Had to run to the owners friends place to get some big bolts since most places were closed today, quite the lineup
What did you do at work today?
- Thread starter Streetbu
- Start date
"Give me Forty acres and I'll turn this rig around"..................... 7 axles and at least 5 under power while both the front ones do the steering; beast looks like it might be the real life version of something from the Tonka Toys catalogue back when they were made from real steel and could actually be played with.

Last night was fun dragging a full truck and trailer up the hill with a machine to get it out in the rain, snapped the drag hook on the back of the trailer doing so
I read a bunch of documents and sent a bunch of emails.
Now it's Camaro time.
Now it's Camaro time.
Finally had our holiday party after dealing with the weather & guys taking time off. Best unproductive day.
Not on vacation. Hopefully I can wrangle some time off in early June. Just sitting here on the bench, which has its good points; mainly that it keeps me away from being around the local hordes of the unwashed masses in all their contagious glory. "I try to stay away from humanity as much as possible; they're all sick". Plus it gets me out and into the shop to do some remedial welding on those straps. Actually got one completed and test fitted to the point where it is bolted up to the front end fender braces. Yeah, yeah, i know...................peek-tures???
Maybe, still have the bottom/back strap to work on, plus having to search for shorter bracing tubes because the factory ones are meant for a stock O/A length fender and this one came to me minus a few inches of body metal. Have a call out for a thoroughly trashed and bu**ered part of the same vintage and model so that I can use it as a donor and harvest the piece i need to recreate the correct curve and length. My luck that all the replies will be from vendors looking to lose an NOS, still in the box, totally pristine and genuine original part; for which I have absolutlely no use at all. So totally not in the business of hacking up cherry parts; they are too rare and valuable to me to introduce any such items to an engine of dissection in such a rude fashion as I typically employ.
