What did you do to your pig today?

[Ferntucky]

Yes Sir! Deuces are a lot of fun. I'm going to be putting the 59 Chevy cab on the Deuces frame ( after the SLOW 71 is done. )

Oh good......I was worried you'd be out of projects after the Slow '71 was done

If I actually finish it, hope I still remember what I bought them for. Looks like you guys had a blast.

What are you getting per ton @ $30.

Sorry for the delay. I had clean aluminum, dirty aluminum, lead, copper, and brass. I have given up keeping track of the prices since it all falls in my lap from work. Ended up with around $350. Good day.

got in some goodies today...98% complete kit..sad news is put a huge dent in pig funds for this year ....

 

[dancar]

I'm guessing that your packages came from slo cruisers?

I'll have to start my shopping list and get bits and pieces when I can afford them.

Thanks, dan

 

[scrapdaddy]

Yeah, that's a big hit to the fundage. When you get a chance to play with the mirrors, give us a review. I wouldn't mind having a new set in storage.

@dancar yes from John at Slo cruisers, he said rear cargo window stripping is not avaliable right now. So due to the low demand and avaliablity of these items I bit the bullet and order all pieces he had to make a complete kit. Trust me I didn't want to spend it all at once, as I am not any where close to paint. But when I do get there I did not want to take the chance of not being able to get the weather stripping. ( 5 years from paint ) lol.


@scrapdaddy I looked the mirrors over the seem nice, I have a original set that has seen better days. They seem really nice. I put them next to all my new Toyota lights. I can only dream of the day of paint...

I actually got mine out for a drive! 60+ degrees over the weekend, all the snow is gone.
I went to take her for a drive, and when I started off, I noticed the gas gauge was not showing full. Huh? I guess maybe I did not top her off after my last drive, don't remember.
So I turned around and went back to tank her up. Pig would only take a gallon. Huh? So I drive her down to Denver and think my gas gauge must be messed up.
When I get there I tank her up and she takes 12 gallons. Wow... Drive back up home and go to tank her up and she won't take any fuel.
Did I mention it was really windy? I guess gas pumps have trouble with windy conditions when the nozzle is not enclosed like new cars.

Oh wow! Never would have thought that that would be a restricted activity. Was the concern over the light, fumes, or? @bobm

Platinum cois in head.

This is so cool Ige!!! Sepercharged 1FZ???

 

[tatat]

changed the thermostat with a OEM one. Not cheap.
The temp gauge increased a little, checked temp on sender unit housing, 72°C 161 F, on the radiator 77°C 170 F.
still low. Any advice? Is it normal temp for road driving with outside temp 8°C 46° F

you paying for the supercharger?

 

[abqcruiser]

Charged the a/c system yesterday. Blows nice and cold. Took the pig out for a run today and broke the speedo cable.
And for good measure, re-torqued the lug nuts.

I am not sure what normal operating temp is, you are running a 2F, yes?
