Yes but it doesn't make any scense... At least it lost me

 

[--weezl--]

[Jay'94]

Making a run down to upper Alabama tomorrow. Mom & Dad been without power since storms hit. got a message yesterday from mom while they were at Dad's daughters taking showers that phones out too. Going to take some stuff down and see how they are.
Be back Monday, hopefully, back at it tuesday.

Hope everything is ok.............let me know if I can help.

family first

this pic will have to do...

 

[Jay'94]

Dad & Mom called, they're getting intermittant power, some kind of electric rotation schedule going on. They are doing alright, so holding off. Knee jerk reaction is to go, but that a lot of times makes things worse. Dad hasn't seen anyone smooping and pooping around, yet, so no need for me to go down and pull guard duty. They'll let me know. Plan to get after B2 this week.

 

[--weezl--]

hope everthing works out well for them! glad to hear they are getting minimal power...

they got a gat? that should solve any problems that should wander to their property

 

[Jay'94]

Finally some progress!!
Spent the day wearing out a grinder. Need to change the brushes in that one. Grinding off frame rivets on: Radius arm bracket, ebrake cable bracket, trans/tcase crossmember brackets, rear shackle brackets, both upper rear shock brackets, rear crossmember. I forgot the camera, so I'll take pics tomorrow and post! Ended up with a pile of scrap. Wanted to get the front of the frame straightened and POR-15 on the frame, didn't happen, hopefully tomorrow!

I don't see my FWs under your truck yet, there smarty pants!

And while we're on that subject, I removed the fuel lines, power steering gear and wiring harness from the frame today!
And got some POR-15 on the frame today!
Got to go to Texas for 2 weeks, be back around the 25th or so, and get back on it. Bike trip!! :icon_hornsup:
If Rick's feeling generous while I'm gone he's going to finish the POR and also get my Radius arms disassembled since some guy named












Railman, hijacked mine! :icon_rofl: :icon_rofl:
Rick;s also got pics of todays progress, he'll post later. For you pic whores.

 

[RangerSVT]

Pics, did someone say pics?? Ok, here's the pics from today...All of them except the 3 of Jay's favorites (you'll know them when you see them!!) were taken by my new photographer and girlfriend, the other 3 of them Jay won't like, but I had the oppurtunity, and I had to, was too damn funny

[--weezl--]

[COPPERHEAD85]

Rockin the big chin whiskers..............

 

[RangerSVT]

Yeah, you know how those ole tymers are
SVT

 

[Jay'94]

I was beginning to think all this frame cleanup and prep was overkill for a dedicated wheeler. But, I'll not have to wonder about rust, once it's all done. If I'm going to keep using POR-15 on projects though, I'm getting a gun to shoot the shit with! Brushing sucks!

 

[railman]

man, the more whiskers Jay gets.....the more he looks like an Ewok :icon_rofl:

[RangerSVT]

That it does, but a $46 a quart, the brush goes a lot farther than spraying :icon_thumby:

Jay, I got an idea for the E-brake cables thanks to the help of Dustin. This setup will be much easier!! Ask me about it when you get back in town :icon_thumby:
