Good Morning Everybody!

I officially hate this computer. If you touch the friggin' mouse a certain way it does a bunch of crap all on it's own. I managed to get the print enlarged again by moving the curser near the side of the screen. .....didn't touch any buttons, didn't click on anything, but now the print is twice as big.

Can one of you please tell me how to fix that again. I forget. It's just this site that's messed up.

I'm gonna get in to the steering column on Bandit today and see about getting the brake lines run. I hope to be done with the fabrication and installation today.

yea rich.. i think i will be 100% by next tue. i am now re-thinking my body work on my 71..i may just go ahead and do the body work and finish the complete paint job while i have it in the shop.. the only problem is i wanted to get the truck frame welded to the support columns in the shop to make it easy to pick up the bed.. i will have to give that more thought..

Just use your engine hoist, RC. That's what I do. It makes it a ton easier to move large pieces of truck around.

Afternoon Everyone!

Just in for lunch. I got the steering column swapped out on bandit and the new shift linkage made. I still have a couple odds and ends to button up, but I'm about done.

Good morning everybody, hope everybody is doing well, how's that foot R.C.? As usual, nothing exciting around here. Still looking for .22's, I can't believe how crazy it's gotten with that caliber. I've been snagging more 9mm's, and really miss our shooting spot back home in Busiek. So far what I've come across here are all indoors and you have to have some kind of a membership. Anything for another buck.....

Y'all behave

Unk Bob
