Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks for the encouragement J, i just keep thinking about the days, weeks, months you spent sanding your truck, only to sweep it up off the shop floor and reapply
Got the bilsteins today, one on, no pics since my battery is dead, soooo you ll just have to take my word for it today. I don t need 20 posts saying this thread is worthless, without pics.LOL

Re: PO has me PO'd
Lots of good progress and hitting a wall always is rough.
Quick question regarding your hubs. The round retainer with the holes did you line up the hole with the nub on the first locking nut? |

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks.....and yes the slot in the hub has to line up, but you can flip ring 180 to get it to line up better on a tang, so you don t change your torque setting, ok did nt answer question let me think about, my head hurts. Just spent 5 hours on the phone with microsofts head geek

Re: PO has me PO'd
OK, all the surgeries are done, vascular system was a bit of a problem, had to insert needle, then push a wire through needle to unblock it. Three stints later, and procedure is done. Seems I ve ignored it to long, the price I paid for being a Dad, ya still have to work come Monday morn, no matter what ails ya
100% blockage on right leg, 70% blockage on left leg Now that I m all fixed up, I can get back to my build.... emergency brake cables first up

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks, enjoying your build, very entertaining. Just ordered two new drums from Rock Auto, we ll see how the quality is(raybestis). Now to find some quality high temp. Paint and figure out color. Not sure if color should standout or blend in thru the slots of my wheels... opinions? I ll let the masses rule

Re: PO has me PO'd
Jim,
Its just a random pic I found but it may very well be it, her , him, whatever in a few years. One never knows. I will be curious to see how the white turns out since I have the slots saved for the panel truck. I just figured since the inside edges of the holes on the slots were black (at least on mine) it would be the right way to go( for me anyway) but always open to different ideas. I guess I have seen to many of the rice burners lately with the brite colors showing through the wheels. Richard

Re: PO has me PO'd
So glad to hear you're up and running again Jim, both you and the project
I'm looking forward to the progress, and curious to see how the off white on the drums turns out. |
