Default magic foo foo dust

I haven't used any of the weldable zinc primers, I'm a Rust Check fan. Hopefully some one with more experience with welding will give you some guidance. Good to hear that you are back working on the truck. Time to put your radio toys away and get back to the real work.

" Heck of a dune buggy". Yes that is going to be cold driving down the road, isn't it!

Had to get the shop emptied out too set up for lunch, with some fellow MV enthusiasts, last Saturday. Had the truck running for the first time in, well decades?

Default keeping up!

Bob

The first sputters were rather undramatic and not preserved for the future. It almost started and almost runs, needs a like work yet. As too keeping up with Phil, I'm not even in the same league.

So, what do you think of this winter S--t. Working in the barn on the 11 cab doors or still in the warm house with the radio?

Default ready for spring!

Have been working away on the cab and engine getting things ready too start the engine up. We tried a start up but things didn't come together well, did a whole bunch of tweaking and set up the muffler. This time things worked much better and the engine runs very nicely, which was a great achievement.
A few pictures, have the windshields in, the dash finished and even got the muffler looking properly mounted. Need some warm dry days for a road test!
