:lol:You're welcome, and thanks for watching! Jon's a funny guy, and thanks for having a sense of humor

I'm off to my Mothers 90th birthday, so I don't have much time, don't think she would understand my delay...

I'll try to post up in the next couple days, old and new problems arose, but progress continues

Gotta love having the edit button back

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

:lol:dayum, I knew I would get one of them sooner or later

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Here's some pics. of what I'm into...

Alum. fuel line. Found out that -6 and -8 AN sizes are uni-flare, meaning a 45° flare tool will work. After seeing what happened to AJ's engine, I left a piece of rubber fuel line after the fuel filter that can be clamped off to run the engine out of fuel and work on the carb. Still waiting on the last of the fittings after the fuel filter, it is a 150° bend so the rubber hose doesn't hit the cross member

After alot of help, including diagrams, from the electrical guys( thanks VetteVet) I decided to send the harnesses back to M&H for the mods. Still under warranty, should be back in a couple weeks. Got the mechanical side of the water pump plumbed, so that is a plus

Interior is still pending, samples arrived, exactly as original. But they included a green color, and that threw a monkey wrench in the works:lol:

Clocked my alternator, another problem, since the armature came outta the brushes. Realized there is a hole thru the brush holder and rear half of housing to insert a rod to retain the brushes and allow you to reassemble the armature. DO NOT separate the field windings and rear half of the alternator, bad things will happen! You only have to pivot the front half to get the wire locations correct

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Looking good Jim!

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thanks Doug, bad news today, M&H said 6 - 8 weeks to modify my harness! So, I'll be on the sidelines watching all the other builds, but there are alot of interesting builds to watch...These guys on this forum have the best trucks anywhere

How's things down your way, PM me.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

sounds like you need to come hang out with us at Carlisle truck show then!

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Oh man, I should bring all my years of parts gathering parts down there, sure would like to sell em off.

It's all good stuff but it's only good stuff to us poor folk lookin' for it...;)

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

only $75 for a 10x30 spot with passes to get in and out with your driver. I might bring the RV up there for a little party..

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Minor hi-jack Jim but it's my turn anyway...;)

So Mike, when is it?

I really do have a lot of stuff I could bring down, my trailer would be full. :lol:

You offering me a bunk in the RV?

7-9 Aug

www.carsatcarlisle.com Special-K (Tim Hicks) has three spots near the truck shop (california) and usually has a cot in his area. IF I bring the RV then you are more than welcome to crash. I will probably only be there on Friday and Sat (fri night) since I live 45 minutes away and sunday is kinda dead.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Glad to see somebody got some benefit out of my little fire. :devil:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I'll see what I can do for Saturday

:lol:, you're probably still aleast 5 up. BTW, good luck with the surgery
Yeah, sorry that it worked out that way, but it got me to thinking how can I prevent this from happening again

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

How about using electric shears, anything without sparks:lol:

You know my house is always open to you...candle burning in the window for guests. I get done work at 00:00 friday nite/saturday morning. I'd be honored to pull your fat arse around in a wagon at Carlisle

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

:haha: If it looks like I can have the blazer completed in time, I'm all for it.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Man...you beat me to it. :lol:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Couldn't stand it any longer! Had to mount up my new fenders...couple shims here and there, also have to file lower fender mount hole, but not a bad fit for OEM to Repop. Nice work Tri-Pro!!! Gotta wait on mounting the grille and core support, need access to engine compartment

Re: PO has me PO'd

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

36°

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Perfect temp for beer...?

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I couldn't agree more. ;)

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Well, yes and no...yes it is a good temperature for beer, but no, it had nothing to do with my post!

I got tired of writing out the 'degree', and my son told me that my computer has something called a character map...so I went lookin'. I found it down in the systems, never bin there before. OK, now I have to find out how to use it! Hence, my post.:lol: To find out if I really know how to use it, I had to put it on paper. There is the proof three posts up, and with the use of the 'edit' button I corrected my post several posts up beyond that...

So as not to turn this into another useless post here are some pics for you pic. whores out there! All fittings are now aluminum, no corrosive reaction between dissimilar metal. Also, pic of the new timing pointer, waiting on balancer, last of the safety upgrades

Last pic is of the 150° -AN6 female push on barb fitting to 3/8" hose

At the risk of being called a showoff, here they are

Re: PO has me PO'd

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Looking really good Jim.

Re: PO has me PO'd

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

nice work, subscribed. i am installing my floor now and having a little trouble with the front 2 flanges of the floor and firewall mate up nice. the floor is higher than the firewall. i have read were you cut 3/16 of yours but mine doesnt look to need cut.

i guess i need to get a bigger hammer!!!

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Got pics?,I think I know the area you're referring to. Should I go to your build? Are your doors matching up nice. That's my indicater...maybe take out the rubber mounts temporarily to get it welded up

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Happy Birthday to me, happy birthday to me...you know the rest

:ennyd::ennyd::five::alky:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

"you look like a monkey and smell like one too!!!"

sorry, just singing along :)

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thank you...how's the quad

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

a blast, except that mikey took a header on his second ride the next morning. Funny how a yellow slide can stop a suzuki and send a three year old flying over the handle bars!

They had it out again today, I got a killer deal, probably half price or better. Here are some pics...

Well Happy Birthday young man!!!

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

i had taken some pics to send to you but you cant see the difference in between. further investigation i found 1 spot that will need to be cut down. it is keeping the driverside up, i probably never would have found it, if you did not mention looking! passanger side i will just need some muscle to get it whipped into shape! thanks again

Re: PO has me PO'd
