Good for you! Take care of yourself.... So where is the bench and shop at nowadays??

I cant wait to see what happens next!

TJ's Chevy · 03-28-2019, 11:35 AM

Well folks I'm heading back down close to home. UPRR is laying off and I was on their list. Lined my job back at the saw shop for awhile and that's my excuse to get back onto the 66 full force this year since I'll be closer to home. One thing about the railroad especially now is....ZERO job security unless you have high seniority. Anyhow, enjoyed my time up here and met alot of great guys. But I'm looking forward to getting back onto my truck.

61K10 · 03-28-2019, 02:05 PM

that's the sh$ts TJ, as you said before it might come. Still a bummer. Maybe some of the old farts like me will retire and they will call you back. good luck and get back on that tk.

Kimble------------------

**Palf70Step** · 03-28-2019, 02:48 PM

Sorry to hear about the job, but I am glad you'll be able to get back on the 66 again. How's the Dodge hanging in there for ya?

Yeah we'll see what happens. Union Pacific is not the best company to work for that's for sure. Least the shop I was in was pretty bad. I'm keeping tabs with BNSF and G&W. G&W happens to be close to home as well so hopefully they'll be hiring soon. I'll be back on the truck in a week for sure man.

The ol cummins has been running like a champ. Loving the 4 inch straight exhaust that's for sure. haha I'm excited to get back on the 66 that's for sure.

Johns 66 · 03-28-2019, 03:42 PM

TJ...So sorry to hear about the job....Im sure things will work pout...at least I hope so....Cant wait to see the progress you make on the ole 66.

Thanks man! Worse could happen I'm sure....but I get to go back to my trucks so I'm happy. 64 GMC needs brakes and steering and the 66 needs to be finished so Plenty to cover this year for sure!

**straight6chevyguy** · 03-29-2019, 02:24 PM

Sorry about the getting laid off there TJ but glad You are going to be getting back to the the trucks. I want to see and hear that hot rod 6 come to life!

Thanks buddy! Hopefully that'll happen this year as well. Motor is literally a couple hours away from being a runner. lol

Average Joe · 04-07-2019, 01:33 PM

Well, that sucks about the job. It sounds like it was a good experience though. It will definitly look good on a resume if nothing else.

TJ's Chevy · 07-16-2019, 12:12 AM

Months have gone by and I haven't yet even had the chance to get back on this ol gal. Been catching up with a crap ton of life since I've been back. Anyhow! Got it out for the first time this year a few weeks ago and into the sunshine. I've also been fighting with my internet company being down ALOT lately so that also explains my lack of activity on here.
Yesterday being Sunday I pulled the truck out and tinkered on finalizing what it would take to get this 292 fired up and running. Needless to say......Not much at all. Fuel, water, oil, and priming would allow it to roar to life. Gotta fill the trans and put the drive shaft in as well. Folks it looks like I'll be firing it up FINALLY very soon. Work has been NUTS and I have little time for anything these days, but I'm planning for the beginning of August to hear this motor for the first time.

Until then folks! If anything else happens I'll be updating long as my interwebs work!

**Palf70Step** · 07-16-2019, 07:15 AM

Glad to see you back at it. Looking foward, as I know you are, to hearing the old gal.

**straight6chevyguy** · 07-16-2019, 02:22 PM

I'm ready and waiting!
