Yeah, most of us are pretty much the same way

Looks like you’ve got quite a bit of money tied up there most of that stuff looks pretty good… bob

Mine was originally a dump truck. I took the body off a long time ago years and years later I’m sorry I did was supposed to trade for a flatbed the deal went south … kids,,,,,,, don’t know what’s up with that smashing windows that has never been interesting to me at any age

I find alotta black hair on the porch chair I usually sit at … Mrs mower was telling me a while ago it’s probably that black cat sleeping there .. that was before I was aware it was his territory lol does it show up when my dogs are out?

lol we have a big black cat … ( not mine) spends more time in my yard than we do lol

And don’t forget proper spray gun and take your time on preparation. Don’t rush anything.

The correct movement the correct distance paint mixture and there’s a fine line between orange peel and runs usually takes practice bob

Excellent good luck best way to do it as one panel at a time and remove the nose

Man, you guys have been busy looks terrific thanks for all the update photos

Wow, thanks for that. Are those all yours?

Love the photos looks amazing… bob

Welcome aboard . Great purchase have a ball with it… bob

have a ball bud,,,ive had 3 harleys,and many other bikes,,sold the last one to a buddy of mine,7 years ago,,,,lots of fun,,,,are those all yours?????

started on the rearend,,,,gotta pickup a couple things at the hardware store in the morning to continue,,but i did remove the passenger seat,and take off the leaking maxi valve,,,thats enough for today

lol,,,,,looks like beauty and the beast..come on?????????

Well, ain’t that a bitch and I hate spilling oil. My garage is pretty new and the cement floor looks really good. Anytime I spill oil I tried to get it picked up right away. I got a bottle of cement floor cleaner a while back. I have not tried it yet but when I get done with my rear round, I’m going to drive it out of there and see if I can scrub up some of the old oil spots good thing you had floor dry handy

If I were you right now, I would pull out all the fuel injectors and start dousing the cylinders with mystery oil. Let that seep into the piston rings. Even shoot it in there a few times right now while you’re not working on it even if the engine is stuck sometimes if you catch it early on, it’s just the rings rusted to the cylinder walls and it has a turbo charger. Take the inlet oil line off and do the same thing with the bearing. You might have to hand turn the blades but for now shoot a bunch of oil in there preferably mystery or transmission fluid. My turbo was frozen when I first bought my truck, but I was lubing it and turning the blades after a while, it loosened up good luck same thing with your fuel pump. Other guys will probably have a better description of lubricating the pump. Good luck.

Frankly,,,, I think they both have thier own plans

lol…. Paul, where do you really start with them and the older they get the weirder they get I’m thinking this one is leaning towards a split personality OK now nobody knows if I’m talking about the truck or the chick ha ha

It’s easier to change it with a passenger seat removed. I should’ve just left it out when I was doing the valve adjustment but since I’m going to be working on the interior soon, I might as well just leave the damn thing out.

Also gonna pull out the maxi valve that’s been leaking air since I bought it 31 years ago while the rear end is apart I bought the new valve from watts years ago … it’s still in the box I’m embarrassed to say how long I’ve had it lol

man that steering box is (DONE),,,,thank god...only took close to 4 months no leaks,,,starting on rear end in the morning

Haha best of luck.. once you get started on that thing.. you will discover it’s one problem after another.. best of luck and have a ball.. bob

Man, what a hell of a mess sorry to hear that Tom best of luck to him

Thanks for that. It still doesn’t explain why out here and where paying 408 to 469 a gallon except for a pure greed.
