no wrenching for me........ BUT there will be plenty of block sanding. trying to get the cab and front end ready for sealer.

 

Well I think I will start off tonight with a couple of gibsons ,tell some lies,maybe rebuld my steering box,then tomorro I hope to install the bomper ive been restoring all week maybe go to the pick n pull and wrestle a wiring harness out of a early ford to start wiring the woody thats the plan but LORD knows

 

well since my truck is frozen to the ground behind my garage so ill be working on my gokart project..." youtube overpowered powerwheels " to check it out...im almost dune making a corvette verson of one...should be fun

 

Pleasure to look at, fun to hold, but I wouldn't want to own one
(especially applies to the wenches....lol)

 

Since Paunxatawny Phil saw his shadow we still have about 4-6 weeks before I can even think about it here...

 

fire up the snow blower and clean up the driveway AGAIN.

 

Fire up the shovel and clean the driveway again, then front wheel bearings and an inner tie rod on my wife's Vovlo 240. Headin into Chicago next weekend to see the World Of Wheels goings on.

 

I removed the steering box, column and wheel last night, just waiting for the parts to install the toyota box. I think I'll relocate the battery to the bed. I'll just mount it ia a marine plastic box for now and then fab up something that looks real nice later.

 

Nope. No wrenching this weekend. Sat on a plane yesterday. In Vegas for the Nascar Race tomorrow!

 

winter in IA + a uninsulated garage with no heat = no worky on the projects. I am affraid that I have to wait until it gets a little warm before I can restart on anything I have in the garage.

However the wife wants a game room in the basement so I have to move my office out of the existing finsihed area, but before that happens i have to build my office. Framing and the start to the wiring will be done this weekend.

 

Maybe I'll get something truck related done tomorrow? Iv'e got an extra 51/52 donor cab that I thought I would use but now I don't need it so will try organizing everything better so I can work around it until I can sell it.
so far today just helped load and unload a 15' uhaul load of girl scout cookies.
I've only sampled 2 so far!

home now and just been sorting and going through the lists with my daughter, I told her now comes the hard part of delivering/catching everyone when they are home and collecting payment, she is 7 and her first year of scouts so she's loving it.

BobJ your progress looks great!

 

Went to M&M wrecking in Beaumont and picked up a 89 Jeep Cherokee wiper motor....$35... now to make it fit !!

 

Momma's Exploder - Intermittent starting. Replaced all Relays and Sensors....... Now comes the Fuel Pump.... :-(

Maybe it's just me but they sure made changing Fuel Pumps and Filters complicated nowadays. Not to mention expensive. When I was a kid I paid about $6.00 for a rebuilt diaphram Fuel Pump on my Y-Block. This bad-boy runs $390.00............

 

J, thanks.

One thing I forgot, can't do much Sunday, IT'S THE FIRST SWAPMEET OF THE YEAR!!! It's not big but it's close to my house and it's the first one!. Summer can't be far away, hopefully it won't snow tomorrow and I get snowed in

 

My weekend is Sunday and Monday. I've been working on a front suspension rebuild with a disk brake conversion and a few other upgrades in my '65 Falcon off and on since early this fall. I'd like to get the rear brakes buttoned up for good and get the left front spring tower sanded and painted so I can finally start putting stuff back together. If I get that all done, the brakes and wheel bearings for dad's tractor showed up Friday, so it would be nice to have enough time to get the axle assembly for that all pressed back together, too.

This tractor and my Falcon have both been torn down for WAY too long and I'm itching to get them back together and out of my hair so I can FINALLY start working on my F-2! I've got one more week of work and then I'll be furloughed for 9 glorious consecutive days. My goal is to have both those projects finished and the F-2 in the shop ready for tear-down by the time I go back to work. Fingers are crossed!
