ABodyBetty's new baby comes home!!!

-
Couldn't wait!

Picked up head, also find out they no longer take my carbs and send to Chicago for rebuild. Now I got to track that Co. in Chicago and get my own account started. I have no clue how else to get it there and they do such a superb job! Almost always just plug and play no adjust when they return to me for install! They reshaft, new floats, bench test, the works! Used to cost me bout 135.00
Now at the last min. they decide to do it for $40.00 deposit for shipping but they used to take core, ship, receive, call me get paid 150 or less depending, NO DEPOSIT!
I told them to gather up the 500 50 sheet scratch pads they use all the time, I gave them for free with my name on em, and give em back to me because I did not want to endorse their shop anylonger!

I would like to have a moment of silenence to remember or country the way it used to be, because a bunch of greedy micro manageing bean counters are callin the shots and that Dude is givin back my free scratch pads so I can take em down the street to my NAPA 1 mile from my house! He's been stocking Dart Parts now on shelf and had a voltage regulator at $15.95 not $25.95!!! GIVE ME MY DAM PADS!!

Better now! Took head to a friend of mine named "FATHEAD" he's a bus mechanic. He asked why there were no mechanics at the mechanics shop! (machine shop)!!

I left, had shtuff to do said bill me & keep it.

He just called and said done, already ran a tap...wait he just pulled up?!??!....................

.................Sorry, he just pulled up and delivered the head!!! Ready for install!! I gave him 40 and thanks. He said half was on credit for the next time.
Now thats the way it's supposed to be done and USED to be done this way!!:cheers:
 
Not much yet but I feel a Fern rush comming on for tomorrow! Dirty White Boy (Fathead) delivered the head so we'll have to order a head gasket.

Been kinda busy with CAR HUNT! FABOZENE lately. Another thread I started for the trials and tribulations of not buying Darts due to second driver or ride to car shortage and always gone by the time we get there!
So we are truck hunting too!

Anyway 3.31.10 is "FERN" day. It will be mainly body work and by Easter Sunday I hope to reinstall Head too!

Weather will be 70 here on the 31st so it's time for me, FERN and FABO to spend some time together again!

Meet ya back here tomorrow night for the update and pics of body work progress!

Have a good one!8)
 
Head Gasket will be in this morning. DWB and me are heading up to put a power steering hose on a car hauler I hope to buy today. If it runs out ok we'll bring it home for new FABO car transporter! LOL!!
Anyway if DWB stays he'll install head today too. If not he'll be back soon to help me. It all depends on how fast we can get the car hauler home. The owner won't let us get to it untill 11 AM! Jezzz, most of the day gone by then!!8)
 
just found this thread and I like it alot, keep it up.

Glad to have you here M.D.M.!!8)


Hey FABO!
Got FOTO the car hauler to a point of slowdown.
Now it's time for Fern again.

Just checking in. Have done some more work. Only difference is back rear 1/4 is in one color primer now! Could post pics but not very exciting changes at the moment, you all know how slow sanding can go!! LOL!

Have been bustin on other projects for upcomming Sat. show. Check CAR HUNT! thread in mopar discussions and Dash Pad thread in body interior section. Pretty cool stuff!
Taking BOF and FOTO to show, ABB can't attend. Fern and ABB will attend our local home town show here in July and it will be Fern's first show!

Will be getting and hanging different drivers fender today and hopefully head install if help ever shows up. Fern is 3rd in priority line up till this comming Sunday. Good news is, she's VERY much in the way of everything and constantly reminding me of her current condition. I always show her a picture of her after working her rust holes the first day, then she shuts right up!! LMBO!!!:toothy10:

ABB has been reminding me lately how much SHE likes Fern and wants to start driving her again so we can restore the 69! Whooo Boy do I have to get going on the work today!!

Well maybe nobody even checks this thread anymore anyway...
whoknows:dontknow:

Have a great day today FABO!!!:cheers: I will!!:-D
