Morning! Weather dog says its raining. Shop is dry. So thats where i will be.

Wife?

Cab on its back after scraping off the undercoating inside the back wall. Roof took maybe 5 minutes. So set up and do a couple small panels and then seam seal. Three tubes should do it. Thought i took a photo, aparrently not.

Almost done with my undercoating abatement.

Had to stop for a coffee. Both feet were numb. Or numb-er than usual. 1/2 way across back of cab, the asphalt is coming off pretty easy. Torch and a scraper. And i see Fred’s rain showed up in the last 10 minutes. Why couldnt he keep it there?? I think my goal may be achievable, getting cab...

I saw a sbc wear a hole in the timing cover. And an oem mopar or 3 with all the plastic gone off the top sprocket.

Im finding working overhead isnt as easy as it was a few years ago. But its something i did forever,so shoulders are a little stronger than your average bear. Always wanted a drum kit,but i ain’t got no rhythm

Buddy’s old neighbour is a drummer. This is one he practiced often. Was nice listening to him rock out in the evenings. Cops show up at buddy’s place, asked if it bothered him being the closest neighbour. Nope. So the noise complaint was ignored. Jojo plays in a Bar in Mexico during the winter...

morning! Windy. Moved my small tarp shed. I should think about anchoring it. Think i even made a driver that fits a big ratchet. Btw, 1” square tubing fits a 3/4” ratchet. Undercoating day today. Only takes a little heat and it scrapes off easy. Back wall and some on underside. The stuff on...

Anytime Fred.

You are always welcome

Back from the city. Lawyers office right on the corner of portage and main. And google maps was being a pos. Got a few things from canadas version of harbour freight, one being a vise brake. I borrowed one, and decided i need my own. Handy and quick.

I have been putting it off….im only grinding the welds that are visible.

Got interior bits removed, just column and hvac to yank. Should have cab interior cleaned up by end of day tomorrow.

Guess majority of cab patches are done. Next is clean up. I used a full bottle of welding gas so far.typically one a year, this has been less than 2 months i think. So now in clean up mode. Get ready to seam seal and paint.

Sorry to hear, Mike. Its never easy. Seems to be a lot of this going around.

Oh, so much backreading, or catching up. Morning! Car club Brekkie this morning. And a trip to Winnipeg to see the lawyer. Start signing papers for sale of our acreage. Got more patching done yesterday, and got 3 cars registered in the collector car program. Thats lower insurance, and a...

One is bad enough, those batteries are never a 1 man job.

I like krylon satin black. Did engine bay in Dennis’s firebird, cut it 50/50 with acetone and sprayed

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.

Morning! A little chilly. Warming up into the teens. Will be a glorious day of needle scaling the frame. A good day to embrace the suck. Maybe get started with paint. I hope. Think i will roll out soon.

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..
