Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I have a '67 Camaro too, that I have been restoring for a "while" now. I replaced the entire trunk floor a couple years ago and now that I am close to finishing the exterior repairs and getting ready for paint, I need to finish up the under side. I was laying on a creeper under it last weekend, trying to clean and grind welds and I was wet and dirty enough to give in and dig out the rotisserie to spin it on it's side for this work. I removed the entire drive train intact on the subframe. I had rebuilt/restored all of that several years ago and it needs nothing but a good clean from all the bodywork that has taken place. Was trying to avoid getting in this deep, but I guess I'm "all in" now...

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I went to the gym this morning and walked on the treadmill for an hour, then I stopped at the store and got a couple doughnuts and a qt of milk. Polished it off before I got back to the house.

I propped my post & beam barn up on temporary posts & beams inside, cut the posts of the barn off, poured stem walls 32'' offset from where the barn stood, and moved it over onto the new stem wall. That had a second floor with oak flooring. That took some forethought and planning, but it went very smoothly, without a hitch. I like a challenge

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Spent a couple days with the boss doing some hiking ar Petit Jean park in Arkansas. Enjoy yhe quietness and for me the.hills like i grew up with in eastern pa. Not the flatness of the gulf coast. Used the Tacoma to see how it goes for long distance rides. Its ok. But like bigger trucks better. Need that V8 power baby!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Last night I took the snow plow off the Wrangler and put the regular bumper back.
Midwest folks don't swear at me if I jinxed it and we get another dump of snow. |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
a little more progress on my 39 Chrysler floor project.one more panel to make and probably the tailpan below the trunk lid as i doubt it's in good enough shape at the bottom,to weld the new floor to.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Thanks for the vote. Anyone can do this stuff once you grasp the principles involved. Some day I'll tell about the bank barn with a blown-out foundation I propped up and laid a new foundation up under. Jacking that huge monster of unknown weight had me very nervous. Just went real slow and checked everything repeatedly as I went. I employed safeguards, but still had my nerves tingling and my gut wrenching.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yesterday I got the 2020 Mustang GT vert out of our cold storage building to start the spring clean up. Not really much to do other than check the oil and go over it with a spray quick detailer.
Looks like Wednesday is the first cruise day top down cruise day temp wise. |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Watching Red Sox Celebration of the 2004 "Reverse The Curse" year which ended a 86 year drought in Championships. All the guys are there. I watched em win with my Dad, he died a month later. This century has been kinder to the Red Sox.
