Alan, by looking at your pictures I have figured out two things for you.

1-I know why your door won't line up.
2-I know where your missing rubber mallet is.

See attached picture.

Really nice work Alan, Thanks for sharing your secrets.

TimE · 05-29-2009, 07:29 AM

Nice work Alan!

jgh64pkup · 05-29-2009, 12:33 PM

1964C10 · 05-29-2009, 01:00 PM

Happy birthday to me, Happy birthday to me, Happy Crapday dear Alan Happy Crap day too me........

I had all intentions of getting some crap done today, but the crap got me instead.

I was on here this morning waiting for the wife to get out of the shower and I heard the down stairs toilet bubbling............What the heck (I new what it was, but didn't want to admit it on my day.) I grew up on a septic tank and never had it pumped. This new one lasted 8 years. I found out these new divided tanks need to be pumped every 3-5 years. It was packed full on the inlet side. The guy said you could probably walk on it. Nah that's alright.

Normally they charge $350 but add $100 for a sunday call. He worked at it for 2-3 hours and did a fantastic job.

That's gonna set back my parts buying even more.

I removed all the rock I just put down cause I knew they wouldn't take their time with it. The tank had 2 about 18"x18" concrete plugs for access. It has been years since I had seen a septic tank. The last one I saw had 3 sections that made up a lid. And the new one even had a filter on the exit end. I couldn't believe it.

The man at work

All finished

joe231 · 05-31-2009, 06:14 PM

Happy B-Day to you......

Talk about a S***y party!!!

greg65 · 05-31-2009, 07:19 PM

I basically just pushed the seal on, no tension, when I got to the end I had about 6” inches left that I cut off. I let it sit for about a week also thinking the compression of the door would fix it. It didn't. I finally pulled the seal off and then put it back on with a little tension. When I got it glued back in place I had another 4-6” of slack.

I think it's got to be put on somewhat tight, just not sure how tight.

I know that's not a lot of info but hope it helps.

Great progress!!

Don

Thanks Don, I adjusted on my Rt door some and got it closing better. I think it will be fine. Just have too do the Lt door when I get motivated again. I had alot of motivation this morning.

I just had the Metzler rear tire on my bike grow a bubble the size of a hand ball. It happened in Palm Springs, and had to have the bike towed home. There goes some of my parts money too.

Thanks Dennis, that sucks about your tire.

Thanks Greg for buying the inner fenders, and no I wasn't kidding that I would put you to work. LOL Super Chevy is next weekend in Commerce GA. I was hoping to make it up there with a little cash. Hopefully 198plus will buy the bed tomorrow.

Thanks guys for the birthday wishes and comments. I wasn't even going to mention anything about my BD, but couldn't help myself after all of this excitement.

Hehe its all icing on the cake man

neto · 05-31-2009, 10:51 PM

Happy B-day Alan. Hey on the door seal my friend at the body shop said that he will put the seal on first, adjust the doors to fit then removes it and paints. That way when he puts it back on there's no problems with the doors closing.

aggie91 · 06-01-2009, 10:59 AM

I know I am a day late (and usually a dollar short) BUT:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Alan.

Sorry to here about your "extra" work to do on your birthday. Mabe something good will happen this week to make up for it.

MacAttack · 06-01-2009, 11:15 AM

All the best My Friend!

TimE · 06-01-2009, 11:21 AM

Happy Belated Birthday Alan!!

jonzcustomshop · 06-03-2009, 04:47 AM

kind of an odd time in the thread to ask about this,since you are already to paint..
but what kind of grinder(s)/discs do you use for grinding your welds?

Good question...I go through a lot of those!! I would like to know too.

Alan, the extra work was probably a birthday present from a higher authority. I like to use that term. Got to use it once at work. I had a persimmon tree blow down on our campus during a storm. It was the only one we had. I got a nasty letter some time later from a Biology professor demanding to know why we removed it while he was off for the summer, and that he used it in his classroom teachings. I proudly told him it was removed by a higher authority!

Strodder · 06-03-2009, 10:22 AM

I get my grinding disc's and cut off wheels from here. They have great prices, and a better product than Harbor Freight. Check them out.
