Re: Project Blue Goose

I placed an order with PB for a bent track bar. I also located some NOS parts for my SM420 transmission. I needed a new 3rd gear and I found one local

Re: Project Blue Goose

I got my new bent PB track bar and it looks like it will clear the Moser cover so off to P.C. this week.

I had to rearrange my garage also, I put the frame on some cheap HF moving dollies and it works out good.

It's probably 10 years old and IMO was the best box on the market. Yes I felt it was better than Snap-on and still do

I'll have to post some more pics. I made a side holder for my pry bars and larger screw drivers. The tool rep. really liked the idea and took pics for Matco.

Re: Project Blue Goose

Here goes more pics since you guys are enjoying it so much ......

I made the holders for the air tools, spray cans, and pry bars. I haven't used many of the tools since I switched jobs but most come in handy

Re: Project Blue Goose

Thanks for the extra pictures. I can't wait till the day I have an organized well made toolbox. I'd really like to have a nice selection of pry bars like you have too. One thing is certain, you can never have too many tools.

Re: Project Blue Goose

Congrats! Looks like a keeper! Any updates or progress on the truck? Obviously you've been busy recently with something else!

Hey Slick, Thanks for the comments I'm grateful that I have 3 healthy children.

I haven't done much on the truck. I was hoping to get the brake lines ran but life got in the way once again. This truck hasn't been top priority for a long time. A lot of things have changed and are still changing, mostly for the better.

We are trying to close on a 4br house currently that has a 2 car garage but my wife is going to be parking on the one side. I'll post any progress on the truck.
