**Gregski** · 10-16-2020, 09:15 PM

Houston !

**Gregski** · 10-16-2020, 11:32 PM

yup just dropped another $145 on this master brake booster remote reservoir thingie thing, thats' with tax, license, clear coat, finders fee, and shipping

it was either this or taking the sawsall to the driver floor pan with surgical precision

**Gregski** · 10-17-2020, 08:02 PM

hey I know lets cut up that perfect fit brand new powder coated well made transmission crossmember

**Gregski** · 10-17-2020, 08:05 PM

lets see if we can manhandle it a little bit

aha aha, measure once cut twice, and it's still too short (kidding)

**Gregski** · 10-17-2020, 08:07 PM

alright a snip here and a tuck there and we are clearing the master blaster cylinder contraption

**Gregski** · 10-17-2020, 08:09 PM

who knew Hot Roddin' was a contact sport, man I tell ya two steps forward one step back, now the trans crossmember is hugging the exhaust pipe so we got to cut the intermediate pipe out and move it back 2"

**Gregski** · 10-18-2020, 11:41 PM

so no pics but a quick update, I unbolted the intermediate exhaust pipe and cut it, welded in a 2" extension, and bolted it back up, now the transmission crossmember clears both the master cylinder and the exhaust pipe, win win

I wanted to re weld the transmission cross member but I need more pipe material for an extension now that it's slid over to the left more

thanks mate, yeah finding motivation has been hard for me too lately, so go out there and do a little every day or every weekend, there are some benefits even if you don't see progress on the truck, like for example if I am cutting and grinding in the garage at least I am not on the couch shoving peanut M&Ms in my mouth or doing repetitive one arm 12 oz curls, know what I'm saying, not saying you're fat at all ha ha I am just sayin'

LT7A · 11-06-2020, 05:55 AM

I will admit that "Master of Pumpets" cracked me up more than I would like to admit. I'm not sure it is respectful to what I think is a great song, but it does make me chuckle.

daddyjeep · 10-19-2020, 09:38 AM

If this **** was easy everyone would do it... ) or something like that. Nice work.

That should limit her ability to kick you for a little while at least. Kidding aside, I hope her surgery goes well.

Yeah, it's probably how she injured her foot in the first place!

**8man** · 10-19-2020, 12:55 PM

Worst of my surgeries was the foot! I hope all goes well for her.

You know you had to change that crossmember or it would have been something much more difficult just when you thought you were through with the truck.

Thanks Robert, sorry to hear that, hers went well, well as far as we know so far.

**Gregski** · 10-23-2020, 07:27 PM

so I figure I distract you with some shinny bits while I help my wife convalesce

this actually looks and feels like a nice solid well made piece, I'm excited to put it on
