Re: My 1965 build thread
Alan, by looking at your pictures I have figured out two things for you.
1-I know why your door won't line up. 2-I know where your missing rubber mallet is. See attached picture. Really nice work Alan, Thanks for sharing your secrets.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Happy birthday to me, Happy birthday to me, Happy Crapday dear Alan Happy Crap day too me........
I had all intentions of getting some crap done today, but the crap got me instead. I was on here this morning waiting for the wife to get out of the shower and I heard the down stairs toilet bubbling............What the heck (I new what it was, but didn't want to admit it on my day.) I grew up on a septic tank and never had it pumped. This new one lasted 8 years. I found out these new divided tanks need to be pumped every 3-5 years. It was packed full on the inlet side. The guy said you could probably walk on it. Nah that's alright. Normally they charge $350 but add $100 for a sunday call. He worked at it for 2-3 hours and did a fantastic job. That's gonna set back my parts buying even more. I removed all the rock I just put down cause I knew they wouldn't take their time with it. The tank had 2 about 18"x18" concrete plugs for access. It has been years since I had seen a septic tank. The last one I saw had 3 sections that made up a lid. And the new one even had a filter on the exit end. I couldn't believe it. The man at work All finished

Re: My 1965 build thread
Happy B-day Alan. Hey on the door seal my friend at the body shop said that he will put the seal on first, adjust the doors to fit then removes it and paints. That way when he puts it back on there's no problems with the doors closing.

Re: My 1965 build thread
kind of an odd time in the thread to ask about this,since you are already to paint..
but what kind of grinder(s)/discs do you use for grinding your welds? |

Alan, the extra work was probably a birthday present from a higher authority. I like to use that term. Got to use it once at work. I had a persimmon tree blow down on our campus during a storm. It was the only one we had. I got a nasty letter some time later from a Biology professor demanding to know why we removed it while he was off for the summer, and that he used it in his classroom teachings. I proudly told him it was removed by a higher authority!

Re: My 1965 build thread
I get my grinding disc's and cut off wheels from here. They have great prices, and a better product than Harbor Freight. Check them out.
