Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Jimbo....no updates? If they think you're not doing anything you'll get called up to active duty

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

:lol:yeah, I can't turn wrenches, watch Nascar, and type at the same time

JC was over yesterday, dropped off my hardtop, he was very impressed with your '67 grille. I think he may be in contact with you. My parking lts slipped rite in, and that whole grille fit well. I used old parts including the hood latch

Finished up the grille/core support area, working on the hoses now

Bought myself some presents for getting a new job, top box and a tool/work cart. Parts came from Tim Christian, grille hoop clips, some other parts. Still one of the best guys to deal with...

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

are you missing the grille center support?

Tim just sent me up some door seals; hope to see him the 8th or 9th down in Carlisle.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Not missing, just didn't put it in. It feels real solid without it, maybe later maybe not at all. I may modify it to use the bottom half....looks like I'm going to miss Carlisle, enjoy and buy lots of parts

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Looks like you'll have it fired up and runnin' cool in no time. Cool tool cart. I luv tools, lol.....

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

that sucks, I just came through your neck of the woods today. mama found a Ferrari in Philly that she HAD to have.. went ahead and made my trip to ScottH's place and picked all my goodies up since I was out that way... Sorry I didn't have a chance to stop in, pouring rain, Philly and a trailer was a little busy for me!

Here's a pic of what the new ride looks like... Little guy should like it!

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I would have opted for the Testa Rossa, dated styling, but still better than the Daytona:lol: No wonder our children grow up to be motorheads. What part of Philly were you in?

I wish I woulda known, JC came over and could've brought your parts, could've saved ya 4 hours of travel, Your right that was a very nasty storm, lightning was hitting all around us. Glad it didn't knock out the TV, indy was on.LOL

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I was actually near Cherry hill, NJ for the bed... my sons ceiling fan is this one... hopefully he likes speed!

This isn't his but you get the idea... i have clouds painted on the ceiling.. now I just need to find a few Japanese zero's for it to shoot at.

I also have some Mario Andretti autographed prints to hand in his room still...

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

That's cool, we used to fly airplanes(control line) as kids, put ribbons on the tail, and with two guys in a ring we could have dogfights. They were plastic to start out with, almost indestructable, well almost, but the motors always seemed to pull thru. Then you built the balsa wood models with the motor and continued on

Glad your bringing up Jr. the right way:lol:

Had to look at the pic twice, got it now...Corsair/ Navy no less

I have to read your threads closely, sometimes you stick bold type in there

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

yeah, they don't make an Army Blackhawk ceiling fan.... Hey, they marines flew Corsairs too! :lol:

Of course I do have camo paint!

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Not with that paint job, they didn't:lol:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

all I know is from the Blacksheep Squadron show...

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Got to play w/ the jimmy alittle...71 Rat out of NJ posted up a great thread on the PU side. Shows ya how to mount a J@@p electric fan in our factory shroud for under 50 bucks. Soooo, with that in mind I started to trim off 2" to get some extra clearance....
At the risk of being called a showoff, I will post pics LOL

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...replace540.jpg

Also got some time to play with Jon's new wood bed kit, he even bought the polished hardware kit(looks like chrome) If you plane a radius on the bottom side ends, it fits alot tighter to the last crossmember and bulkhead.
Second time I typed this, a freak lightning storm blew thru and I lost power

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Looks great too!

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

any chance the vendor would match up the color of the boards, before I go drilling holes in them???

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Jim- I have to go look at stains....I was going to take these towards light cherry anyway.....may wind up not mattering. The wood and cross sills are from Mar-K and I'm pretty impressed with everything I've gotten from them.

I'll grab a couple colors and spot test them on the underside of one darker and one lighter board and see what we get.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Yeah, I was very impressed with quality of the wood bed kit!!! Dun two so far...
While your there, see if you can find the tubes of tint, couple 3 oz. size. Then you can make it any color you want, to match from dark to light. Once you get your recipe, write it down, so you don't forget the recipe:lol: Don't ask me how I know. Then it doesn't matter what color wood they send ya

How was Carlisle, any treasures? Post up some pics, these guys will flame ya w/o pics:lol:

Is the bed still standing? I've got to drille the holes for the bedsides, crossmembers only thing holding it. Speaking of that, please get me the part number for the short cross pcs. between the wheelhouses, I want to order two. You should too, it will spread the load out better than those 1 1/4" fender washers, even doubled up they still mushroom

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...replace538.jpg

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

They make reinforcing strips that you can put under the floor as well. I think the SWB had one of them originally. MY PO added a steel plate between the wheel wells and welded into the frame for more support.

