Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
That's hilarious. It might be better if they knew. Somebody might fall out when you pull up in the yard with it.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Regan, this house thing has turned into a major disaster of epic proportions..
Would have been easier to burn it down and rebuild.. Last week I spent 3 days crawling around under it building new stringers and peirs...the whole floor had dropped down 2-3 inches in the center over a 32 ft span...my knees look like hamburger.. I'm hopefully rounding the corner on it though...started doing some sheetrock repairs. .with my normal job , it may still take me a couple more months.. I was just telling a buddy of mine the other day that I havnt touched the truck since Thanksgiving..

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Me too, I know taking care of your parents is important. But, I miss watching the trucks progress. All in good time though.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Greg, spoke to Dan yesterday. Said he still owes pictures on the fender job, he hadn't posted them as his technical expert (grandson) doesn't stick around long enough to help with pictures when he's back from college... I'll see him later this year at a metalshaping workshop and will retrieve a copy then and will post here for you..

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Thanks for checking in....
Still no truck work... but kitchen project is getting close to done... Working full time and doing all this in my spare time...im ready for it to be over with... But I've got most of the cabinets built and installed....got one more section of cabinets to go....then there'll be a lot of odd and end stuff to finish up Working on the island now..doing a butcherblock top on it...having a fit with the spar finish..cant get it to smooth out...I even sanded it back down to raw wood and started over with all new products..its better now, but I'm still a little disappointed with the finish...

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
TOTALBoat table top epoxy is what you want I tried all kinds of different Varnish’s urethanes when I restored the 57 correct craft It was a little difficult for me and what I was doing but it is perfect for what you are doing it flows out self-leveling it is made for table tops Check it out
