still working on getting the frame prepped... maybe smear some bondo on Saturday... if the hurricane doesn't keep us away from it...

Thats gonna be one fine Hog Roast.

 

John, who cares about the frame, we want to know what mods you going to make to the frame stand. LOL....

 

Heck I want him to get it finished to the point where I am drooling, then cut it up and do it again so I can laugh.

 

John....FYI....I was looking at catalog for POR 15 and saw they now have bondo that can be baked in a oven. It seems like you were talking about powder coating your frame but bondo couldn't take the heat.

Hey Johnny Lightning

Gonna use the ol' hurricane excuse again this year are we? That darned Mother Nature sure slows a guy up don't she?

And not that you asked, but I am taking the truck for a ride today. Afraid the calipers are gonna sieze if I don't.

 

The frame looks as close t finished as Damn i sto swearin'... can you stand the sense of completion?

BTW - do you live beside a park? Nice side yeard there!

Enjoy.

How'd you get the frame to cantilever out like that without the front bending down to the ground? Especially with that massive IFS you cobbled in there. And I thought your frame rotisserie had a stand on both ends. Maybe that's one of those trick photographs, eh?

 

wow how did you attach a photo?

did you make that frame stand yourself? and if so are you going to get rid of it once you get the frame rolling?

 

ND, here are some notes on attaching a photo. If you have any problems, just yell and somebody will help you out.

... As far as attaching a photo, here are some instructions I posted a while ago. I believe they are still valid. You may need to have a certain number of posts before you can set up your gallery and insert pictures. It's been so long since I only had a few posts, I can't remember those details.

================================================== ========
To insert an image, the text in your post has to look like this:

[IMG]URL[/IMG]

The URL has to start with http:// for the FTE server to recognize it. The actual text that goes where the letters URL are above indicates precisely where on the Internet your picture is located.

OK, so now you are saying, how do I get the text that tells the server exactly where my picture is stored? Well, there are several ways to do it, but here is one fairly straightforward way for images in your FTE gallery.

1. Go to your gallery.
2. In your gallery, click on the number 2 below the image you want to include in your post. This will bring up the full size version of the picture on your screen.
3. RIGHT-click anywhere on the picture. A menu will pop up that has several options. Choose the Properties option.
4. Another window will now pop up showing a bunch of properties for the image - including the URL we want. Triple-click on the URL to select the whole thing, or, highlight the whole URL using the normal way you'd highlight any text with your mouse. Press CTRL-C to copy the URL text.
5. Click Cancel (or OK) to close the image properties box.
6. Exit your gallery.
7. Start your post in the normal way (post reply button when you are in a thread, or new topic button from the forum page).
8. Click on the Insert Image button (the mountains).
9. Remember the URL you copied from your gallery using CTRL-C? Well, now press CTRL-V to paste that URL text into the pop-up dialog box.
10. Click OK to exit the pop-up box and you're done.

Print out the instructions above and give it a try. If it works, do it about a dozen times until you can remember it without having to follow the instructions.

By the way, you can use the same method for any image on the Internet. As long as you can see the image full-size (not a little thumbnail version), you can right-click on it to get it's properties, copy the URL as described above, and paste it into the Insert Image dialog box. I find that opening a second browser window allows me to work with image URL's in one while I'm doing my post in the second one. Let us know if this works for you.

 

Well, did the "paint experts" sway you to use a certain type of paint? Grey if I remember correct? Looks good, -4speed

 

John, who cares about the frame, we want to know what mods you going to make to the frame stand. LOL....

let's pimp my rotessirie !!!!!!
plans are for 21" stagecoach wheels
and a nice 18 foot long neon under the middle rail
can't decide on the number of video screens... maybe two on each end
and at least 6 subs along the center
might use that trick cameleon paint and some japanese graphics on the rails
haven't figured out where to put the megaphone to make it really annoying

Well, did the "paint experts" sway you to use a certain type of paint? Grey if I remember correct?

Sherwin Williams Sunfire Urethane in a medium/dark gray metallic..

oh great moderatoress... cantilever is a trick of simple magic... I just will it to do that... actually I washed the complete frame down with a concoction of all the free samples of Mark Martin's sponsors product... "sand HARD"

do you live beside a park? Nice side yard there!

no park... everything on this side of the road is the front yard and in the following shot one side... grass is my master... the area across the road is part of the 4 acres my 70+ year old neighbor owns/cuts (or does it own him)



and just so George doesn't start trying to levitate his frame... you can see the full pig roasting frame...

I was looking at catalog for POR 15 and saw they now have bondo that can be baked in a oven. It seems like you were talking about powder coating your frame but bondo couldn't take the heat.

I studied that hard but none of the 'coaters' could guarantee that it wouldn't pop out... the bondo's heat range is close to the cook temp... I didn't want to take the chance... with bondo and urethane it will look slick enough for me..

did you make that frame stand yourself? and if so are you going to get rid of it once you get the frame rolling?

I did not build it... a good friend, benevolent welder buddy did and GAVE IT TO ME !! so I qualify for the "you suck" award... don't plan on disposing of it but it will be available for locals to use if they need.. it breaks down into a small pile so it won't be hard to store...

later,
john

 

OK John, YOU SUCK!!! It's official now.

 

"It won't be long now"

Isn't that what the cat said when the mower went over its tail?

 

John

Somehow I am confused..... I thought you were futher along than this. I thought I remember reading about an IFS install, Mustang gas tank install, truck moving about the neighborhood on a trailer....must be someone else I was thinking about.

Anyway that frame slow cooker looks really good, and I am sure the truck will look great when it is done.

God Bless
