Project TN 20

Wow that is nasty looking! The overall truck looks very nice. I like your plan for bringing it along without getting over your head. I've been through project hell a few times and it's a great learning experience - of how not to do it in the future. Looking forward to the progress updates.

Boy seemed to enjoy the greasy part, don't tell his mom.



No Leaks overnight. I used 220 grit to clean the surfaces, and a blue Felpro gasket. Put the oil in with a small hand pump (and the neighbors 12 year old).

It ain't pretty, but it should be functional til the day it all gets stripped and painted.

Thanks. I think I'm going to start a scoring system since I function better with competition, even if it's in my own head. Seeing that this going to be a 9 month truck for now (no A/C), all work that takes it off rolling status will happen June/July/August. So perhaps I need the DNR index (days not rolling). For every day Sep-May she's not able to roll the index goes up 1.

DNR = 0
Days left to get rolling (DLGR) = 60

I had heard but could not find official confirmation on the net that if you have a plate that matches the year and state of your vehicle you can us it as your official plate. So I found a cool one on Ebay, and went in to the county clerk to try it out. Since it is a farm plate she had to make a call, but much to my happiness, here it is
