OCD asked about 220 plug for a welder. heres a pic of the plug for 220v 30amps.
Damage assesement on my rig was limited to a frozen LH Rear E-BRAKE pivot arm, front diff vent hose slipped off of front diff, a bent eyelet on the trailer hitch, and burnt out headlight bulb.
Did a complete fluid baseline this morning and repaired the e-brake and installed new bulb. SHES'S ready to go again. Amazing a 238000mile vehicle can drive that comfortably at 75-80mph, wheel it hard and drive another 250+miles back home. True testiment to a 80.
As for the projects and repairs for the HAMON, just post up so i can have an idea on the work flow.

cutting wheel to remove portion of my front body mount...then tack weld and hammer bend a new piece of steel to box it in with final welding to seal the deal. primer and paint with rattle can. I will do the cutting...and I already have the steel to use as well unless someone tells me it is too thick...it is the plate stuff you can buy in lengths at tractor supply.

if my swing away carrier comes in we can add it but that is a job I can do alone sometime or with one other person in driveway...dont have to wast a HAMOM to do it really unless we are looking for work. :D

I recommend we start at 9am to get as much done as possible before 1pm...then go to lunch and have meeting over lunch...if DBENKE agrees. Then wrap up what is left afterwards for those that can stay.
 
Let me know the location I would like to come and help out. I should be around that weekend.
 
LexTech Automotive, first drive on right immediately past Hot Wheels on James Island...along the property line actually it appears. THen look for the Land Cruisers on left about 100yds back on left.

Slow down at Signal Point Road...then go past Vet Clinic and Hot Wheels and turn at road with signage with about 10 different businesses listed for a little industrial area.
 
I dont know if you are from James Island but a lot of people like using the Hot Wheels as a land mark on James Island

I will try to attend.
 
no i grew up in Pierpont until 6th grade and then Wadmalaw afterwards....... Only time I went to James Island was for Folly.......Village Inn Pizza....McDonalds.....or looking up some girl I met on beach. LOL Gotta love the 70s :D

I'll get a plug that matches and put it on the extension cord I have for the welder....

I need to fix a brake master leak if possible and adjust/bleed the brakes....

I wanted to swap the springs front to rear but think I'll wait as I want to have them cleaned and redone before reinstallation...

Could possibly look at the diff vent on rear and see why its blowing like a whale at speed.....
 
I may get there a little earlier, maybe 8 or so. I have to be home, cleaned up and in Ridgeville (Lee's house) around 5:30
 
My brake master is leaking between the big nut on end and the cylinder.....should I try to find a new copper gasker or is there another remedy? Its a slow, slow drip but keeps me from getting the brakes bled properly...

OCD when i returned home Sunday in the 80 i noticed that there was oil dripping off of the front axle housing right under the vent opening. Thats when i realized that the vent hose had pulled off. Moral of the story, it may be just as simple as installing a vent hose to the rear axle and extending it up to the underside of the body to eliminate the oil from exiting the axle housing. The later model 40's had a hose installed from the factory but the older ones did not as i don't think they considered that vehicle as a "HIGHWAY DRIVER" when it was produced in that era.

Hammon

Will be workin on BJ myself wish you all well at the hammon. Doc


I am so pissed that I did not have BJ ready for this trip you all enjoyed last week end. :mad: Yeah I know I could have rode up with several of you and I thank you for that,:grinpimp: but I want my rig running and funning, so I will be here most of the time when not working till I get her worthy. :cheers:

As always any and all are welcome at just about any time. Just let me know. Doc:)
 
How about we do a HAMOM on Doc's rig real soon??
JULY or AUG??
 
Theres an Old Established resturant named MOM &POPS with new owners who just droped off some new menus earlier this week. Jenny and I used to eat lunch there before they closed last year. We had lunch there this past week, now under new ownership and the cold sandwiches were very good. Beats Subway and Quizno's hands down. Just what we need on the Island. A real sandwich shop, like the good old days of Sub Station II . If the menu appeals to everyone we can have an order submitted and delivered to the shop or just go there. Not sure if some guys might feel a little grungy after a HAMON to sit down in a resturant to eat.

I'll be submitting a large stock order Monday Morning so if anyone knows of anything specific they may need for the HAMON just let me know over the weekend.

Whatever is cool with me - Calzones rock........
Just wanted to remind everyone, as Brock eluded to above, this is our monthly meeting as well as Hamom.....
If you can't afford an entire day for wrenching at the hamom but want to participate in the lunch meeting
I'd say come early lunchtime as the lunch break will probably schedule around the hamom work....
