Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Yep, glad ya'll are okay. It got my home state pretty good as well. Tupelo is about 40-45 mins from my hometown, & we pass through that area everytime we come home. It's famously known for being the birthplace of Elvis (for those that don't know). I heard about some damage further southeast in the areas where my sister & her family lives, as well as the Jackson area where we lived for a little over a year before moving to SC. Nobody I know has been personally affected thus far, but more storms today they say.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Small Update… Started cleaning up the inner fenders to get them in primer… new DA sander died...:bang head: will be contacting Eastwood tomorrow…
Checked my Engine angle, all good… Started to hook up exhaust pipes to the ram horn manifolds… Driver's side manifold was a flea bay find, and as I began to tighten the pipe to the manifold, POP… one of the 3 studs popped right out the side of the casting, along with a piece of the manifold... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Here are a few photos... Driver's side inner fender did get some primer on the repaired area… Took some pics of the Impala taillights in the buckets... ![]()

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Bought a DA Sander from Eastwood at the end of February... Used it very little, and this past weekend it wouldn't work when applying air...
![]() Got on the Eastwood site, clicked the "Live Chat" button and explained situation to Customer Service Rep... Pushed it over to Tech Assistance... The Tech guy immediately advised it sounded as if it was some internal problem with the item and issued a replacement order... ![]() Small problem solved rather quickly... ![]() Eastwood Company... ![]()

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Did you check the position of the small lever on the left side by the handle (if it has one). Mine seems to have flopped down to the closed position every time I go to use it. It might be something as simple as pushing the lever up against the motor and it will fire right up.
