that convenient i just cleaned my gun

 

YouTube - Mark Knopfler - Cleaning My Gun [NEW]


I keep a weather eye on the horizon, back to the wall
I like to know who’s coming through the door, that’s all.

It's my old army training
Kickin in
I’m not complaining
It’s the world we live in

Blarney and malarkey, they’re a devious firm
Take you to the cleaners, or let you burn
The help is breaking dishes in the kitchen,
(thanks a lot)
We hired the worst dishwasher
this place ever got...

Stay below the radar, they want to spoil our fun…..

In the meantime, I’m cleaning my gun

Remember it got so cold ice froze up the tank
We lit a fire beneath her just so she would crank
Keep a weather eye on the horizon
Tap the storm glass now and then
We got a case of old damnation
for when you get here my friend

We can have ourselves a party before they come………
In the meantime, I’m cleaning my gun

We had women and a Mirror ball, we had a dj
He used to eat pretty much all that came his way
Ever since the goons came in took apart the place
I keep a tire iron in the corner just in case

Hang a magic bullet on a little chain
keep me safe from the chilly winds
and out of the rain

we’re gonna might need bullets should we get stuck
any which way, we’re gonna need a little luck

you can still get gas in heaven and drink in kingdom come….

In the meantime, I’m cleaning my gun

 

i found it in my grandfathers garage while putting up plywood
i cleaned it up but still need to shine it some more

 

Cool find, will make a nice addition to the interior for show!

 

steve im thinking ill mount it to the passenger's side a pillar it should look good with the old international dash

 

That's awesome!!

I've got a red one like that hanging in my garage!

 

I want one of those!

 

 

Greg looks whipped here, lol

 

Hated missing this one! Hoping you got lots accomplished.

 

We missed you too!

Still going and updating the pictures above, I'll add comments later.

 

Hey Jam it might be a good idea to put a strap plate over that 90* joint. Ideally when joining frames or replacing a section or welding on one period, it is best if you have the joint or weld at a 45* angle or so between top and bottom. Or atleast anything but a 90*. It gives you alot bigger joint area, and is alot stronger than a 90*. Just a suggestion, but I'd say it'll hold the way it is. It's looking sweet bro.

 

that was the mock up
i know an angle is stronger but it will be plated with 1/4" on inside and 3/16" on the outside so im sure 90* combined with the plates will hols

 

thank you everyone that helped to day ...please rep these guys
Greg and I did most of the mock up and fitment
