Re: What did you accomplish this weekend, ending 9-9-07?

I painted the rear control arms and front lower control arms with POR 15 (and chasis black) and then practiced shaving the drip rail on my extra cab. Ran out of .024 mig wire, so I tried .035 and it didn't work as well.

Then I went salmon fishing and boating

Then today I worked on the yard, test drove a 2005 1/2 ton crew cab pickup (should get it tomorrow ) and now I'm cooking my salmon.

Re: What did you accomplish this weekend, ending 9-9-07?

Saturday went to the best truck show in the area, and had a blast!

Sunday mowed the already dead lawn, and did a few home improvements.

I put 4" drop springs, shock relocater kit, and adjustaber panard bar in the Wife's 63'. I'll do the front spindles and disc brake upgrade next weekend. I'll post some pix as soon as my kid's show me how.

Re: What did you accomplish this weekend, ending 9-9-07?

I finally got my 72 project started. I had swapped in a motor I had built for my chevelle, and am in the final stages of assembly. I had intended to pull the vacuum brake booster for my 67, but I managed to puncture a brake line on the 67, and just gave up on that project for now.
I got the 72 grill cleaned and re-installed. I also started cleaning out the cab. by far the most excitement was firing up the engine with open headers. I'm sure my neighbors were just as thrilled.

Re: What did you accomplish this weekend, ending 9-9-07?

Didn't work on the truck at all, but I found something in my shop that I haven't seen in many months......... my floor! Got my little shed cleaned out, and moved some parts that were just taking up space in the shop out to the shed. Now I can get the chassis out and move it to the little shop and really get rocking on getting the cab and bed set up to prime.

Still cleaning the shed.....

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=256677

My goal is to insulate the walls and put up the 7/16 OSB that I've had for two or three months so I can heat it this winter. First I have to be able to get to the walls!!!..

replaced rings,valve seals, and finally got my old girl together and running!
Had to use my 69 for a parts run, otherwise it gets jealous and breaks down.
