Thanks Nuke, I will be doing some boxing once I get the sandblasting done.

 

Was looking at your pics and my frame and now have a good idea how to do the boxing. Again thanks nuke.

 

No problem. I did pretty much the same as you, moving the cross members. After looking at it, I realized the cross member stiffens the frame where the springs attached, so, I knew I had to shore that up!

 

Well the better half went to sears and checked out tool boxes with me. We decided that most of the reasonably priced ones weren't very good. So we had to go to home depot to pick up some house paint and she looked at the tool boxes on sale. She said the husky they had looked good and we could get it. Well we ran home and got the truck to pick it up. I am a lucky guy. Then I took her to the Cup race at Dover today and watched are guy Chase Elliott finish third, it was a good weekend.

 

Got out to the garage tonight and started to put tools in the new box. Also trying to clean up so I can get back to the tank install.

 

Always fun putting your tools away in a brand new box with SO much more space. Congrats on the better half being so COOL.

 

New tool boxes are awesome! It's about time for me to add another one, the two roll aways I have now are stuffed.

 

I got a great deal at Home Depot on the box and it is better quality than I expected. I took two drawers of tools out of my Craftsman unit and put it in one and it slides open and closed so easy. The Craftsman box kept dropping off the slides that is why I got the new one.

 

I can't believe the tools I have and the duplicates. It is good to do an inventory once and awhile.

 

You are right about that 390, and I wager that each of us, especially the older guys, have all accumulated duplicates, and triplicates of certain tools. I have always felt that "One is None, and Two is One".. If I have two, of something then I can usually find one of them.

BTW, that was our mantra in Vietnam, when shooting at the enemy.

Got some metal cut to start boxing the rear frame area. Hope to do some today and this weekend. Pictures to follow.

 

Did get a couple of things done.



First blocking set in.



Other side. Using pieces of the two wheel drive frame.

 

Glad to see progress 390. And also glad to see my garage isn't the only one to look like that.

 

Need to take a day and clean again. There is too much in there.
