New Project (6 Viewers)

[trainrech]

Cooper, Erik C., and I made a run to Lincoln, NE yesterday to pick-up a '78 40 project truck. Plans will be to keep it pretty much stock, shy of possibly power steering and aftermarket bumpers.

Anyone good at puzzles?

 

[2fpower]

Wow.

Looks like some nice tubs there.

Congratulations on the 1000 piece puzzle.

 

[trainrech]

The tub that is on it now needs replaced or significantly patched from the firewall back. The new tub has a few minor spots that need attention, but basically needs shot and sealed. Going with the mustard yellow.

He didn't mention that it was quite warm while loading!

 

[CrowleyFJ40]

That is one heck of a project, should keep you busy for a week or two at least. LOVE the mustard yellow, great choice.

 

[trainrech]

Can I call my own wrenching weekend? I'll supply beer and food (think pulled pork fresh off the smoker).

 

[2fpower]

Did I hear "Beer"???

Chris looks good. Glade everything went well on your trip.

 

[mwalls54]

Wait there's something missing. whats going to power this thing?

 

[tornadoalleycruiser]

Cooper power!
The rolling chassis had an engine. He's not allowed to do anything with it till Shannon's got her bathroom done.

 

[2fpower]

Speaking of, how is your bathroom coming? You got a hole dug yet?

 

[tornadoalleycruiser]

actually! funny you should ask.. As I was getting ready to hit the garage door frame with the HVLP gun last night the buddies knocked on the garage door.. Long story short.. All the beer Kirk sent is gone, I didn't get the garage door frame painted, recycle bin is full, but Sage is going to come over sat while Jenn's riding and we're cutting and installing his ebrake cable etc.. Weekend off for me, first one in i really can't remember. Jenn gets her horse time, I can make noise. Might even have a gas powered concrete saw making an appearance. I"m hoping to need your assistance after the ashers gig.

Back to Chris's project.. You find your leatherman while unloading that thing? Or did you get it unloaded yet?

 

[trainrech]

Still on the trailer - pulled into the shop. Did find leatherman. Hoping to get it unloaded in the next week or so.

Did find leatherman. Hoping to get it unloaded in the next week or so.

That's one BIG leatherman.

Chris, what did "Dave" say??

 

[trainrech]

Dave said "ok", especially for $500.

 

[tornadoalleycruiser]

Uh.. I said Ok for the price.. and given how many names i was calling him while we were loading it he did pretty darn good!

 

[ebutlerfj40]

Dave said "ok", especially for $500.

I'd say Dave would be proud!! Especially at that price!!

So what barganing technique did you use with Shannon?
Did you agree to finish that project you started at home, or take her on a lavish vacation??
