Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
This has got to smell amazing. I'd probably eat a dozen pancakes and four or five waffles per day while that process was going on.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Daughters boyfriend came over with a problem. His security lug nuts were stuck and he had broken the “key” tool in one of them. His tires are super bad and getting new ones tomorrow but no tire shop wants to tackle getting the security lugs off.
Welded nuts to the end of each of them and spun them off. One other lug nut was messed up by another tire shop so I drove a deep well impact socket on that one and spun it off. He had a new set of all lug nuts so we installed those before he left.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I once bought a rear end from a junkyard and the rims had security lug nuts on them. The guy grabbed a torch and I had to stop him. I don't want it if you're going to melt the damn thing. Just leave the rims on dude.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
What does the hydrometer tell you? Viscosity, sugar content?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Spent a good bit of the afternoon working on the quarter panel and fender flare on my dad's 66. Also drove it around for the first time in about 8 months.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Got this ole 6-71 Detroit running today. Had to run the exhaust valves, and set the injector heights but she purred right along afterward. Been sitting 5+ years.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I polished the hubcaps on my Packard. They weren't too bad for 71 years old. The one on the car is before and the other is after. And then I hit the paint with some Linseed oil just for giggles. I was shocked. THE CAR IS BLACK! I would have never guessed. I would have done more but I have to scrub some surface rust with CLR first. I think that the old girl is going to clean up nicely. I still have a lot of polishing to do and lose the dried up masking tape on the trim. But so far so good. The bumpers are next. Make her pretty again.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yesterday I decided to replace a broken firebrick in our wood stove. Took time to let it cool first, then cleaned out the ashes. Might as well clean the cap & brush the flue next. The broken brick was against the back of the stove, and held in place by the bricks on the floor.... which are held in place by the bricks on the side.... one of which was broken. It's all good now and we had a nice warm fire last night. Just took a bit longer than I had anticipated.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Rewebbed this old lawn chair. Ready for more decades of use.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Pretty cool, where did you buy the new webbing? Looks like you're ready to go watch some racing from the martini racing pit.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That’s funny. EBay - had a lot of options for vintage webbing. I liked the red white blue theme. I really like these old folding chairs versus the newer collapsible style that’s tough to get back into the storage sack. The last two folders I got (including this one) were free on the side of the road.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Welded up some thrust washers to the legs of the steel lawn chairs. Got tired of one or two legs sinking Into the lawn.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Good job on re-webbing these chairs of yesteryear,, I did a couple many years ago when they were still popular.. I had a niece at an age about 4 get a nasty gash from one of these aluminum framed chairs by it folding up on her ,,I do not remember the part of the chair that caused the cut on her.. and of course there were more than one company making them.. ( not down playing your fine looking chairs ),and I can just hear the many great replies you will get from people admiring them..

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Thanks for the good words. Maybe I'll take on a chaise lounge version sometime for fun These chairs work pretty good in the snow - I'd drag them (and other supplies) to the pond in a sled and use for lacing up skates.
