F250 Passengers Side Cab Mount
Had to replace the cab mount and rubber on the 1976 F250 I just got a couple months ago. I bought the parts from NPD and they were great to deal with. They sent the parts right out, fast email with tracking and were here when quoted. The cab mount was HUGE, I had to cut lots off it but that just gave me enough extra metal to fix all the smaller holes i had without buying more steel. The cab mount rubbers are all 6 so I will be replacing the others later.
Yippee I love parts boxes.
The mount was friggin' huge.
Just a little rusted out. And this is after I jacked the cab up to get to the bolt.
Looks brandy new, the weld looks like shit but I was almost out of gas and it was spattering so just ignore it. Hahaha

Craigslist Find
Saw this and really liked it. The front end is friggin' cool. It's a 1968 Greeves Ranger 250 only had 2600 miles and they wanted $2200

Cigar Box Guitar
Made another guitar or more like a ukulele. It was a small cigar box so I made the whole thing a little on the small side. It is for a friend of mine and it's the brand he smokes. I didn't do it to hook to an amp because it will most likely be a piece of wall art.

Fixin' Rust
I hate working on cars as you all know and I hate doing body work most of all so guess what I got to do on my Friday off... Yup do body work on a car. My wife's car flunked inspection because of rust in the strut towers. We just got the car and I never looked there or never would have thought to but from now on I will. Anyway I welded the new piece of metal, over my head as I sat on the ground. As I was welding I smelt something burning, I lifted my mask and noticed my crotch was smoking, and not the good kind of smoking... if there is a good kind. After putting out the fire in my pants I laid some Bondo to keep moisture out and sprayed a bed liner coating over the whole thing.
Close call!
Metal in and welded.
Bondo around the edges.
Paint.. Better than new.

Look What I Found
So I brought the Durango to the scrap metal/junk yard yesterday and picked up some cash. On my way out to the front gate my son spots this in the corner. I had to stop and check it out, sweet old Apache Fleetside. In damn nice condition, wish I had the time and money for yet another unfinished project.
