Looking good Don

Engine looks great, and nice to see it in the chassis. Really like the 5 speed. What is it or what is it out of? I'm not very familiar with new stuff. I didn't realize there was any 5 speed available that was shorter than a T350.

Yep I'm pretty sure your son's footgear isn't OSHA approved. Ouch!

Thanks Guys!!!
Hey Mark, the boy said this is Arkansas and at least he had some shoes on LOL!
Seriously, he was excited and made a few sparks then called it quits that night. Anyway, that tranny is the same as the one in my DD a 90 Silverado 2WD. Research showed that Tranny was 88-94. The 350 I have is a 91 so the pilot bearing and throwout bearing and trans mount are all the same as my DD.

Small Update, made some sparks and getting some practice in... That small gas bottle sure suffered when the old regulator was leaking. Have fun everyone and thanks for checking in!!!

Thanks Guyz!!!
Here's a pic of the fender patch panels I'll be using along with a pack of butt welding clamps I picked up yesterday...

You may ask yourself "Why?' over the 2cd pic...

well, it's my son's Volvo trying to turn Mopar...

Hope everyone has a Great Memorial Day Weekend!!!

I salute those that have served God & Country!!!

Jmorales3181 · 05-24-2013, 10:10 AM

Thanks Flips!

Began working on the fender repair, and just about the time I had the repair panel sized to fit, my Air Compressor decided it was time for a vacation... Once the part arrives to repair the compressor I will finish the fender... Here is a pic of progress so far...

Hoping to get fender finished this coming weekend. Life is taking up lots of my time, need to edit my build name to add SLOW in there somewhere. LOL thanks for checking in guys, enjoy your days...

Happy birthday to the wifey....
Perfect opportunity for her to get a plasma cutter or something.

Thanks Guyz, and I like the way you think!!! Gotta re-align my thinking, Until I read about the plasma cutter idea, I was pretty content with her BDay dinner, especially since the boy and I killed a number of Snow crab at an all u can eat joint to celebrate her BDay!!!
