Wrenching and metal work day tomorrow
Don't know if anyone is interested. But I'll be working on my cruiser all day tomorrow. Going to be cuting out rust and metal and welding new metal in as well as sanding the body down to be painted. If you interested in coming over to help or learn something just give me a call. 414-0563

Man, I'd love to come help. I'm pretty good with a cutting wheel too. Sorry Marshall, I just can't do it last minute.

This weekend will be another marathon of body work. I've got most of the rear sill made. Have another fender to make and a few other rust spots to be cut out. If anyone wants to come help or learn or want to drink some cool ones around a bunch of cruisers come on. Wrenching starts tomorrow around 9. Will go to about 5-6. Same thing on Sun.
Call before you come as I may be out on a parts run. 414-0563

I've found my new wallpaper for work. I laughed all day at this photo. This was the cuban after he snapped the second lugnut off this side. lol.
Classic Cuban safety.
And another one. See if you can find the safety issue.

Thanks for receiving the wire. I didn't try to come over because I seem to remember this thread saying you were closing shop at five.
I'll call you after work tomorrow to arrange a time for pickup. Twill be after 5:30.

I have two extra 4 speed clutches. They are used but seem to be in good shape. You can put one together with the best parts and have it if it will work for ya.
