Not much help in that dept yet, I don't have any spare Ford parts except a starter solenoid. No extra wheels, or tires etc.

Jim, you really need to just stop by on your way back from Dan's...this way I could load your pickup up with a bunch of stuff...then you too could say..

"I think I have that"

Okay, here's an idea I'm toying with...

If I'm going to come down towing the trailer to pick up the project truck, I might just set the camper on it and bring it down to Jim. (I can't put the camper on the truck and still tow the trailer because of the 2'+ overhang of the camper.)

Take a little work this week to make that happen, I'll see how it goes. Work's been a bit intense lately and I've been getting home later than usual which doesn't leave me much daylight to accomplish anything. I'll see if I can make any progress on it tomorrow...

Just get your butt in gear and get it done.

I actually pulled the front suspension and front clip of the Cougar today...figured somene will need it.

Did I have time to do this? NO

But did I?

YES.

Like Bo and Nike said a few years back...

JUST DO IT!

Jeez, Mike, you make me feel bad. Getting the truck up to Dan's was supposed to be my job.

How is the engine doing?

I too gotta get the "Nike" feeling, and just get to Tims to pick it up. Sent him a PM a week or so back, but haven't heard back from him...maybe he's just off FTE for awhile.

Wow, Dan that would be cool if you could bring the camper down with you That would save me a ton of money in gas. I would of course give you some for your trouble, and gas. If you are able to do that, I would need to know as early as possible, so I can take off from work. There is NO way I would want that camper sitting here by itself. Too many thieves/vandals live in these apartments.

That would also enable me to be able to get the Ranger in March as originally planned too. If you can't bring it down let me know that also, so I don't waste my only day of vacation time I have saved up And I can just plan on going up in March, and move the Ranger date to April 17th.

Mike, I don't have any problems going up there and taking anything off your hands, just would need to find a "space" for it here. Then I could sound like a pck rat and say "Yeah, I have that around here somewhere" be a real FTE addict

Machine shop? Not I. You must have me confused with someone else. I work in a cubicle providing phone support to people who buy expensive computers, and don't know how to operate them.
