What did you do with your truck today, Part 3 - Page 163 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I gave the truck a much needed bath and hit the Coon Rapids cruise night. When I checked my phone later, 3 different friends had texted pictures of the '58 rollin' by...

Yeah, pretty much, my left had is the one I jab with, and my left kidney punch. My right hand is the one I pick the strings on my guitar with.

Why do you ask?

MARTINSR · 06-14-2020, 01:52 PM

Ohhhhhhh, I got you. LOLOL I put those signs up in my garage back when I was a Cub Scout Den leader and would have meetings in the garage teaching them how to change a flat tire on a car and stuff like that. Damn I had a good time doing that. Our Den had the fastest pinewood cars that's for sure!

And I made sure their dad's didn't build the cars for them. We got together and taught those kids about the fundamentals of speed and they made their own cars. Great times for sure!

Brian, if you can modify your compressor air intake to be from outside or garage attic it will lessen the noise in the shop.

My thing is I don't want it noisy for the neighbor either!

I thought it might be a reminder on how open that door knob.

Easy fix for compressor noise for the neighbor is just to turn up the music or leave your lawnmower running in a different neighbors yard Haha

Yeah, my neighborhood is SOOOOO nice without anyone doing stupid crap, I don't want to be "that guy." But I do have one with a barking dog ALL THE TIME. Just what do they think this does? I mean if there was an alarm going all the time that would be the house to break into because no one is going to do anything about it!

Being a good neighbor is very important for peace of mind. Some folks are just back door orifices. We had a renter in a house next door with 4-5 dogs constant barking. Was head cop of our small town and is somewhat intimidating and abuses his position. After 10 hours of barking i Called the COUNTY sheriff (who can't stand him) and the barking not only ended but he moved out.

I have such an amazing neighborhood, I want it to stay that way (outside of the barking dog I hear at this very minute.)

I understand dog owner can be cited but it takes multiple complaints. If dog is unlicensed some areas may take the dog and owner gets bill for vet exam, shots and all other expenses. This, on top of the initial citation. Sounds silly but cash strapped areas are getting tough on pet owners who will pay. Dog barking calls now looked at as easy cash for cops.

vintovka · 06-14-2020, 08:28 PM

earmuffs when its running

mick53 · 06-16-2020, 01:38 PM

I try to keep noisy things during regular hours. My Basset hounds bark when needed but since I used to raise them I have populated the neighborhood with them and just say it's the other guys hounds. It more of a group bark anyway.

Janky59 · 06-21-2020, 10:11 AM

I installed a new carburetor, a Weber clone from Langdon’s Stovebolt 6. What an improvement! Clearly the last 2 carbs I tried needed rebuilds. It’s been the best $300 I’ve ever spent on it, the drivability is much, much better. Sorry for the sideways image.

MiraclePieCo · 06-21-2020, 04:35 PM

I took my panel truck out for a drive to blow the cobwebs off. Every time I drive it I am SO impressed with how smooth it runs and how well it handles. The Mustang II R&P has zero free-play so the steering feels like a go-kart.

Sorry, no pics. Next time I'll have my wife video from the passenger seat...

bowt1ed · 06-21-2020, 05:11 PM

For the first time in a long time (maybe a Father's Day miracle) I got to work on my truck this weekend. Started making stainless steel lines for rear Wilwoods. Gotta keep this press on to get the build done! Cheers!

MARTINSR · 07-03-2020, 10:32 AM

Damn I can't wait to get back to my truck, I am close!

Brian

**idbeast** · 06-21-2020, 08:34 PM

I spent the weekend working on front bumper mounts, then trying to decide emblems or not, what do you think?

DransportGarage · 06-21-2020, 09:14 PM

I vote no emblems. What a clean presentation!
