Yeah, yeah...it's only 30 April, but I'm already getting grief for not having this thread up and running...

Goooooood morning boys and girls.

Can't wait for the 5th!

 

You're not the only one!

Good May morning Missouri ! Everyone have a great month FTE Gang

 

Good Morning All!

Happy New Month!

 

Well I am tossing in the towel on driving the ol blue. To many issues and $ and it is not fun anymore, I am not enjoying myself. Putting it back under the carport till my next time home.....

The Dodge will trailer the Bronco, end of discussion.

 

Good Morning Everybody!

Aww Rich, that sucks. It would've been great to have both trucks there, but as long as YOU'RE there, that's all that really matters. The offer still stands to put new exhaust on blue. I have 2 1/2" pipe and bends here. ...just sayin'.

The weather sucks, so I think I'll get some house cleaning done unless it clears up some.
The guy came out to look at the 'Vette last night. It's still in the garage, so I guess I'll have it a while longer. I don't even really care anymore. Not like I'm hurting and HAVE to sell them.

 

Thanks for the offer on the exhaust, but it is a accumulation of a # of things at this point and I am just tired of it all.

I appreciate all the help, but it isn't going to happen and I am not worrying about it any more.

I have 2 weeks till I go back and would like to enjoy that time instead of being under that truck anymore.

66 floors are looking good......

 

I understand, Rich. We'll get it next time.

Thanks on the compliment. The trans tunnel was kicking my butt all afternoon. I need to get some primer and paint underneath and on top of the bare metal.

 

Definitely better to step away then do something you might regret or mess up pushing yourself.

 

Sorry to hear that about Blue. But I do understand also what you mean, just two more weeks home, and myself I may have done the same thing. Don't think that's how I'd want to spend that time. On the other hand, IF you get a wild hair and want to drive em' and need a hand you know on a phone call we're pretty good at getting there.
Alan the floor looks great, really nice work. I'm not much for fab work, maybe a wheel well etc here and there, but not that much.
Not sure what's on my schedule other than getting out to Sparta to get my hair cut. Then I really need to knock some filler down and shoot some primer, but mine will be rattle can. Would like to have the top of the cab done, and duct tape gone. But that I just don't see happening.
Coffee sure is going down nice tho!

I gotta go pick up some eggs this morning for someone, then I'll get busy on the '66. The weather looks like it's clearing up.

 

I'll swing by after I get my hair cut and grab eggs.... Thanks!

Good morning all! Looks like its clearing up! Hope to figure out the alternator wires today, I dint know where those extra wires went that were in the alt before I changed motors....looks like there isnt any? Hope to get somewhere on it today.

Need to get my compressor for my comercial sandblaster back up and running. Need some extra $
Hope everyone has a great day! Looks to be nice and cool. Jeff

 

Hey Jeff! I'm not sure why Ford made everything harder than it had to be. With GM, there's ONE wire going to the distributor and bang! you have ignition. ONE wire going to the alternator and you're off and charging. Ford is way over complicated there. At least everything else is simple. There are several different alternators with different outputs throughout the years. I can't really help you there. You'll need a wiring diagram.
