Field Trip Day

Went to the Museum in Manchester to see the mechanical dinosaur show with my son and about 70 of his second grade buddies. Very loud bunch but they were a lot of fun. Here is a couple of pics of him being eaten and run through by some of the non-mechanical ones.

F350 Floors Started

Started the passengers side floors. This pic is the floors the PO put in it. They were just flat metal welded in and were rusting out.

Cut out the "new" floor and look... there's the old floor they didn't bother cutting out.

So I did it right and cut it out... didn't understand why you would have left them in if they were crap but whatever.

Pic of my little (not so much anymore) helper.

The "correct" floors thanks to NPD. Had to trim about 1/2" off the forward side because it was hitting the ducting and that was it. Perfect fit no complaints at all. I will do some welding today if I have enough gas for the MIG. If not I will cut out the drivers side and wait till I get some cash on Friday.

HBD To Me

Ford F 250

Decided to strip the interior out and redo the floors. I figured I would just do it right and complete it all while I have a running inspected car to drive. I will be cutting out the half ass floor boards/ tin sheets that the PO put in and replacing with the correct ones that will be in later this week. Then I am going to be putting new carpet down too.

Don't Ever Forget

Memorial Day Weekend

The correct way to kick of the 4 day weekend.

1952 John Deere Model M

Helped a buddy out yesterday. He had this for sale on my lawn a year ago. A guy paid him $500 to hold it so he could make payments. He never showed back up and several calls were made with no reply. He relisted it and had someone put a deposit on it but they couldn't get it running. That's where I come in. LOL Cleaned the nasty glass bowl, the copper fuel line that was plugged, and the carb that was packed with shit. He put a new battery in it and nothing...WTF. Pulled the cap and rotor off, cleaned both and the points too and BAM she fired right up. Man I love the sound of these old tractors. Air, Fuel and Spark pretty simple and it should run.

Worked On The F250 Today

                                  
                    Just kidding this was after i did the work. I fixed the other rubber
                    cab mount, leaky master cylinder, turn signal, and something else
                     I have had too much to drink to remember. Hahaha Good times.

Yard Sale Find

Pretty happy about this one. Vintage Miller Lite Open neon sign for the hefty sum of $3. I might sell it or add it to the pool table room. Not sure, I will have to see what I am offered for it.
