  1. Paul,,,,,,, it takes lotsa patience especially your final sanding one wrong move and now you’ve got a dip that you hope you spot before you start shooting
  2. I have a high speed grinder with a really course wheel for knocking down high spots and yes i gotta be careful I don’t take down too much
  3. Somebody asked me if he could store a water truck here I told him yes that was fine. I had plenty of room, but I don’t remember who that was. it might’ve been him…. Bob
  4. Yes, that’s him. Thanks for that. I didn’t realize he was so young. I think he suffered a stroke. I think he was a cattle hauler but every time you turn around, it was buying another truck antique and parts. From what I remember, he had a lot of trucks and a lot of parts.
  5. Finally heard from my old childhood pal he has a body shop in Kylesford Tennessee he said they mainly had lotta rain high winds no damage at all
  6. thanks, Paul I’ve mentioned I’m not auto body man professional I’m just pretty good at it, but I haven’t really done anything in 30 years or more so every little bit helps. I’ll be out there in a little while doing some more. Just woke up drinking coffee.
  7. Inless , I’m thinking of somebody else he was always on here with all kinds of information and all kinds of irons in the fire
  8. Thanks, Paul. I’m using 36 right now.
  9. i think this guy died a few years ago...bob
  10. Yes, that’s kind of the plan. I was trying to get this worse. Part over with the rest of the nose is not going to be anywhere near this time-consuming. I have two air Sanders and two electric I think tomorrow I will switch off to a different one now that I have a lot more time. I can go out there every morning.
  11. Excellent thanks for that and yes, now that I think real hard I do remember that LN Ford Ford up there. I actually went in there and inquired about a driving job but they did not need anybody at the time that was around 1979.
  12. That’s really weird. That’s the last thing I would’ve thought you would have said yes definitely from the photograph. It looks real clean. Good luck it sounds like you got it all covered.
  13. Funny how quick these fools can raise millions to push that lying snatch but they can’t feed nation wide hunger But then again, or any of us actually surprised?????
  14. Of course I know I’ve been on a million times I think that’s the way I used to go when I was leaving Nissan’s and headed out towards Brockton Medford and Wareham
  15. lynnway,,,,havent heard that in years,,,i think i was on it,,,,first mack i ever drove R model trash truck...bob
  16. my god,,,this fiberglass is so hard to cut down,,,,i can only sand around a half hour at a time,,,looks slightly better than yesterday,,,but still a while to go...bob
  17. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa the good ole days completely forgot about tiptop bread that just popped up on my head a little while ago but yes, I remember Boyd also wise I don’t think they have either one of them out here. Everything is lays just about every snack. There is was bought by them. Says lays on just about everything here as far as that category goes not sure about sun chips
  18. I think that last one was supposed to go towards the hurricanes. Don’t know how it wound up here…. Bob
  19. I’m sure most of you remember this outfit I almost went to work for them when I was very, very young. I have tried to find pictures of their tankers more than once and I can’t find them anywhere. They had some of the nicest looking rigs on the road maybe some of your other fellas might have photos of them. ….. bob
  20. Hell I never even , heard of that I’ll have to put it on my list and yes, who doesn’t like Jerry Reed speaking of snow one of my favorite old TV shows the naked city crime story filled in the early 60s New York City and it’s always snowing which is kind of interesting usually when they film around New York it’s always a beautiful day and it’s not always like that there
  21. Missed this somehow Tom the way my DM is screaming to the floor 55 but I’m changing the transmission. Hopefully the new one will have taller gears. If not, I just won’t take it out of town.
  22. I’ve ran a lot of sleepers, but never a crawl through that small and yes, I remember when trucks like that where everywhere with that air shield I’m thinking it was a freight hauling outfit with a fleet of them
  23. I think they call that saving our money for a rainy day. We’ve been preaching to it for years…. But here idiots otta be practicing it
  24. hell i completely forgot about this thing,,,terminal manager got two of them,,,make sure everyone got some,,,bob
