I've just caught up with recent news, and truck threads of course, and the amount of BS in this Clown World is incredible.

A man just won a woman's weight lifting competition. WTF !!!???

If I told my friends that I just won a woman's competition, they would beat the sh$t out of me.

Your comment above is f$$king funny.

I'm glad you gave a heads up about not being here next Sunday, otherwise I'd be squinting for the whole of next week.

I was beginning to think that I was identifying with being Chinese, but then realized it was simply the ongoing squinting at your thread !

享受下周末

 

Well, well, well.

It's a Sunday in some universe where we age slower than those on earth, thusly a few months equals a few days in my universe.

And my universe, kiddo's, is apparently corporate hell.

Now I ain't one to complain (usually), but my lord, have I been busy. Acquisitions, closures, investors, blah blah blah.

Not going to go into too much detail, cause you ain't here to hear me whine. But fear not, I got the goods. With pictures. and maybe a video.

Honestly, I was going to start posting this January (2024) of all the s we got accomplished on Eleanor.

Then I made a boo boo, and was cleaning battery terminals on Putt Putt, my inherited M'F ing ford ranger (my mom's last ride). This ****, FoMoCo, tried to end my modeling career with its caked-on battery acid buildup.

I'm good, but since I did not know I had this dust in my hair, I took a hot shower, and parts of my body were rewarded (not rewarded) with a generous sprinkling of activated battery acid. Thats a month and a half of my life filled with pain as my body healed.

Lesson learned and passed to my boy. Whenever we are done working on our POS's, cold shower first so the pores don't open up, clean all the **** away. Then a hot shower.

You know, I don't mind WD on my hands when eating lunch. Still try to wash my mitts.

Anyway, for those that know me here, there, or wherever; let the show begin, again, for the second time, or whatever.

See ya next Sunday (holiday weekend or not, like I care), imma show you the "s" show of a weld repair that needed to transpire.

 

Well, well, well, would you look at the time.

What time is it kiddo's?

It's sponge bob time>>>>

wait, wrong dimension.

It's catch-up time. and today we are going to talk about every car dude/chic and truck dude's/chic's biggest nightmare:

Hidden rust.

not the "well it's got some rust"

No, the type where we are like "where the F did that come from"? stuff.

So we had the windshield replaced.

We removed 1.5 metric tons of silicone.

and low and behold:

"where the F did that come from?"




Gnarly, I know.

But guess what.

I know a guy.

And I had purchased a new welder recently.

Cadatheous and I decided to use this opportunity to hammer out that bump on the drinker's side roof and eliminate this blemish.




By the way, I know those are Christmas lights on my lift's post. I ain't changing them until they die. If you don't like that, you really might hate the fact that underneath my lift ramps I have music activated (and voice activated) Leds strips that change colors with the beat of the music, and flatulence turbulence (ask me how I know).

Will it win a beauty pageant? Only if the judges are blind.

Will it keep the moisture out? that's the plan.

At the end of the day, just super glad it wasn't the roof rails.

To those that have served, and those that have paid the ultimate price for our freedom: Thank you.

Peace and Taco's,

Uncle Killa

 

I just wasted too much of my life reading through 10 years worth of entertaining posts. I have to commend you for continuing with this project through all of the struggles! Carry on...

 

Yeah, its a read.

In my defense, Imma shade tree mechanic without the tree.

The good news, we are on the homestretch.

 

Well, well., well. It's Sunday.

Cuban contraband is lit.

Little peanut butter whiskey.

And a whole lot of good feelings!

So, for those still following along.

Its alive!!!!! (although I THOUGHT FOR SURE OTHERWISE)

But I am still getting you all caught up. So, I digress.

Best and worse call ever. Headers are here (for the 7.3).

Unc Killah "Ya!"

Bellowed up pipes are here (for the 7.3)

Unc Killah "YA!!!!"

Your stock turbo is not so good. It'll work for a while, but on it's last legs.

Unc Killah "wtf!!"

So kiddo's, what's an uncle to do? Cry (we aint got time for that).

Roll Eleanor down the hill? we've come to far for that. Plus your Unc aint no quitter.

Take up drinking? Uh yea, have you even read my intros?

So buying a slightly modified turbo with deletes it is. I could pay the mortgage later.

It's here!


Its done!





It's coming back to "the shop!"



It's home! (again, for the 3rd teenth time?!)





Next week putting the band (face) back together.

Love and diesels.

Unc Killah out!

 

Curious about that rust repair above the windshield. Did you get that all sorted out? Any more pictures?

 

We sure did! Cardatheous is humble, but skilled. We were too busy sorting it due to a time constraint that we did not get anymore pictures than what I posted.

 

well, well, well.... it's not Sunday. My lap tops battery decided to die Saturday, and here we are finally with it back on a Wednesday.

I will post what I had lined for Sunday later tonight. Sound fair?

Love and Diesel.

Unk

 

Well, well, well...it's not Sunday.

But I still got lots to share now that my laptop is back up and running.

Kiddos: whatcha got for us today?

Unc Killa: "Trying to put the band back together"

Kiddo's: Like jake and elwood?

Unc: " I like your enthusiasm. But no, reuniting some old steel with some other old steel. Time to put Eleanor's face back on"

Kiddo's: AHHHHHHH

Before I share some photos of this process, be warned. The drinker side header didn't like the inner fender's placement.
Captain's side:


Drinker's side (or passenger princess's side, your call).


1st world problems when your "custom" S box has fitment issues when you do upgrades.


With a little help from Dr. Sawzall, we can now proceed.


Tractor is not happy with how much we had to cut. Neither was Unc. But here we are. May hang in on my wall of shame.




BTW, remember that hood I bought last year....



We all agreed, it fits the build, presence, aura, whatever you call it.



Peace and Diesel.

Unc Killa out.

 

Good to see it going back together. Hopefully that means it's closer to driving!

 

Well, well, well.

Its Sunday.

My lap top is having wifi connecting issues.

But i believe i can still at least post this with some pictures.

Happy fathers day to you all.





I know, a bit big. have the center caps too.
But my buddy needed monies, so what's an unc to do?

Peace and diesel,

Unc Killa out

 

Oh yea it is.

 

Good to hear!

 

Well, well, well. Sunday funday.

Irish coffee...check!

Macanudo cigar...Check!!

Laptop not fighting me.... check!!!

So kiddos, the face is on. Front end is aligned.

The hood is fit correctly.

Time to button up the mouth of the monster.

Grill, oversized bumper, and clean up the headlight area scale.

Oh, and gotta mount this little guy.




Somewhere in here...




Also got all these new handy dandy mounting bits. Hope it all lines up...


Cardatheous: stop!!!! the bumper!

Unc Killa: Da Bumper???!!!

Cardatheous: THE bumper!!!


Cardatheous: I think you were right to powder coat and match the jungle gym.

Unc Killah: Ya think??!




Headlight buckets de-scaled and painted.

Old grill center in for now.







Coming together nicely (IMO).

Love and Diesel,

Unc Killah
