Re: What did you get done April Fools 4/1/12 edition
picked up a pair of these bad boys from a local jeep shop.
![]() they only stocked em for 2.5" axle tubes so ground them down for my 3.5 tubes and drilled a new hole to relocate the axle back .5" then welded them up. Cut a coil off the front and here it is.. just need to get some spindles... so far a 2.5/7 drop for $20 ![]() ![]() Some new addition to the paint thanks to my room mate.. he says "its lots of rat but not so much rod." ![]() oh and ordered my grill.

Re: What did you get done April Fools 4/1/12 edition
Took a trip to the Urgent Care after cutting the flange off of a set of dually hubs with a gringer. I was preping them to get turned down into single wheel hubs and ended up with a piece of metal in my eye.

Re: What did you get done April Fools 4/1/12 edition
Took the Heap for a little 600 mile cruise, nice trip, felt good to get out on the interstate. Of course my wallet wasn't impressed with the fuel cost. LOL.

Good the doc pulled the shaving out and gave me eye drops. What Sucks is I put safety glasses on and the shaving went above them.

Re: What did you get done April Fools 4/1/12 edition
Well Friday Installed the new bench and drove over to my moms Saturday but when my friend arrived he laughed and asked if it ran. So I started it up only to notice it bogging down. Open the hood only to notice the inline fuel filter leaking gas. Come to find out the new filter was plastic (Should of listened to bob and bought a metal one) so luckily i replaced it with the old glass part....
Saturday I got my brothers helped and removed the doors, replaced the pins, bushing, and one of the hinges. Installed the missing driver side rear channel, welded the bolt location that was partially cracked, installed a new steering wheel, and all new window weather stripping. Im happy to say now with a smaller steering wheel, a bench that goes all the way back, and a driver side window that rolls up, I can drive comfortably

Re: What did you get done April Fools 4/1/12 edition
That's' happened to me twice, I now carry one of those extending style magnets in my pocket (when cutting/grinding metal). The magnet has cleaned out my eye a couple times. Probably should wear a shield with my glasses.

I was grinding all the casting flanges off my 350 block before i sent it out for machining and thought it wuld be a good idea to wear them for once. LOL, damn piece got in anyways. My luck. Glad to hear the Doc got it out. As for what i got done this weekend, new Grill and Headlight Bezels installed and went to the parts house to puck up all the stuff to totally redo the front end next weekend.
