Good luck to you & your wife on your new Boy. Need pictures.

jgh64pkup · 03-25-2009, 03:50 PM

is that a 5 on 41/2 bolt circle i couldn't tell by the pics

protrash64 · 03-26-2009, 12:20 AM

I used Evercoat Glas-Lite reinforced filler for my initial bodywork...short strand fibreglass. Good stuff!!!

You could build a Corvette out of it, and Ive had some stuck on the floor for about 5 years

.

Wasnt jacking here 66stroker, just adding to the list of good Evercoat products.

Good luck with the arrival of the newby!!!!

daverod · 04-08-2009, 09:10 PM

All this and a kid in less then a month. Damn you have some skills. Maybe someday my welds will look like yours. Congrats on the kid.

Your truck is looking great.

Keep up the good work.

derider · 03-25-2009, 03:08 PM

Good luck hope everything goes good. Before you know it you will have a liitle truck buddy!

jchav62 · 03-26-2009, 09:57 AM

Any news? I hope all is going well...

shrunken66stroker · 04-02-2009, 10:29 PM

After a few days in the hospital my boy came home yesterday. Minor complications but now he's healthy and happy. Check him out.

Alan's Classic · 04-02-2009, 10:33 PM

I'm happy for you. I assume this is our first? It's an awesome feeling no matter which # it is. Just pretend this is a cigar.=

Strodder · 04-02-2009, 10:44 PM

Congrats.

Cute kid. He looks like his father without the paint mask.

Strodder · 04-02-2009, 10:46 PM

I'm just kidding he really is a cute baby. You must be proud. Have another cigar

*LILRED66* · 04-02-2009, 10:57 PM

Congratulations on the new addition. Hopefully, your son, mom and you are doing well.

jchav62 · 04-03-2009, 08:50 AM

Yea I remember when my little guy came home too. Now he's going to be 39.

aggie91 · 04-03-2009, 10:33 PM

Congrats on your new son. Hope mom and all are doing well. I remember bringing each of my 3 home and how overwhelmed I felt. Now my oldest is going to be 12 in a few months....

Contrats again!! Here is another cigar..

shrunken66stroker · 04-06-2009, 12:58 AM

Thanks for all the cigars guys. I'll be smokin' till he's 2. All is well with the family except the sleep situation. I do sleep but it's 30-45 minutes at a time and not between the hours of 2-5 am. I'll be zombiefied for the next 4-6 months till he gets on a sleep schedule. I'm not sure why I'm even awake right now. Goodnight.

gostranger · 04-06-2009, 05:58 AM

great job on the truck congrats on the new addition and man do i remember the no sleep period!!!!hang in ther it will work its self out

Strodder · 04-06-2009, 10:13 AM

We used to wake the kids up at 11pm, feed them, check there diaper, and put them back to bed. After a while they slept longer & longer until they slept through the night. It worked with both kids. Good luck. Hang in there sleepy head.

kizer · 04-06-2009, 12:27 PM

We found that putting a little baby rice cereal in their forumula made a HUGE difference because the little bit of rice would stick to his stomach and he wouldn't wake up every 3-4 hours wanting food.

Of course I think he was uh....... 5 or 6 months old when we started doing it...

DVLDOG · 04-29-2009, 07:37 PM

Can't wait to see more of the progress...great looking build.

Well, I'm back in action...sort of. I don't have a lot of time these days but yesterday I had just enough to mock up my new booster/master and take a look. It feels good to work on the old truck after over a month.

MacAttack · 05-01-2009, 02:03 PM

Wow. Really nice brake set-up.

Better have tight tooth fillings when you slam on the binders in that truck.

Mac.

Mac.

It should feel like I threw an anchor out. Now if I could just figure out what to do about running the lines. Time for another search. I know there's the pre-bent route and the bend it yourself route. I have a cheap bender but I don't have a flare tool and from what I understand they're expensive. What to do?
