I have been working hard. I am feeling a great sense of accomplishment. I have not got to work on the truck today. I will be working late tonight. I want to get some work done on the inside.

How great to work with Dad

Congrats on a great job. I remember when my dad and I would work together on house projects. There was no better feeling then to work with him.

OK, I missed something here....

where's the link to the video?? I went back and reread this thread and I can't find it (but I do suffer from rectal/cranial inversion and might not have seen it)

Good job Kevin. What a Rush. Never forget it as the first one is the best. It's like a Drug. I don't see a video either. Good luck at the Nats. And I think crimping off the leaking rad core tube is better than any band-aid sealant. Solder it and do it right.
