Builds Jacks 40 to fake 45 build

[JackA]

I don't need a lesson in firewood in AZ. I will just leave it at that.

 

[JackA]

Started tearing down the doors for rebuild. Couple pounds of red sand in each door. Lots of busted bolts, but doors are solid with only minor surface rust.

You getting firewood to weight the springs down to break them in? I know Maricopa county "NO BURN" days is about 99.9% of the days in a year. Even Flagstaff has no burn days now. Probably head up north and cut some more oak. Coconino National Forest it's $20 four cords of hard wood. Want to burn pine it's $20 for eight cords. What National Forest are you cutting firewood. Don't believe firewood cutting is allowed on State Trust Land?

Come on down to your neighbors here in Texas and I’ll send you home with flat springs and some quality hard live oak. Then, come on up to your neighbors in NM and I’ll send you back with a truckload of aspen to clean your chimney with afterwards.

Just say the word (and help me find my missing bellhousing cover)…

Oak, Ponderosa Pine, Pinion, Juniper and Aspen are all available in Coconino National Forest. While rarer Maple can be found as well.

I answered you PM about the bellhousing cover.

Got the passenger door all disassembled. Now I need to remove all the broken bolts and retap those. Then some clean up, weld up some cracks, and start body work.

Were the cracks in the top of the bottom section where post at the back of the vent slides in?

There and at all the other common spots.....lol

I hacked off the tailpipe a couple weeks ago. Since I removed a mount, I added a hose clamp to temporarily hold the remaining tailpipe. Tonight, I recut the pipe and added the proper hanger. It's not the prettiest thing, but it's functional......and that's all it needs to be.

Both doors are apart with all broken bolts removed and threads cleaned up. Rinsed the rest of the sand out too. Gonna hit it tomorrow and hopefully have these whipped into shape and primed by the end of the day.

 

[JackA]

Goal has been met. Doors are all welded up and I got them as straight as I could. I will do filler tomorrow. Sand and prime over the filler. Then hopefully get them painted too.

 

[JackA]

Just got one door bottom to finish the filler and prime. Everything else is pretty much ready for paint.

Nice work, you really don't mess around.

 

[JackA]

Alittle bit everyday.......got some door bits cleaned and painted. Parts should start arriving soon too.

 

[JackA]

Christmas came early.......got all my door and top parts.

 

[JackA]

Slowly getting the doors assembled. I put the wrong side glass in the passenger door, so I had to redo everything. Live and learn.......
