Re: Big Red Dog
Well, yesterday started off with the end of this epic of procrastination. Mow the yard. Dodging the rain only left me with 1' high weeds, hiding a chunk of frame. Not good for the almost new mower. So this morning, I pulled it apart and welded up the break and tried to finish the mowing. Felt like a Zamboni (or whatever they are called) with nooo traction on wet grass. After a few hours FedEx came by with a package that needed signed, notarized and re-FedExed today. I should have noticed the hesitation in the voice of the new FedEx driver when I asked her where the nearest drop was, but I didn't. Drove for 2 hours around Doniphan county to determine what I suspected. I will have to drive 36 miles to St. Joseph to a FedEx drop. The address FedEx is going to deliver the package to is in St. Joseph.
I have a large enough family that I'll be buying pre-07 Cummins dodges until I die. Procrastination/frustration it's about the same. Dave. |

Re: Big Red Dog
I guess that explains the white over white on the cab top.

Re: Big Red Dog
Inside rear window sill-headliner? Seam separation? Or maybe rust and that is a fab'ed patch that's already in and being welded?
Let's see what Troy says. Dave. |

Re: Big Red Dog
I woke up this morning and was in a pretty good mood, as mornings go for night shift people. Thought I'd check in on the Big Red Dog and now,
I'm seeing Red! Way to go Troy, one step closer. Dave. |

Very nicely done. I was concerned about you and a few others out there in the storms.

Re: Big Red Dog
I thought about building a square base and back and rocker type tubes to connect the two so I could roll it to its back and stand in te rear window area and sand but I don't work on these enough to justify doing so.
