LuckyHenriksen · 12-22-2008, 01:08 AM

Haha that is awesome. My Border Collie is so scared of my truck cuz its loud as hell. If I even walk toward it or she hears the door open she heads for the hills. What a weeney. Im trying to train the new pup to handle loud noises, like all my cars, tractors, and guns =]

joe231 · 12-22-2008, 01:22 AM

our little one there, Molly, is very skid-ish also.

we got an auto water thing with a big 3 gallon upside down jug like the culligan bottles. it gurgles as the water goes out and air goes in, if she is anywhere near it she runs like hell,

joe231 · 12-29-2008, 02:07 AM

well...the wife and I worked on her for 5-6 hours today, made some good head-way
pics!!

really, just cause some people can't multi-task......
but i have seen police here using their laptop and talking on their cell phone all while driving down a busy street......

on a side note:
anybody know if anyone makes re-popped fenders with the trim holes in them???

scotts62 · 12-29-2008, 01:11 PM

Lookin good man

protrash64 · 12-30-2008, 03:26 PM

I have the EXACT notches cut in my frame for a radiator, Joe. I wonder if there was some common type that got thrown in these trucks. Thats quite a bit of work you got done; I like airtools for quick disassembly.......
