Afterlude to a Small Regression... Some Forward Steps

Holy... the concave stuff on the hood has even done well with ...
Delays...Gravity has somehow shaped back the butyl-adhesive nightmare of months past from .... sitting off the vehicle...
Amazing.

.... And to Think... my girlfriend never believed me when I said, "Baby, sometimes... *some* problems solve themselves with the passing of Time..."

And it comes to pass that we now have the last item on That List:

5. (DONE) Re-welding the front engine mounts to rail.

Serpentine Belt: ON
AC Pump: ON
Alternator: SECURED
Starter: MOUNTED (again)
Radiator: MOUNTED
Fenders (Temporarily): ON

Small Step for Me....
Big step for RastaRig

Next Stop: the Dash and FireWall....
Oh, right so the wire could be routed to the Fuel ShutOff

I think you need to make a video of this thing starting up and letting all of us hear that turbo spool.
 
Eey Man & Men, Life has been testing the Jojo & ma mettle it tests me & my resolve. More pics to come aan, jez.... IVDUSMC...a movie or two fit for short attention spans (like mine ,man)!

You got it LQ9, ev'ry man need some room to breath...why shod his rig be 'ny diff'rent?

SR102 ~ they comin' ...be patient, know I've heard'ya and I'm not shy about taking pics. No man, no man ....be the rig for sure.

Many moving pieces demanding focus for this guy with too much imagination & still learning 'bout the skills to do it.... rememba... I am a Novice in this World & always a StudANT.

Keeps ma Humble....

Stevo, not soor if I said it, but tanks....

Kief, well said - me finds the man with the courage to forum his faults AS he swaps ALWAYS has my respect oond ma ear, aye? And, it makes for good learning....we awl do well maybe to teach as we learn through our own doom Ignorance. Entertain me, soor, but better to teach me as I am entertained ....
with the antics of a swap that toes a narrow path to its glorious high-aimin' Plan of Restoration....and in the process meanders here and there for fault of focus pulled in creativity's direction...but wanders back, hard and true to it's Course.....and better that regardless of how the Winds of one's Restore may go....you share the Mistakes along the way. How can any of us learn? Nice to see a finished rig. Nice to see how it be got there... ya know?

I'm makin' no Sense Friends.
Haha. So be it.... holy asta crater pipe...
 
& by the wicked winding Way....
should you wonder as you read...know that I am here in my little RastaRig Story to set the lower limit of Proogress as often as not. Let those of you Others set the high oon might Road of consistent weekend Achievement with your Metal bucket that others----like me----can Envy for your organization and execution.

Me? My fits & starts (stops??) ... seem to have found me learning a thing or Two about myself as much as this darn Tub. Not a bad deal I suppose...when the Pipe runs out... oon ya realize it's deep into night & no way...
to back oot.
 
Rasta,

Maaan, I love your posts! They always crack me up. If I wasn't a firefighter, I would be lightin' a big Bob Marley in your honor.

Cheers,
