Oh yeah - if you can take a sound video of your better half yelling as well - it has been over 12 hrs since I have heard that sound and I am getting withdrawls like she doesn't love me anymore :deadhorse:
One mans junk is another mans treasure.
It needs a lot of components as you already know - but I think I can bring it back to a good usable state - Dinger can always buy a repo tub some time later on if he wishes.
Thanks again Clinto
my buddies bike blew his regulator - almost thougth it was his stator till I tested it. So I have that to pick up today and get done.
That is the tub Clinto donated and I got into the garage and started wacking on. :deadhorse:
Sat am early -
Here are some pics from today - painted Dingers chassis - just tooooo dang fancy for my likin.
If I was a gambler - I would call the garage now a full house. No one around today and I got the tub out from sittin on the driveway and into the garage and onto the stand and...
I've tried the paint w/sand method and several other including the adhesive.
What I have found best is the Herculiner as it has the grit in it already - I used a paint stirer on the end of my drill to mix it. Laid out painters tape and laid it on in 2 thick coats - BEFORE the stuff dried I...
PB - I know the 26th he can't - seeing as I am escaping the premises he has to be here so the shop personnel can work BUT - you will have the chance to jump his chit the 30th for sure.
Going to get that chassis of his painted later today once I get outta work - that way he will have nothing...
Only have the drivers seat back to finish upholstering - may not be original - but it is a heck of a lot less expensive.
Going to paint Dingers chassis Marine Forest Green tomorrow after work - got his rims painted up today.
Got Debs cab mount kit in today
Got the front inner seal ordered for...
No major work done to show pics - every frickin part I ordered came in wrong and or missing pieces. :deadhorse::deadhorse::deadhorse::deadhorse: even gave them the old seal # to match what they would send (only one parts wrong as an example) If I had not been in this business for so long I would...
I remember you telling me while we were looking at it about the possibility of it heading out there. This is a great story and especially if you can be kept apraised from the West Coast end with pics of the restore.
Looking forward to seeing more.
I bought 8 of the MT/R with kevlar sidewalls and here are the pics.
These are one BA tire and that is all I have to say about that.
I deal with tires everyday and I spent 3 weeks at the Texas Tire Prooving grounds with Bridgestone yrs ago and after all that - that is why I chose these wisely.
Man you have NO idea how miserable I make her life - even I do not like to live with myself sometimes.
But - 33 yrs of marriage says something. I would have done it any other way.
The inner seal for Dingers RF hub should be in tomorrow and I can get the wheel on it. He has his master cylinder ordered and some other litte items liek the shield for it.
The tub mount kit for Debs is ordered. Will be working on her seat upholstering tonight in the house watch the "china...
PB - I am speechless.
The 26th we will be down and looking forward to seeing everyone and I will surely look over the 43. Then we can go off somewhere and figure out $.
Then try to keep my mind on getting the jeeps done.
An YES now I was looking frantically at them on the web - I think I...
Debs engine is at the rebuilders. I haven't enen thought of buying her new wire harness yet (24v) plug the ign wires/spark plugs. Her air filter system was MIA so I have to look for one. The 24v distributor has not been touched along with a lot of items for the engine install...
PB - pm me what kind of price range
I do remember them down there. I just know where I am at with these jeeps.
That'll give me something to think about.
I do not know if it was era correct - but I remember the 4077 MASH unit ambulancece.
I have seen them posted and checked them out - but they were out of touch so to speak. so what brains I have left faded away on the thought.
I didn't get an medical stuff for Debs for stretchers or anytihing...
