Morris instead of scraping, use the pressure washer,
I hope the fires stay 200 miles away

Once the mirrors are painted they'll blend right in.
These fires are almost 200 miles away from us Gerry but the smoke is still thick today and it sounds like it`ll be here for a while yet.
I haven't found any mirrors that I like for my 53 yet John, likely I`ll go with the small round chrome ones from a mid 60`s Ford truck.
It`s deck scraping and painting day here, not something I'm really looking forward to so wish me luck!
Maybe you could rent one of those floor sanders Morris and make it real easy.

I thought of using my pressure washer Gerry but my 110v doesn't have a lot of pressure and I don't have a 220v outlet for my big one.
I hope the fires get put out soon but that's not too likely just yet.
It may come down to renting a belt sander John, we'll see.

Happy Thursday mornin'all. Been laid up with sciatic nerve problems. (I think that's what it's called) Tons on Volteren and massaging, and it's bearable today. Found a 22 gal fuel tank on Kijiji. The guy lives 5 min from my house. He bought a tank from Mid-Fiftys and decided to go another route. He want's $350 for it (new in the box) It's selling for $399.00 US + shipping. I can't afford not to buy it! Have a great day guy's.

Good afternoon folks.
I`m going to look into renting a floor sander John, all I need to do is to take the shine off the old stain, right?
I`m taking some time and heading to the lake for the day.
Bummer on the sciatic nerve pain Grant, hopefully the Volteren and massaging work quickly.
That`s a great deal on the 22 gal fuel tank, I just bought a power brake booster and master cylinder kit form Mid Fifties, $299 US and about $550 by the time it ended up in my hands.

The exchange rate certainly isn't in our favor Gerry and when the banks throw their fees on it`s seems to be almost 25%.
I was going to order a bunch more parts and trim for my 53 M100 but that's going on hold for now.

Good morning everyone, we have smoke hovering over us too, some of which might be from the fires out west but we have some burning north of us too in Caribou Park.

Happy Friday everyone.

Starting back up on my 78/79 build. Slowly getting back into it because I'm selling off my other toy (05 Suzuki Katana 600).

Priorities back in alignment
