FedEx did a followup and the house they dropped my package off at claims they received nothing..... They delivered it to my address space "L"... well that's because Eastwood forgot to add L"ot #50" makes a big difference when there is an actual space L in my mobile home park

..... Also makes me pissed because people are so dishonest these days, bet you anything that person in space L is trying to figure out how much they can make off my order they accidentally received

Up to Eastwood now to make things right, I have heard good things about them and it stinks but they really need to suck this one up, they left 6 characters off the shipping label which caused the whole shipping mix up.....

More progress to come once I get the stuff I need, sucks waiting!

Awesome Eastwood is re-shipping the package and will file with FedEx, looks like 4-8 business days for my stuff

Is it strange that im excited that your package is on the way?

Hey at least Eastoowd did the right thing. Besides with last weekend being mother's day it's probably best my parts didn't show up, might have put me in the dog house

aren't you just a "glass is half full" kinda guy!

Pulled apart the Dash Cluster today, Just used some Rustoleum Professional Enamel + Primer on it but It looks way better!

Before:

After:

Still waiting for my epoxy primer before I start the cab repairs

ozzyman · 05-27-2012, 11:03 PM

Went ahead and removed the tank supports in the cab

Plan is to remove these and weld them to the floor since the supports are no longer in place, any other ideas?

Due to my limited work space I have resorted to storing everything in the bed

Will be working on the floor/front door pillar/drivers kick panel repair tomorrow!

Had an exciting weekend took my son to his first baseball game:

His favorite part was the lizard mascott running around, He had to point him out everytime he saw him lol

Got the rust cut out and started cutting and fitting patch panels. So Far the only issue is the floor board doesnt seem to match the angle of the upper floor/firewall seam.

Going to spray some rust converter on some exposed parts then coat with eastwood's rust encapsulator before welding in the new peices.

Incase anyone was following, been deployed since June, Hope to get started back on the project come November!

CRGRS 66 · 08-15-2012, 07:20 PM

A salute from the north

Thanks for being there for us too!

Apathybot · 08-16-2012, 06:47 AM

Be careful out there, this website and a long deployment are a bad idea.

Four months in Afghanistan and I have WAY too many ideas for my 64 now

Get home safe to those kiddos and get krackin on that 66!

Thanks!

Put together my B-day/Christmass wish list:
Paint guns
DA sander
7 peice Dyna Block kit
oil/air desiccant filter
Respirator
and a new wiring kit to fix my eletrical fire from 10 years ago, Yes headers get hot, they melt wires, wires ground to headers and systems will ignite

Need to get home I'm coming up with way too many ideas out here lol

MrBeast · 08-29-2012, 02:22 AM

russellmalcolm · 09-01-2012, 09:50 AM
