Yeah, the old OX is just a puller. Every time I back into this darn wooded driveway here in the UP I scratch the OX up some more. Oh well, just some more battle scares, lol.


First time in ten years I have internet up here. Finally found a spot to shoot thru the trees and get online! When I pull out of here I'll stop and carefully mark the spot where the tires are so next time I'll be online, unless the trees grow up in this spot.

 

noooooo not tearing up the OX!!!!

 

ohhhh, just little scratches lol.

 

A lil simple green, scrub brush and a spray bottle..bam that nasty grime came off. All the seam sealer is removed inside and out of the coul. Tomorrow night i guess i will get under and start cleaning for paint.

 

 

Looking great, Aaron.

I actually like the mirrors. Do they have integrated heat and turn signals? That'd be pretty pimp and since we all know you're the pimp daddy, it just makes sense. Keep up the good work, you're making good progress.

 

No heat :-( I went cheap lol. Signals yes but the marker and signal are together. I'm going to separate the two so I can get my little trucker light thing going on. I have been working on him . I got a ton of suspension and frame parts clean so hopefully they will get painted and hung soon. I'm at an impass tho on the cab at the moment. I was going to go cheap on underside paint. I have reconsidered and am saving up for good correct color automotive paint. I can't stand the thought of cheap paint peeling down the line and getting to do this over. Hopefully I will get the drivers mirror hung soon. The frame should come together fairly quickly then I suppose its axle time.

 

Keep it up, buddy! That's going to be one sharp ride.

 

I sure hope.

Fuel lines,pump,switcher valve cleaned and installed.
Heat shields all shiney and clean n stuff
Lots of cleaning done and yet more plus sanding and painting to come.
Starred cleaning bolts and steering box clean.
Hopefully tomorrow some things will get painted . Im bummed i didnt get to the paint store to get the reducer for the black single stage im going to do most of the small parts in. Guess if i get everyrhing sanded and ready for paint monday ill get that done.

 

My head is spinning.

 

Looks good, I hope it runs as good as it going to look. Will be a really nice ride for sure.

 

Its always run well lol after a trip to leadhill arkansas all my boxes will be checked but one....that's next year....

 

why that buddy?

 

Looking good. Aaron
Before you know it
It will be done and running

 

haha, I was just joking about how much you got going on in that 'project'! You got it under control but if it was me I would have a 'spinning head', lol. You know, what should I do next, should I do that first or this first, etc.
