I do not need drugs to do a days work, lol, last shot I got lasted 5 months. I'll take a shot over surgery any day.

Morning folks...

 

rich what kind of shot is it? maybe i could get one.. as long as it is not processed thru the liver.. but it probably is..

i got a few more parts in last night for the 71. the only problem is the front brake hoses.. they are not like i needed and rock auto checked and said all the ones they sell are like that.. i ordered some through national parts depot..they claim they fit a 71 ford with frt. drum brakes so i will see.. i also got my parts form lmc.. i like my new frt. turn signal lens they are pretty..ha ha ha .i also got the parts to rebuild the steering column so it should steer like a new one. hopefully my sheet metal parts will be here this afternoon.. it will be good to be back in a ford truck that has all these new parts. i wont know how to act. ha ha ha ha ha

 

i just had a good surprise... i was digging thru my stash looking for a wood grain xlt dash for the bump.. and came across a fresh rebuilt C6 for a fe block i clean forgot i even had.. it was for the one dave bought off me when my grandson wanted it and didnt like the standard. i should be able to sell it to help fund the ford project..

 

Score RC! Haha

Alan, I may be by tomorrow sometime if you will be at the shop. Or tomorrow night. And over the weekend if you need stuff.

 

Cortisone and steroid direct in the spine....make life all better.

 

Good morning youins, just went through Boonville on my way to the boonies. Have a good day everybody.

 

i put in a short day today but did manage to strip, scrape major grime, spray de-greaser, and pressure wash the engine...so now i have a pretty blue 300-6 hanging from my hoist.... but being soaking wet and cold i called it a day.. when i got home there was another stack of boxes on the frt. porch..

alan check out what i have for us to play with sat. if you are still planning on making it down..

Wow - those look familiar. LOL

Take lots of pictures so I have some idea how its done when I do mine.

 

Shot will have to wait till Tricare approval.....so I put some used Tenzo seats and new Craigslist 4 pt Deist seat belts in the hillbillybug. It had those hard plastic Summit seats without pads and NO seatbelts.

A new battery makes ol blue start on the first key bump....now to put the overhaul kit in the carb, it has a little seep.

 

dang dave i was hoping you would come down and show us the proper way to build a bump.... i wish someone would... ha ha ha ha

What do you all think of this paint combo? Opposite of what I wanted in the first place, but I think it still shows classic 70s truck... I am confused on color stuff lol

 

That's funny RC.

The only thing I've accomplished is taking it apart.

 

Nice color scheme, the race trac and fender lip chrome clash IMO. Just race trac chrome and NO fender lip chrome is good to go.

Are you using the dent and race trac chrome set up or not, I can't remember?

 

Jeff. I'll paint it like that all day long! That truck is absolutely beautiful!

RC. I'm yours all day on Saturday. Do you need me to bring anything down with me tool-wise?

Jeff. Tomorrow I'm at the car lot, but I'll be at the shop 1730-1930.

I managed to get a scrap run and some other errands in today, too. 1,500 pounds of scrap took a ride today. I told you guys I've been busy the past few weeks. Between the clean up and the fact that bandit is going back together, I actually have a little room in the shop now.

 

alan i cant think of any thing.. those floor panels look like they will require some trimming . i have several sizes of grinders and i think some cut off wheels but not sure how many. i will check tomorrow.. my electric shear and hand shears should work for the flat areas.. i have a reciprocating saw and blades.. but i am smooth out of the blades for the small air saw but should have a few blades for my old electric jigsaw.. so i think i should have everything we need or at least enough to get by.. you may want your helmet if you dont like mine.
