Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Daughters boyfriend came over with a problem. His security lug nuts were stuck and he had broken the “key” tool in one of them. His tires are super bad and getting new ones tomorrow but no tire shop wants to tackle getting the security lugs off.
Welded nuts to the end of each of them and spun them off. One other lug nut was messed up by another tire shop so I drove a deep well impact socket on that one and spun it off. He had a new set of all lug nuts so we installed those before he left. |

I once bought a rear end from a junkyard and the rims had security lug nuts on them. The guy grabbed a torch and I had to stop him. I don't want it if you're going to melt the damn thing. Just leave the rims on dude.

Spent a good bit of the afternoon working on the quarter panel and fender flare on my dad's 66. Also drove it around for the first time in about 8 months.

Got this ole 6-71 Detroit running today. Had to run the exhaust valves, and set the injector heights but she purred right along afterward. Been sitting 5+ years.

Got the cart working had to redo the casters just needed to beef up the bolts . You can see why I used 10 inch pneumatic casters not the greatest surface to work with but it’s a 150+ year old barn

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I polished the hubcaps on my Packard. They weren't too bad for 71 years old. The one on the car is before and the other is after. And then I hit the paint with some Linseed oil just for giggles. I was shocked. THE CAR IS BLACK! :eek: I would have never guessed. I would have done more but I have to scrub some surface rust with CLR first. I think that the old girl is going to clean up nicely. I still have a lot of polishing to do and lose the dried up masking tape on the trim. But so far so good. The bumpers are next. Make her pretty again. :)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yesterday I decided to replace a broken firebrick in our wood stove. Took time to let it cool first, then cleaned out the ashes. Might as well clean the cap & brush the flue next. The broken brick was against the back of the stove, and held in place by the bricks on the floor.... which are held in place by the bricks on the side.... one of which was broken. It's all good now and we had a nice warm fire last night. Just took a bit longer than I had anticipated.

Welded up some thrust washers to the legs of the steel lawn chairs. Got tired of one or two legs sinking Into the lawn.
