HRH Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Cold?! You're a full 7 degrees warmer over there right now!! :) After all my winterizing in the red truck, my stupid radiator started leaking at the top cap today. Rolled it into the freight bay after work and changed it out. One day I'll have a heated shop, one day. That made for a lot nicer night since otherwise I would have been doing it on the back slab about now. Supposed to hit 11 degrees tonight. Brrr. Have my oil pan heater on, those things definitely help for start up. 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 I have no idea what the temperature was other than fucking cold. I had to have the garage open to keep from fumigating the house, the joys of an attached garage.I had a heater though, to warm up the paint. :lol:I need to gusset that new connection on the cradle and then it just needs paint. Starting to feel like I am getting close to final assembly. B) Quote Link to comment

Setting all kinds of new records for low temps for this time of year this year. We took our niece from Honolulu site seeing in that weather yesterday, she looked like a pop sickle! 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Got the cradle finished up and started to paint it. Bottom coat started to freeze so tomorrow I will finish it up. Got my t-case mostly together and have to grind a spot that's not mentioned in the instructions... Not too many pics. Should be able to get the t-case done and the rear axle together and installed tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Incredible! Thanks :) HEY, I own that same sheet metal brake.!!! :) as always great job mang.!! It works good for small stuff, lol. Thanks Took the day off working on the truck yesterday, the rear tires on my beater were down to the cords and needed replacing. I finally made the last payment on it last month and decided it was time to put some wheels on it that had a better, less expensive tire selection. Ordered them last week and they got installed yesterday. Now I'm gonna have to lower it a bit. :devil: 1 Quote Link to comment
