Thanx!!! Had axles from my 90 model that were no good, so before I make a run to sell my junk metal, I scarfed this flange...

Yes it is Brotha!

Not a lot happening this week, Supposedly the boy's bud is bringing me Wheel money tomorrow… time will tell...

After some cleaning and rearranging in the shed… I grabbed the spare tire carrier and was going to prep for paint when I realized my crappy weld job on the axle flange, as well as the mess the plasma cutter left, was going to require some attention...

Here's where I ended up, still need to do some weld grinding on the cover (which ended up being a ceiling fan hanger cover) and then paint the whole shebang...

Not much done today, started out pulling carpet outta our closet and putting down some wood laminate flooring… One of the projects my beautiful wife reminded me still needed to be done… I did our bedroom floor back in the spring… After that I did a bit of shed cleaning...

Here's a pic of the next small project…. Not sure if I'll make one of both project trucks, or just the one… Any guesses???

While doing some shed cleaning and re-arranging I also found this…

Grizz1963 · 09-01-2015, 01:59 AM

No idea what your sat two pics will end up becoming, or were before. Suspect the handle is a rare thing?

I also noted....... Over 100k views !!

Not bad for a "Budget Build" read.

Did you see Bomp is almost double the views???
the 2 pics are unrelated to one another and the second pic is not a handle…

Bomp · 09-01-2015, 09:52 AM

Congrats on over 100000.
Oil can opener on the one pic. Those were the days.

It amazes me the changes that subtly take place and drift into the past...

I found this photo on FB and thought, "Cool Idea!"

Took my 2 pistons by a local repair shop, and $1 and a few minutes later I had the Rods and Pins pressed out… Now to visit my friend with the Plasma Cutter to lighten the pistonz…
