Morning! A little frosty but warming up real good today. Should get last of cab rust repair done today.

Oh, and picked up a nice cabinet that housed a late 90’s diagnostic system. Way beyond obsolete.

That pile of junk amounted to $1035.00. I was pleasently suprised. Buddy took me to a different scrap buyer. I gave him 200 for his time, plus that 318 block i had. He was happy. And he had the glass for my Studebaker. Its pretty good too.

Morning! Maybe rain today. Crap. Busy day. Have to load rads and catalytic convertors, to do some cleanup. Giving to a buddy,he has a guy that pays better than the usual scrapper. Will split the booty. Hes building a studebaker as well, had it running and driving a couple weeks ago. Drained the...

Started like nothing happened.

Morning! Warmer today, but rain. Looked outside, and my tarp shed with the white cover has something inside blinking lights. Ya, i bumped the hazard switch when i was dismounting.

So. Kim brought dog down to shop. She ran in circles full out for 1/2 hour. Really needed to brun off some steam. My studebaker buddy quit working on his truck. Filled with water to test drive. Drained it and block froze. 4 cracks. I have a good block, bringing it to him. Here, have this...

Krylon. Used it on Fargo frame, happy with it.

I want to build step boards for the XTerra, like my avalanche has, its easy to get in with the step.

Oh, this morning, avalanche is dead. Needs a boost. Screw it, i will take Fargo. Gas from last fall and cold this morning it wouldnt fire. Did a couple times. I gave up. Screw it, took the XTerra. Never tried to solve either problem. Future Frank problems..

Only been a year of that for me. I have a hard time getting in and out of certain vehicles. Passenger side is worse,have to pull my leg in with my hand.

Brake lines all ran. Fuel filter replaced. Oh, my bad-its not a diesel so its a gas filter. Replaced it anyway. And fixed up the exhaust. So some more scaling and paint frame tomorrow. Then is done. I was accused of lack of knowledge in regards to a “fuel filter” thats when i took the...

Slot a nut. On that note, brake lines didnt want to thread int to some fittings. Slotted a new nut with a hacksaw and chased the threads. Worked awesome.

Morning! Suns out. Snow will disappear today. Not real warm though. Ordered a fuel filter and blower motor, get filter replaced today. And finish the brake line replacement. Exaust to deal with, finish scaling and painting.