Looks nice, im not sure how I want to do my bed. I have NOS black stained wood and a plain steel bolt kit but no metal strips right now.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

That's what I have in mine, plain SS, but Jon is a showoff with polished...I think yours fits the W/T theme, I'd go with painted steel, JMHO to an airjockeyLOL

How was Carlisle?

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Carlisle was very slow, I started a thread in the Event Coverage section....

Had a great time though and met a ton of guys. Got my parts ready now too...

What happened to your shroud? I just sold on the CPNE for $20....

as far as the truck, i'm starting to get fancier too... Just got NOS tailgate moldings and SS west coast JR mirrors, I was thinking about rhinolined strips. Someone on here did that but I never saw them installed..

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

That sounds cool for the bed rails, or powdercoat. Got any pics of the wood, I might stain mine black as my roof leaked on it again

That fan shroud was for mock up only, if it works I'll source out a better one. Just my luck a day late. Where are you getting all these parts from??

Sorry I missed Carlisle, but life got in the way

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I picked up a nice shroud from a board member and mine had a small cack in it. I epoxied it and tried to sell at Carlisle....

lots of "tire kickers" this year. Not many wanted to part with their money.

I'm sure with you're busy with a new job and all...

I can try getting you a pic of my wood (that didn't sound good, good thing you're not Navy:lol:)

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

:lol:Did ya get the pine or oak, I got 2 bigs stains in the wood and I think black will cover them

I had to let the family go on vacation without me, no accrued time yet. But I was able to save my Oct. fishing trip, I'll be off probation by then

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Jim,

Looks like Mar-K's part numbers for the reinforcement strips are 110438 (1pc. 72") and 110431 (2pcs. 50").

Let me know if you want them also- I'll order them in

"Good thing you're not Navy?" The Navy guy didn't offer pictures of wood.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

that's who I bought my reinforcement strip from. I have an extra but it's bent like a banana (overzealous UPS loader).

Someone told me that the original wood was pine or yellow pine.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

:lol::lol::lol:

Yeah Jon, go ahead and order the 2 pcs at 50"( that's not wood, right?) I'll see ya next week

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Yeah, I heard it was yellow pine

Dang it, I shoulda used multi-quote

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

ok....I'll grab you 2 50"

I've gone ahead and taken some wood snapshots for you

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Did you get your memory card back? Post them up

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

no....signs are supposed to be done today so hopefully later today

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Did ya get any extras to hang on the pickup doors?

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Sorry I've been away a while, you've been busy while I was trying to work your 4 hour schedule. Didn't quite get it done! :waah:

Trucks looking good! I like that wood bed. What did you mean about the cutting the radius at the ends to make it fit better?

OH, and pipe down with that swabbie bashing. Thats profiling you know!

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I think I bought the longer pieces for in front of the wheel well... are you placing one between the wheel wells then?

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

two between the wheelhouses and one just forward of them

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

:haha:
Number8 works for me, never thought about, but ya did have the best coffee (to this day) and food. Hauled enuff of it to the food locker. I was on the Guadalcanal, thought it was huge till one of our Aircraft carriers passed us at sea. Why do ya suppose they have a detachment of Marines standing on the front of your ships? LOL....

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

To make sure the coffee makes it through

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thats some funny stuff right there. Tri-pro, were you stationed there at Lakehurst? I had to go out there one time for a school.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

No- all my schools were in San Diego (Sonar Technician) but I always sailed out of Norfolk. I was on the USS John King (DDG-3) and the USS Dahlgren (DDG-43 which was formally CLG-12) and then 4 years on recruiting duty out of NRD Boston. We only came up here to Jersey to offload weapons prior to going to the shipyard for refit.
