I too got some painting done this weekend. Marty came over and gave a hand on sunday.

 

That looks pretty darn nice Josh!
I wish I could have been there with you guy's. I know.....Y'all move to Southern Missouri!

You'll love the heat, humidity, snow and ice, tornadoes etc.

 

Lokin' good, Josh...

 

Looks great Josh and Larry.

 

Looks sweet

 

Looks nice Josh.

 

Looking good

 

Thanks guys, It wouldn't be this far along with out all the help from everyone on here. I appreciate all the time everyone has given to help this along. I owe you all.

Bob, any time you want to get away from the tornadoes, any snow and ice, or just see the Atlantic come on back. Otherwise, i think we best start looking at planning a camping\wheeling trip in West Tennessee. I think Nashville is around half way.

 

Picked me up a 3 month old 800ca battery for $50 today off letgo for project reincarnation. That should get the job done... this weekend I plan to get some more progress done on the truck hopefully.

 

Nice score. I think I've heard of Let Go before. Haven't ever tried it.

I can't wait to see the wife's mud truck in person. Should be real cool to see it run at the race.

 

I hope it runs decent, 35s on a 6cly is asking a bit much, but that 208 low range will help. I'll get some passes in and plan on gearing it over the winter.


Today I snagged a 950ca Duralast platinum battery for $60. Hopefully I won't have to jump it everyone I get ready to use it once I get that and some new terminals on it.

 

Got a couple of things done the last few days.

Wes was chomping at the bit to crawl under the Ex. At least that's what he would have me to believe.



Ex getting a TRANSfusion.



Trans Temp Gauge installed...I'm not a big fan of pillar pods, but this one is tucked down low and out of the way. I guess I can live with it.



Be Good!

 

Looks good

 

Josh, looking good. I know it feels good to get color on the body.

Wife was in NY city last weekend so I was fur kid sitting.
I also R&R the garage door opener, the old one would not stop when it closed and the adjustments no longer worked.
Not a fun job by your self but it worked with the 2 car remotes.
The old wall button would not work with the new opener so wired up the new wall switch and temp hung it in the garage.

Got out early from work so figured I would mount the new switch inside above where the old one was. The old button was on the inside wall and wire ran up inside and above the finished garage ceiling.

Figure put a string on 1 end and pull it thru put new wire on string and pull it back thru easy right? Nope a few feet in and the string is not on wire. Pissed off I yank the old wire out as I cant get to it to pull it back where I started.
About 5 min after I get the wire out I start yelling calling ME every name in the book!
Why because I DID NOT NEED TO REMOVE THE OLD WIRE, I COULD HAVE USED IT!


Another day out early and was able to get a new wire run, not easy.
Wife kept telling me "do it another day". Thing is it was cool out side but not so upstairs in the crawl space and would only get hotter when hotter outside and why I had to do it then.


The crawl space upstairs is open rafters, ever try to crawl on rafters? Lucky I had a bunch of 2x6x6 boards I laid out a little help from wife and wire snakes and got it run.

And of course my trucks door button does not work with this new door so had to order a bridge to talk between old truck and new opener.


Because of the door opener no work got done on my project. Maybe tomorrow as no work because of the rain we have had.

Gauge looks good, I like the pillar pods in mine.
Didn't get much done this weekend, more of gathering parts than anything.
