Re: Rods 57
The drain should help. I have one on mine like that and it makes it easy to get the water out of the tank.
Nice wheel. Kim |

Re: Rods 57
Tool time. I loaned out my hoist once, and when it came back it had no handle. I used an old jack handle and a solid rod, a drill press and some black paint. and now in addition to never loaning out my hoist i have a new handle.

Re: Rods 57
Thanks Kim.
Got the first sanding out on my 210 wheel and it came out really good. I am loving the epoxy putty. |

Re: Rods 57

Re: Rods 57
You need an MRI to really see what's wrong.
Hope it all works out. Kim |

Re: Rods 57
Kim's right. I had worsening issues with my back about 20 years ago and the x-Rays showed nothing. Once the Navy docs got me in for an MRI, it was obvious - one herniated and another bulging disc. Had the surgery and have had no issues since (other than normal aging). Bottom line is x-Rays only show so much, where the MRI shows it all.

Re: Rods 57
Thanks, my back is OK. Four discs,two herniated and a fracture. I have long road ahead to keep it from hurting but what can you do.
truck is getting close, I am going to start painting the firewall as soon as I can and then $%#t gets real.... I also built a nice cart for my camper to roll around on. I got these heavy duty wheels at a swap meet for cheap and had some scrap sitting around. al told I have less than 120 in the whole thing. rolls nice. |

Re: Rods 57
So its been a long time but its finally warming up here in ID. I made a major step forward today and got some paint on the truck...
the light makes it look way lighter than it is, its the same as the frame. In the one picture you can see me giving the thumbs up..feels pretty good. |

Re: Rods 57
Thanks Kim, little at a time. Don't want to rush these things, like a fine wine.

Re: Rods 57
Looks like a good solution to the big window dilemma on the 3 point belt.

Re: Rods 57
Thanks everyone, i almost see the light at the end of the tunnel. got the SS brake-lines ran and the cowl vent sealed up. Got the cowl piece on-line but as you all know they never fit. this one was not to bad had to reshape the ends but pretty good.

Re: Rods 57
It was a really cool weekend here at my place. First I got to drive a Ferrari F430 around an autocross course. That was really cool.
