Re: Rusty, crushy, but trysty.

Good stuff, can't wait to see some more progress. You Army? I'm Army, active duty, SGT. In Korea, so not able to work on anything. I feel your pain brother. Thank you for your service and for saving another old Chevy truck!




Edit: Where in Minnesota you from originally? I'm from the Hastings area. A small hole in the wall town called New Trier. That's crazy.

Re: Rusty, crushy, but trysty.

Good to be back home, cant wait to get started, still trying to re-adjust to "normal" life. My suburban decided to spring a leak so will need to fix that first, and get my garage organized.

Re: Rusty, crushy, but trysty.

What a week, the walls are pretty much done in the garage, i have two sheets to put up. I had to replace the water pump in my suburban. I had it at the inspector and his stupidness decided to replace a 15 amp cig lighter fuse with a 30 amp, i didnt know but the fuse has blown a couple of times when i was gone and the wife just left it blown, which is fine i could of looked at it. So later that day i was at the post office and smoke started rolling out of the dash, i took the kids out and it took me a minute to realize it was the cig lighter smoking, i had to cut the fuse. Anyways it damaged the harness under the center councel and melted part of the bezel. The owner payed for the replacement parts, and i told them i would change them out myself since i had no faith in his employee's. Some days.

Re: Rusty, crushy, but trysty.

Its good the wife was not driving, another minute and I am sure it would have gone up in flames. It took about 2 hrs to get that apart, what a pain. everything overlaps and they put all the screws in hard to reach places.
