isn't the centering pin bolted in? could you actually use the bigger pin where a 1/2 one already exists? wouldn't you have to drill each leaf spring?

yea a bigger pin would require drilling the leaf springs and that seems kinda scary and then it wouldn't match the typical car from the era
 
Well the pop is rewetted, Wow if I could only rebored a wife! Do they make rubber.........
 
this is the rear end out of the coronet ....an 8 3/4

the duster is inheriting it because I am still going with a DANA in the coronet..... only problem is I had to relocate the perches inboard 1/2 inch to go from the B-body spring width of 44 inches to the A-body perch width of 43 inches

stayed up all night last night doing this

Damn Lady.. you do nice work..
 
Well rejetting the pop put into the ceiling lights gues they need to be raised! Ben pack your Moob bra!
 
Damn Lady.. you do nice work..

hehe thanks ...

only thing I was worried about is when I welded the pipe nipple section in, I saw some weird smoke come out of the center of the fitting and I am thinking that was smoke from the galvanized part.

I remember in school them saying to not weld on galvanized because it makes a poison gas. I think I grinded all the galvanization off the outside though.

OH NO poison gas !!! I had to open the door right away and ventilate, just in case....there goes my brain cells and probably ovaries too LOL
 
now I need to save for a rainy day and get better gears and a sure grip ....the wagon had 2.76 open in a 741 case ....can you say: equipped for granny

Just don't huff too much galvanized. Stay upwind from the fumes..

Ovaries and brain cell are over rated anyway!

Nah, galvanization is just zinc. They put that in vitamins and it's a necessary nutrient for your body.

Too much, like any metal, is toxic...but a little is not.

No worries, your ovaries and brain cells are safe. :D
 
my wife talks to God.. :oops: that's different.. LOL

He just asks me off the wall things to see were my current state of mind is and test my memory. Once when I first started seeing him I know I scared him. He told me his fear was picking up the paper and seeing me in it. I told him no chance of that doc if I make the news it wont be the local or even the national. It will be world news. His response was that's my greatest fear. I luv screwing with him.

Phosgene gas. Yes it's toxic.

I don't think there was much if any ...I ground off the outside of the fitting pretty good and the inside, couldn't get in there but it was only like 5/8" of each end of the fitting .....

so I doubt there was much and possibly none .....maybe just smoke from the heat.

either way I didn't breathe it and ventilated the place right away
 
A nice Steelhead Trout fillet for dinner tonight. Gently poached and it pairs nicely with my signature alfredo rice Florentine with some warm crusty sourdough bread and butter on the side.

Oh yeah, besides the artwork...I'm a pretty good chef too! :D

Good so the smoke looked like white string.

I don't know about ovaries but it will put a major hurt on your lungs and kidneys in short order.

sea food is one thing people shy away from in my area.

I think we are too far from any real water LOL

that looks like the start of something good though

Zinc Fumes -- A Safety Hazard?

When zinc vapor mixes with the oxygen in the air, it reacts instantly to become zinc oxide. This is the same white powder that you see onsome noses at the beach and the slopes. Zinc oxide is non-toxic and non carcinogenic. Extensive research into the effects of zinc oxide fumes has been done, and although breathing those fumes will cause welders to think that they have the flu in a bad way, there are no long-term health effects. Zinc oxide that is inhaled is simply absorbed and eliminated by the body without complications or chronic effects. Current research on zinc oxide fumes is concentrated in establishing the mechanism by which zinc oxide causes "metal fume fever," how its effects are self-limiting and why zinc oxide fume effects ameliorate after the first day of exposure even though the welder may continue to be exposed to zinc during subsequent days ("Monday-morning fever"). Other research is being done using zinc oxide fumes togetherwith various drugs which results in a synergetic effect for treatment of cancerand AIDS. Another area of research is use of zinc compounds as the active ingredientsin throat lozengers that are recognized as significantly effective in reducingthe duration and intensity of the common cold. Typical “metal fume fever”begins about 4 hours after exposure, and full recovery occurs within 48 hours.The symptoms include fever, chills, thirst, headache and nausea. All of these symptoms, pain and suffering, as well as lost work (and play) time, can be avoided entirely by simply not inhaling the zinc oxide fumes. This can easily be done using any of the methods described later.

Unlike other heavy metals, such as copper, lead and mercury, zinc is an essential micro nutrient. Zinc is essential to the proper growth ofplants and animals. Zinc forms part of the enzyme system that regulates biological processes throughout the body. As shown on any multi-vitamin/mineral bottle, the recommended minimum adult intake is 15 mg/day.
