Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Small update today… after working with electrician friend to get some lights on the studio sign, then checking out furnace on RV and insulating water line… I stole away to the shed and started to re-arrange parts and pieces in order to move forward on the truck…

Truck Time...:bann:

All I really accomplished was moving door innards from damaged driver's door to the new to me door… small update, but update nonetheless...:mm:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Truck time!! Even the small things have to be done. :metal::metal:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

I tell you what Don, when Martin snagged that replacement door for £100/$160 in March, I wanted it as well, but moving all the glass, hardware etc scares me so much that I was kinda glad he got it, forcing me to repair my creased passenger door.

You see it as small progress, I see a job without which you cannot progress.

Last night Nicola made us roast chicken, potatoes and roast vegetables, followed by red berry fruits, crushed meringue nests, a dash of ice cream with whipped cream on top and coffee later, as the builder is coming in today to repair the ceiling, replaster the walls which are textured etc from the water damage we had in September.... So we will not have a kitchen for a while as he fits us into his regular job, but it saves a lot of money.

Progress is progress.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

prepping the place for winter is a good thing and stealing a little truck time is a better thing.

we had a bad thing happen yesterday. went out to a buds place to drag back a 63 1 ton when the motor in the dually went south. big knocking sound. will get towed back today and investigate trouble... but i'm really bummed. oh well, if i have to replace the motor it will be a good time to put the 5-speed in that i got from kieth years ago.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Thats a real bummer !!!

Breakdowns are always worse when you are "busy working"

Like you say, at least a reason to address other upgrades.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Stealing a little truck time…:metal:
Clem, that;s a buzzkill for sure for the dually, at least in the present, but I'm digging' the 5 speed upgrade...:mm:

Thanks for the encouragement guys, Progress is progress!:uhmk:

Prepping for winter this weekend is a Must Do as the high to day is forecast to be 22 C and the the average high for the next 9 days is just under 8 C...:waah:

that equates to 72F today and an avg of 47F for the next 9 days…which is about 20 below our avg for this time of year… :thud: Enough moaning and groaning…

Plans are to get the cab tucked away for hand sanding and get started on Frame Swap...:metal::metal::metal:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Making progress brotha! That's what counts. :metal: Highs here have been in the mid 50's and lows in the 30's for almost a month now. Ah well...Bond fire time! lol :chevy:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

WOW! Didn't know you guys spoke celcius (some say centigrade):lol:, it is a balmy 50F and sunny here in the land of hockey sticks and maple syrup:smoke: :canada:

I enjoy every moment I get with my "other woman", glad to see you get some time.

Clem, sh#tty, sorry to hear about the engine.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

C'mon Blackhawks!!! :metal:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

C'mon man.... gotta back your Arizona Cyotes too... right?

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Allow me to clarify Craigerr, I currently live in Arkansas, not Arizona, for some reason even folks in the states equate AR for Arizona...:thud: I've had supply companies I've done biz with for years ask me where in Arizona Searcy is...:lol:

I was born and raised in the Chicago area, thus my affinity for the Blackhawks, and yes, Da Bears and the Cubbies, although this is a tough year to be a Bears fan...:banghead:

As for the Celsius references, I communicate with Grizz and Martin in the UK and have adopted the Celsius mindset at times. ;)

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Well aren't I just the perfect fool:crazy:

My step son and daughter have abandoned my Leafs, and have taken up with your beloved Blackhawks, can't say I blame them, beauty team, and I am getting a l'il sick of perpetual mediocrity myself, but I yam what I yiz!

We have been speaking celcius up here so long, that Fahrenheit is almost Greek to me!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Had a great Birthday… got a Porterbuilt Tshirt and worked more on some honey-do's so I can focus on truck time… :metal:
Just thought this was the coolest tshirt idea I've seen in a while...

Was unusual to get a light dusting of snow so early in the year, but remember… Global warming, climate change, whatever...:lol:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Happy belated birthday Don. Very cool t-shirt as well. i just added it to the Christmas list.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
