Yea. @CaptClose would appreciate we thought of him.
But at least RC comes prepared. Hell...I bought a foldable one as I kept borrowing his last year to close and open my tent when it was on my 60
 
Busy disc brake day at the elf barn. @SipLife harvested a 62 axle for his disc brake parts. Got them in the diesel soaker overnight.

Got @cowgirl40’s disc brakes prepped ready for install.

Came up with a game plan for @Cowboy45 ’s transmission cross member. @Cowboy45 played forklift operator with Lonestar.

So did you wait to show @SipLife the video I sent you until after he was done 😆
After. Mushrooming a brass drift is a right of passage. The air hammer with rivet attachment is slick!!!!🤣

curriculum philosophy:

1) school of hard knocks with bruised knuckles first
2) oh...and there is an easier way

Parts soaked overnight. Rub a dub dub. Messy but cleans well.

use above attachment on air gun place on stud where cone washer is. Quick tap. If cone washer is difficult to get out, place nut flush with stud and do a quick tap.

PM me you cell and will send video. Can’t attach for some reason.
 
After grading and hydro seeding, water, grass is growing. Mowed for 2 hours on the rest of the place. Tug of war for time. 😩

@SipLife sold the mustang we worked on together. Sad to see it go. Good project, great many hours working together, spending time together, many four letter words, priceless memories. Went to a young guy. Good home we believe. This will fund college at A&M this fall. Or will it......

@SipLife and @Cowboy45 are getting at it. Lonestar takes shop safety seriously also.
