Alas the best advice I have ever heard "get two beers and jump" too funny. I'm sure you all know where that came from, other than the Jimmy Kimmel show he just sang it on his late night show.
So good evening to all there, its already 06:50 Thurs AM and not going to work till midnight here.
Later all, remember stay off Craigs-devil-list now interested in a 87 ranger 4x4 460 auto
F150 axles w/lockers and 38's with headers thru the hood.

Good morning Misery, I got the two toning of the 97 Ford road tractor day cab done. Tonight I'll polish it after checking out some vehicles a dealer needs paint work on. This after an eight hour day at my day job.

Beats being unemployed, I have to go overseas for a good paycheck. So talk about no time for truck wrenching/project completion.
Side work is always nice if its CASH, Uncle Sammy gets enough from our 8, IMO. Pieces and parts when I get home are on there way.

If health and major medical insurance weren't so durn expensive, I'd work full time in my shop. As it is, I have to keep a day job just for the insurance. I make way better money in my shop than at work but I have no time to access the internets when I'm at home.

Yep - bad combo there. Looks like he'll need to drop some Dana 60s in there to keep it together. I did read an article in a magazine about a company here in MO that builds Dana 80s. Absolute monster axles...

Lucky for me its already sold, I was looking at getting the 460 for one project and throw a spare 351 in that little ranger and wheel it.
I got 2 sets of front/rear D60's setting around here, just need the time to put one set under ol Red and the other set belongs to Penny's rig.
Her someday 79 F250 frame with 460 auto and a class 2 NHRA certified tube chassis dropped on top and that's it, someday a SMOOR rig?
Oh yea and do some work on ol Blue, my avatar truck.

Happy Friday the 13th. I didn't touch my dentside the last couple of days, this has eaten my evenings up. At least it's a Ford.
Sitting in my driveway Tuesday evening when I got home
This morning, I did the paint Wednesday evening and polished the old paint last night. The white on the tire is polishing compound.
Can I post a pic of the Peterbilt I did this past weekend?

CRAP............... It is Friday the 13th..... I'm stayen home and drinking beer.
Not really anything happening yet. The Cavalier's previous owner had a few things in the truck for the car. One being a new in the box ball joint. Guess I could get off this chair sometime today and get that car in the air and shake down the front suspension. I still needs a couple tires before I take it to get the state inspection done. I do know somebody that will pass it anyway. But it needs a tire to be safe.
Had a gut call on the 88 Ranger yesterday, asked some good questions, not "can I take a look at it sometime" so maybe he has a pulse. Really want it gone. Would help with tire, inspection, tax's etc....
Y'all be carefull.
