Been working in my lab on a faster way to remove the glycerol from freshly made biodiesel. Also been working on shortening the frame on my 73 HiBoy so I can mount the 53 panel on it.

My son and I moved the chassis for his uni out of the barn and into the shop. Next step is to replace the cab floor so we can remount the body.

This is what the chassis and engine looks like now:

Thanks Dave. We spent over 200 hours on just the frame alone..........

I welded up all the body seams on the body already, now we just have to repair the cab floor, and finish up the body work and she'll be ready for finish paint. Another year or two and it might be finished!

Looks good Don. I've always like blue and yeelow together. Had a buddy build a baja them colors and it looked sharp.
How many of you are dunking the bird in the deep frier?

I didn't get to last year. We got any good recipes or strange traditions.

I just skewer mine on the rotisserie and slow turn it over the BBQ coals, takes lots of charcoal but its worth it!

We cook it the traditional way in the oven. We have a 25 pounder this year!

Old93junk · #13 (**permalink**) 11-02-2009, 08:16 PM

25 pounds...........thats a big'un!
We may get a 20lber, we usually have some salmon or pheasant too, depending whats been caught or shot.
