All is good here. Gonna have disagreements when two guys are building one car. He is very intelligent mechanic but stubborn like his ol' man, I just have my priorities straight and know when to calm it down or walk away. Usually we agree and get a ton of work done, he's the mechanical guy, I'm the weld/fabricator. Built the lower rad cradle yesterday, still no quarters but soon to start photos.

When my Dad was alive I'd say to my son, "My ol' man can kick the **** outta your ol' man". First time he had to think about it. He's a good guy but he still brings his work home and let's a bad day fester inside him, then it will come out like I'm his verbal punching bag but that's ok, better me than his Mom.

 

Iowan.... Was that you that called me earlier today?
Hope you got the attic cleared out?

 

Good Morning Y'all.... Hope you all are doing well?
Mopar on ...

 

Good Morning Y'all...... Hot here in SO-CAL 87* and windy......
Oil Change day for the old 1977 Dodge D150 (Warlock) pick up.....
Hope you have a great day.... What do you have planned to do today?

 

Morning. Glad to see the truck working Bob, Hate pretty boy parking lot trucks.

Well rainy all weekend and pregnant daughter in law dropped off her dog and took my wife to the market. Having a coffee and deciding what to do, was going to pull dandelions but Shawn brought the new Fusion AC Condensor home for the Coronet so I'll probably look at mounting that. Brother in law is at son's house to finish electrical wiring for inspection, hope they don't call for my help as I'm on call now.

Might just play with 3 wet dogs.

 

Nope, don't have your number and I'm still working on it.

 

That sounds like a pick what you want to do day !!!!! I like those...
Have a good one...

 

Oh. Ok. Someone rang me from out that way, in the beautiful state of Iowa, Just thought it might have been you? I think I know who it was. My buddy over in Des Moines, with the bad azz Mustang...
Dang... You must have a lot of stuff up in there.. Well if you find my 427 DOHC or my Ed Pink 426 up there? Let me know, I seemed to have missed placed it...

Have a great day Bud !!!!!

 

Making the most of the weather up here in the mile high city. When life hands you spring snow, make a snow fort.
Hope everyone is making the most of life. Any update from the insurance yet Bob?

 

Hahahahaha.... Thats Cool.....lol
My Brother Down in Colorado Springs only get a dusting... But y'all got a bunch!

Yes, I did hear from them. They made me a offer of 2,600 bucks... I laughed and said your going to have to work on that some!!!!!
I have sent them some more info on what the cars worth is and will see how that turns out. But after this last ditch effort to settle with them, It looks like I'm going to have to Bring in the California States Department of Insurance to investigate the claim.
Sooooooooo, Still in the works.... I'm sure glad this was not my daily driver or I would have been screwed and lost my job, more than likely....
What a racket this insurance stuff is, total Scam and fleecing all of us people.

 

Good Morning Y'all..... hope you have a Blessed day !!!!! Now get out and drive them old Mopars....

 

Hi Bob -- I couldn't reply to Your post, over at FABO, it was locked. -- I'm doing nuttin with the invertor - just thought that it would be handy to have.

 

Cool... I have one.... I run the Christmas lights with it that I outfit my pick up with for that time of season...
Ya, that site is kind of hard for me to use... I follow a lot of people, but it sure is hard to keep track of....
Hope all is well with you guy?

 

Morning. Having coffee, relaxing. Moved duct for son's renovation yesterday, spent the whole day with them then met wifey and the 4 of us had supper. Great day!

I will go back tomorrow early when it stops raining to pump down his A/C Condenser to move it.

Really looking forward to Talladega, starting lineup is F'ed and should be dangerous the first few laps.

 

Good Late Morning, Raining here also... I hope its a good race...

 

Good Morning Y'all.... Going to be a nice warm day here in SO-CAL 83*
Working on re-doing planter boxes at the house here....
Sooooo I'm off to Home Depot in the old Dodge Warlock....
What are you guys working on this weekend?

 

I'm taking my tiger cub to Boy Scout day camp tomorrow, should be fun.

I sinded up to be his den leader, a new experience for me. I'm interested if anyone here has done this before? I'm not sure what to expect.

 

In the shop all day, built a mount on the LA engine for the belt tensioner Magnum serpentine belt drive. Went out to get a new C-25 tank, wife was sewing drapes for the kids baby room. Good day, tired now.

 

Argon??? C-25
Anyway... Sounds like a good day ...

 

Expect to be worn out at the end of the day.... Have fun... You will do great.. Kid will love yah for it....

 

Yes Bob, 25% Argon, 75% CO2. It's said to be a better smoother weld, I only see the difference on 16ga and thinner.

 

Yaaaaa.... Thats the same stuff we use out this way... It's a good all around mix. Our Mig welder (Linde machine) 480 volt.... That son-of-a-gun will weld 1/2" plate all day long.. One bad ****.

So the stuff we get to use are:
Linde Mig Welder VI-252
Miller Syncowave 250DX Tig Welder
Miller Spectrum 2050 Plasma Cutter
Plus all the standard stuff...

 

Hello John Van.... How is the Cuda doing???? Been out this year yet????

If you see (Bill-Mopar tech) around... Give him the finger for me....lol

 

Good Morning Y'all.... It's dam hot here in SO-CAL... 95*....
Oh well off to look at a coolant leak job on a Ford Ranger V-6...

Bob did you ever get paid for the Scamp?

 

Well kind of... The last offer was $2,505.00 on the car. That dose not even cover the Engine I put in it 4 years ago. I had to sit down and write another letter... I still need to get paid for DMV fees and Rental Car pay back.
Still in the working.0
