Popular Post HeavyGunner Posted December 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2017 Since I bought my Willy’s I have not had a lot of time or somewhere out of the weather to work on it. I get nervous really tearing into something in my yard because I know that simple jobs are always more time consuming than you think. Little gremlins like rusted bolts that break down off and fight you tooth and nail to extract the piece of the parts store sends me home with the right part and only when I tear the rig apart and pull out the broken or worn piece do I find I have the wrong replacement. Keep in mind the closest parts store to me is 42 miles away. There is a parts store here in town but between not honoring lifetime warranties parts and price gouging I swore never to set foot in there again especially after the second time I was refused warranty on a lifetime warranties part. Now to get back on topic last winter I traded some work for the use of some shop space to put new wheel bearings, slave cylinders and a master cylinder on my truck. Figured since it runs the temptation to drive it is great so brakes were on the top of the list. This weekend I got my generic fuse block and wiring harness and I’ve been trading work to use the shop again and am about half way or more through the tedious job of rewiring a vehicle. The cloth wrapped original stuff was brittle and turned to dust when I touched it so it was time for a new wiring harness. Heres the new harness Couple shots of roughing it in I also saw a dinosaur last night 4 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

HeavyGunner Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) I’d like to get my hands on the crew cab fc to add to the collection. The wagon I just picked up has been pretty well cannibalized so I’m thinking of tossing either my 350 or 6.0 liter in it and make it a daily driver that can cruise comfortably down the highway. Who knows for sure. I have 2 or 3 f heads in storage that i could throw in there as well. Time will tell.

HeavyGunner Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 It was the guys grandpas car. Not for sale but he had a boat load of cool stuff. Had an actual 60's Cadillac sheriffs car, dual stacked headlights, black and white with a gold badge on each door. He had a 68 gmc blazer I would've loved to take home as well. He had a really straight Plymouth fury 2 door.
