Keep at it Jim. It’s all really looking great. As far as walls go, I’m pretty sure we all hit them. I didn’t get much for local visitors while building my Blazer and would have probably thrown in the towel a time or two if not for the encouragement from this great forum.

Anyone need a repop nonac cardboard glovebox? Very good shape, you pay shipping....

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Glad you're back up and around Jim!

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Wait. What?! That's not exactly minor surgery. Hope everything came out ok. Pun somewhat intended.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thanks tully, feels great to be up

Good pun! AJ
Yeah well, i didn t want to be a drama queen:lol: got the biopsy report yesterday, and they looked great, the margins were great, so that means the cancer was contained within the prostate and no spreading to other organs in the area.
I m a lucky guy. Thanks to all, who sent prayers on my behalf, they worked!
My gleason score is now normal
Sorry for the off topic, guess i just hijacked my own thread but you can avoid this.....just have your psa's checked every three months, simple blood work, ten minutes and you re on your way

OK, back to my build....

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I'd say low heat and massage it down, maybe even put it in the oven for a bit to heat through and get the glue loose.

Glad you're doing well buddy, take good care of yourself...we've got a trip to plan, remember?

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thanks for the well wishes, yesterday was a fairly productive day for me, took out the emergency brake pedal. Now I can start my two lever emergency handles. Plans are to hide it in the console

Any one need parts or sub assemblies for the emergency brake

I ll give you a call to BS

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Sounds good, the FJ40 (yeah non chevy thang) is good to go, or we could plan a ride on the bikes ,-)

Re: PO has me PO'd

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I ve been remiss on posting updates, as J pointed out. But, this surgery really kicked my a$$. Just started to feel my self this past week....

I was looking for a coating that would derust metal and be ready for paint, found the product in permatec rust converter. As you can see i did half the leaf spring

Thanks J for getting me off my a$$

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Had a somewhat productive day for me, anyway. Finished up the coating on the pumpkin, stinky stuff, so i can only do small portions at a time, vent hose and clamp, and new bolts for the bilstein 5100s i just ordered, be here thurs.
Just need to find a finish for the axle tubes, i also have to find another vent cap, i remember hearing something go flying when i was cutting the grass a couple years ago, expected it to be a socket one of the boys left out, but instead it was a mangled vent cap. Off to post a WTB
They will have boys of their own one day, and i will just sit around and laugh

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Also installed my NOS flywheel pan i bought off our board, used studs as i m rather attached to them (pun intended) just have to use some goo be gone on the masking tape

Waiting on in line tube to return one section of brake line, they sent it to me with the wrong fitting on it, thought i could just reflare, but no such luck. Broke my flaring mandrel, now i have to somehow replace that as well. Oh well, just another day in the shop, glad to be back!
