For those of you who follow "The Champ".

Well anyway my wife and I were standing by the truck after just recovering the CMP box from a back yard when along comes the neighbour with a beer in his hand and he stops and looks in the direction of my wife and the truck and says "hey Champ!" "nice box"....now I know the old cauliflower ears aren't as good as they used to be and I still have the occasional ring from too many bells so I says....hurumpf...I beg your pardon....and the neighbour says again hey Champ NICE BOX....Well, I LOOSE IT...I SNAP...I grabs the tin of Coors Light from his hand and I give him a silver bullet to right temple, then a quick flurry to the solar plexis and an old upper cut for good measure...he's layin there with a pull tab sticken out of his forehead and I look down at him.....yaaaaa nice box I says....

Hi Grant....sorry nuthin left...but will keep an ear to the ground for you.

Not a rubic's cube and not too much to do to bring it up to snuff.

I am quite pleased. having done a thorough going over there are only a couple of spots that really need attention. It should be relatively easy to patch and weld. I realize that the wheel wells need attention...interestingly they used the original pieces of the wells to patch and fill in...sooooo with a little bit o grinding and careful cutting I should be able to utilize the original pieces. nuff for now.....

cheers

BTW there are 2 meanings to the previous

Hi Mike

Was your box one of those that were welded end to end to make al arger grain box/trailer....?

Any specualtion as to the intent or origin of that perfectly round hole shown in the picture.

Final question..... I found a source for the 3M BODY PANEL CEMENT/GLUE..... the two tube version with removable tips...... $75....a pair.........BUT... BUT... they want $470 dollars for the special gun to use the twin tub pack......

I don't remember you telling us you parted with that much money for your mixing gun....... enlighten me!!!!

Consider looking at construction supply houses. Similar 2 tube guns are used for dispensing and mixing structural epoxy for anchoring rebar in concrete and crack injection. I don't recall seing such guns at Home Despot or Rona, but CRS or Len Murray might have them

[Mike Timoshyk]

Bob,

Don't believe the guy....I can see 47$ or 74$ but man someone needs attention.

If you want a gun let me know and I will buy one for you here...I will send to you and you can fix me up later.

yes it appears to have been welded at the tail gate....the tail gate attachments for the hinge portion are missing which leads me to believe it was a grain car or some other farm thingy...as for the round hole which no longer exists what it was for is anyones guess....I believe it was protection against worm holes....after all the box is still in this dimension...so it must work. Well I have to go and get some more strawberry Jam for my tin foil hat....those micro waves are everywhere...

Hi Mike

the 3M guys must be nuts.... or did not want to sell to me....and I didn't want to buy from him.... his outfit had been referred to me by a large body shop which uses the stuff. Claims it is so strong that they are not suppose to use it when replacing quarter section as it will reduce the crush-ability of the body panel in subsequent collision.

What brand name was your glue and gun...???? I got to look some more..?
