is not that old, it was filmed in color.....

Tire fires on trucks are hard to put out with just one water can. By the time they catch fire, there's a lot of heat stored up in the rim an hub that can cause reignition. You can use dry chemical, just use it first to knock down the flames, then use water to cool the tire. I'd use 2 or 3 if...

Yep, that's the OD tranny. A very unusual shift pattern.

Hmmm, that clearance looks kinda scary. But I really like that station wagon, what model is that? (sorry, just reliving my youth )

Park your deuce on a level paved area. Make sure all your tires have the correct pressure and that the suspension is not racked from turning, drive straight onto the pad. Measure the bottom of the axles to the ground. That should be level, if it's not, probably the suspension. Measure from...

What about brazing? Would that be strong enough to hold? I do have, an old CO2 extinguisher I could empty into it, it's due for testing anyway.

I'm really leary about welding fuel tanks, a lot of bad things have happened doing that. :shock:

Bump.

The quality looks good, but the right side looks to be a bit heavy on the black paint.

Okay, so I got some time and took a better look at the tank and started scraping off some of the paint that was flaking. Unfortunately, I found that it had a bad rust spot on the bottom that resulted in a pinhole leak. I determined that it was just the one spot, the rest of the tank other than...

You could also laminate it by building a jig out of plywood to the right arc, and then glue up strips of wood and clamp them. Might be easier than steaming a thicker piece of wood. Use Tightbond waterproof glue and a lot of clamps.

Nice, wish I had some extra cash....:drool:

Not to mention, if you have blowby or bad rings, you could have some diesel in addition to oil. I wouldn't ever weld on any kind of "container" that had petroleum products in it.

Just a note on the seatbelt thing, in thirty years in the fire service, I've only seen two accidents where people burned. But it really didn't matter about the seatbelts 'cause they were dead before they burned.

The turret hard top will definitely be an eyecatcher, they're pretty rare for a hard top.

I can't see going through all the hassle and expense of converting to an automatic. The standard is going to be easier and cheaper to work on. Not to mention parts are readily available. It's not like switching trannys in a Ford pickup.
