Alan I'm sorry to hear about your friends parents. It's a messed up world we live in anymore. I had to take my dog to the vet today he was hobbling around pretty bad. Good news was his leg wasn't broken just has an infection from a bite wound. Maybe this will teach him that he is too old to be out fighting with coyotes.

I failed to mention the fact that the ol man driving the tractor (who knows it all) loaded my pretty much brand new trailer different this time.
And before I could say no, he sat a 900 to 1200 lb bail on each fender, they are a little bent now. I thought the tread plate fenderwells were tough enough, guess not.

Those tread plate fenders look awesome though. I bet they are a lot stronger than the crappy sheet metal ones I have but a round bale is a bit excessive. I bent my trailer fenders by being to lazy to turn atv's around when loading them. I just layed the ramps on the fenders and drove them on.

Sorry to hear about your friends parents. Someone needs to exterminate a couple of kids.
I saw your post about the wrecker. I am gonna have to not sell it to you if I have to move crap!!! If and when it warms up some I will at least move a couple of the cars out of the way.

Your welcome to come on up anytime. Not a lot of exciting stuff left around here. I sold almost 50 cars in the last 4 years so most of the good stuff is gone. I had a lot of 30's and 40's stuff had 17 coupes mostly 35 to 39, a 49 olds convert. several older merc conv. but that stuff all lives someplace else now.I am getting too old to build much more stuff. I am running a race to see which rust away first all the cars or my body if you know what i mean.
Alan
I am glad to see your gonna haul the wrecker. Think that would be the safest way to move it. I will get the two 63 merc. out of the way and we can then just drag the wrecker out to load. I would be really surprised if it wouldn't crank but I would want to drain the tank and clean the fuel system out and check the brakes also before I tried to drive it.

Howdy Misery FTE. Didn't get on yesterday, just read about what happened Alan. Needless to say, my prayers & sympathies go out with everybody else's.
Kris, glad you found them. Went looking for the address on google the other day, turned out to be non-existent. Had it in my head that street was residential, but didn't trust my memory. I was right, not only residential, but the number they have doesn't exist either. Lists it at #10, houses start in the 90s & don't go below 60s (short street). On the bright side, I got to see something you don't see much these days. Lemme see IF I can get a pic up here. FINALLY figured it out. Censored, expletive deleted computers!!!!

Good Morning Everybody!
I need to get out and get back on that wiring. Maybe I can get it buttoned up today. We're supposed to have a heat wave today. It'll be all the way up to 40 degrees today.
