Pulled the hood off the truck and drained the radiator. Getting ready to pull the engine and trans this week if all goes well. Still nursing a sore back from shoveling all the freakin ice this last week, hopefully that gets better quick so I can dive into the engine project.
Old Rusty C-10- Sorry to hear about your father. Having been through that myself I know how hard that is no matter what the circumstance.

Spent Saturday in the garage getting the S-10 frame that's going under my '50 prepped for surgery. Today I cut the frame in half and stretched it 10". The 10" section was filled with steel from the 50's original frame.

Of course I ran out of argon halfway through the frame welding. Ever notice how argon tanks manage to empty themselves on weekends?:lol:

Well I did the same thing as I did last weekend. Media blasting my front suspesion parts. After gettin them all nice clean bare metal, I painted all the pieces with a fresh coat of paint. Came out looking just like GM did it. Yeah paint runs all over.:lol:

Took the wife up to Calavaras big trees and then had lunch in Arnold Ca. The wife enjoyed the day away.

Hang on Green Bay

Sorry to hear about your dad Bob...You need to talk buddy, you have my number...we're still dealing with all of the stuff from Laura's mom passing...once again sorry for your loss

Re: What did you get done 2/6/11 Superbowl edition thread
 

I finally had some down time and I worked on some interior jobs finally that have been put off because of my mother in laws passing and me and my family having to deal with that...

We also went and test drove a ton of cars for my wife...I'm pretty sure she's settled on a 2011 Audi A3...it's pretty kickass...has the TDI turbo diesel engine and the sport suspension...wouldn't think that diesel and sport would be in the same sentence, but it's pretty snappy...and the best thing of all, it has paddle shifters on the steering wheel...I'm gonna enjoy driving it...:D

and I fell in love with a 2006 Chevy Crewcab 2500HD Duramax...it's really nice...has an Edge Race tuner on it, 5" exhaust, intake...it's pretty stout...it also has 9" of lift and 35" tires...the tires are pretty worn, so I'll be swapping them out for some 37s or 38s soon after I get it...as long as he doesn't sell it before I can get up there next week to get it...;)

Picked up a pair of 6.2 diesels, including a desireable red block. Watched 3 hours of competitive cheerleading (we came in 2nd in our division, would have come in 5th overall). Replaced the mirror my wife wiped off the van. Lubed her windows so they work (hint - silicone spray the heck out of the slides). Watched the game.
