Re: Big Red Dog
A little sanding, a little spraying. Yeah, I can see that happening quickly. But I'd bet it won't be RED!

Re: Big Red Dog
Good to hear from you. Hope all is well and warm in your part of the world.
Workin too dang much to call it retirement. Its too dang cold to be outside. Adding an extension onto the shop and the concrete guys agree with the above statement. But I do have a new 3.73:1 Dana 70 HD on the rear and a new '73 front end with discs on the front. Sad though, the pre '73 Alcoa rims don't fit over the calipers or the hubs. Looking for post '73 Alcoa rims. Man, a disk would be really nice. Thanks. Dave. |
Re: Big Red Dog
Hey Dave just checking in on ya seeing how things are going. Did you get a chance to look at the disc between working/retirement lol? All is good on the home front here hope the same there. Looking forward to some progress pics someday..

Re: Big Red Dog
I had left on a mini-RR the day you posted. Yup, I've looked at it and it looks great. 136 jpegs of your work, suitable for framing.
Man, looking back on that again amazes me at the transformation that took place in your garage. I take every opportunity to show this thread off. Everything is in the garage and out of the weather being "princessed". The T/A is in the driveway and may have to be moved one more time before dismantle. But... I went to work yesterday wearing a fleece jacket embarrassed and sweating in 72' F. When I got off this am, it was ice, snow and 29' F. I was glad I brought the jacket, then. I have a shop extension that might play into the dismantle of the T/A. Last fall I contracted a 20x36 pad extension with 10x20 driveways on each end. Weather caught us and it will be poured this spring. It may serve as the site of destruction if they get to it soon enough. I did find a set of steel wheels that I will strip with electrolysis and probably powder coat. I may be calling you for your opinions when I get there. I really don't want to try electrolysis in freezing weather. Or cold weather for that matter. Good to hear from you. Hope you and all your projects, both garage and n0n-garage related, are going smoothly. Dave. |
Re: Big Red Dog
Was wondering... Glad everything is ok up your way... We took a minication to Texas to c family and was going to go to goodguys show but I wasn't about to get my daughter out in 30 weather for me to see some cars... Oh well! Man I'm getting anxious to see it back togather and running. Glad the pictures and out and framing is a good idea, think I will buy one of those electric frame slideshow things for my truck!!! Everything so far so goo at my camp just startin to look for the next BRD project lol... Keeping an eye on here.

Re: Big Red Dog
Here I am at work trolling my favorite haunts and I see Big Red Dog is up. I was hoping that you'd finished her off. Not really.
Everybody is healthy. I have new knees and am agile and walking without a cane. I looked outside a few days ago, thinking I'd start pulling the LS1. But there was a foot of snow on the ground and it was 3 degrees with 35 MPH winds. Then I thought, naw! Plans are to restart the project this spring. It doesn't have to be good weather, just not sub-artic. Somebody ought to be getting bigger now. Can she tell a 1/2 inch open end from a hammer, yet? Great to hear from you Troy. I'll make sure you are invited to watch the progress. Dave. |

Re: Big Red Dog
Never cried a day in my life till my twin girls were born, now just seem to melt me the things they do. Life is good.

Re: Big Red Dog
She is sure cute! Cookie and all. My youngest was about half the size of her older sister for the first few years.
You put your truck in that? Assembled? I wouldn't think it would fit. |
Re: Big Red Dog
82" between the fenders and just shy of 98" total inside. Haven't had it in there yet but it will fit. My other trailer was 82 inside fenders and had room to spare. I might have to build a ramp over the fenders so I can open the doors vs climb through the window. Thanks Dave she's my little doll. She's small for her size but me and her mother really aren't breaking any height records lol

Re: Big Red Dog
I don't remember telling this tale. I had an 80 something corvette once. hauled it on the red trailer I used for Big Red. Sat so low I couldn't open the doors. Had to climb out the windows. But it wasn't covered and rain would spoil the innards. Therefore, I justified driving really fast so I would get there before it rained.
At least I had an excuse. Dave. |
