Its a civic holiday here today. Happy Saskatchewan Day to everyone. We're going to butcher more chickens today. Inlaws are coming to help. Yesterday our biggest was 9lb 11oz dressed. The things are darned near turkies!!

We took the cobra for a cruise yesterday, out through Madge Lake/Duck Mountain Provincial Park, into Roblin, MB, then back home.

 

Its Terry Fox day here.

 

Happy Holiday Monday mornin'all. Jordan removed all the bolts holding down the box on the 56. We're going to yank it off, and hide jt some where, where the neighbors won't get offended. The rest of my parts to mount the diff will be in on Wednesday. Hope to have it mocked in place next weekend. Have a great day guy's.

 

Time to take the boat out for a bit then another car show this evening.
Sorry Sherm about pictures from Super Run, I forgot my camera at home.
Good to hear about more progress on your 56 Grant.
Have a great weekend Gerry, TJ and everyone that lurks here.

 

Happy Tuesday morning all. Got the box off the 56, built a stand for it and tucked it behind my motor home. Have a great day guy's

 

Are you keeping the stock rear axle Grant? I believe the one I`m using is from a Granada giving me the same Ford car bolt pattern as the front and I used rear springs from a 75 F100 for a smoother ride.

 

I bought an 8.8 drum brake rear axle out of a 92 Explorer, 3.27 ratio, and using Posies 3'' drop rear springs.

 

That sounds like a good idea, let me know how you like it.
I`m off to the lake, be back later on tomorrow.

 

Nice Gman, well done so far

 

Happy Hump Day mornin'all. Have a great day guy's.

 

Good morning Grant, make any more progress to the 56

 

We started to clean the frame up. I noticed the dr rear frame hoen may be bent due to a collision. It looks very slight, and untill I install the new spring's and diff, I'll measure it up and repair as necessary. The rear shock mount also has to come out due to some butchered welding. I didn't notice any of this before, due to the box being mounted. Oh well, it's all part of the fun. Jordan is very motivated as I am, so we should get a lot done before winter.

 

Nice work Grant. **** on the neighbors...

Won't hold the lack of pics against you Mo... I know what its like.

Gerry how's your shop coming?

Wife and I started assembling our HiQual building last night. Dracula and his gang showed up and hindered major progress... My apologies to the farmers for this request, but a snap freeze over night to kill these damn blood sucking beasts would make me pretty happy!!!

 

Morning All

 

Most of the big stuff is up, now all the finishes begin, its taking too long
