Hell ol red's PO roller paint is a little orange peel but I'm good with it. Now ol blue could use some cleaning up and fixing a few rusty spots/rust holes/dents/dings.

Afghanistan is a no go this year so.......Iraq is a maybe here real soon?

 

After the troop withdraw last year, it got a little too weird for me. There's a TON more local nationals working on base. ...and they always want to start something with the Americans.

 

well alan i am glad its you and not me.... i cant find a sander that i can figure out how to work.. ha ha ha ha kinnda like those dang shovels, i just cant find one that i am qualified to operate with my limited intelligence.........got another car hauled out from behind the shop and over to the scrapyard today..it didnt bring but 380.00... 40 dollars less than the last one...

 

Well I will be on a private compound and only leave flying in a armed (door gun with me behind it) helicopter and I will be pistol and long gun armed as well.....

Would rather do the Afghan gig, better pay and 60/60 schedule, oh well.

 

rich be sure to sit on your helmet while traveling over there

 

They armored the bottom of everything now, RC. No need to sit on your helmet. Besides, they're going to fire an RPG at you , not a rifle.

Sounds like a plan, Rich. It definitely sounds like fun. Good luck.

I've been up for a while now. I couldn't sleep. I think I'm gonna get the graphics done on the Nova today. Tiff pointed out the street machine nationals are fast approaching. The auction isn't far behind that. I gotta get this thing looking good.

 

Yea I am going to get the ball rolling faster to hire back on after we get back from our Colorado trip.

 

Good morning morning everyone...have a great Wednesday.

 

i would still sit on my helmet rich.. butt wounds are hard to show to the grand kids.... well i took the water pump offa my spare engine i hope i can find a rebuild kit for it.. it looks like it may of been changed i might just try swapping it out..then rebuilding the one on the bus now and carry for a spare..

 

At least you have a spare engine with a water pump, that always nice.

 

yea rich i have 2 spare engines..am thinking of rebuilding one and keep in stock..but the engine i have now should last me the rest of my life..maybe i could sell the spare...would be a great engine in a old bronco..... ha ha ha ha ha

 

You talking spare bus cummings?? Yea what a torque monster in a Bronco, or your rat rod Ford??

 

well larrry is kinnda wanting to put the hemi i tore down the other day in the old ford...a c-180 cummins in a bronco would sure be a eye catcher at smore..ha ha ha ha ..i have a 13 or 15 speed road ranger laying around..but would need to use one of the divorced 205 transfer cases i guess.... would need to beef the frame up a bit too i think

 

You are not kidding about being a SMORR beast, is you could keep ujoints and axles in it....

"Hemi-rat rod" yea that kinda goes together better.

 

Good morning all. Alan, nice progress on the Chevelle. Rich, good luck on the work. Looks like it might be a few weeks before my son makes it to Springfield. His girlfriend is coming home the next few weekends. RC, you have plenty of projects, you'll outlive all of us.
