Todays work And today we used the grinder and the flap wheel to make everything pretty I use a fiberglass gorilla hair filler after final grinding then I go over the welds then use the flap wheel to bring it home, it makes for really smooth welded joints and not much of the filler is left...

tough welding two different thicknesses and the tubes had some rusted spots, we will add some weep holes and I welded up the missed spots on the out side tubes and then used the flapp wheel and while I am working this end my son is working at his end, cleaning up and painting

today was diiassemble , sand , weld grind weld grind, tomorrow everything gets cleaned up and fiberglass gets put on the welds to make them look pretty I had to take the tubes off because they had a plastic gasket in side of them, the out side tubes had previously been welded on , I ground off...

well I have been putting this task off too long, some where along the way I realized that i had my facet cube pump installed in the worst off all positions with the inlet on top and the out put on the bottom. the car ran great the pump was very clicky so it was not high on my redo list. But...

you can find the pictures of them for sure (MOSS catalog), they do a pretty good job of showing the illustrations. i dont know if they stock them or not. certainly pictures of the, choke cable, accelerator cables carb linkages, pull starter, heater controls and heater boxes will show the...

thats what we call BINGO and added the welsh plug with some gasket sealant around it and badda bing badda boom and done!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS everyone

and the pressing part a 20 ton press, I used an impact socket to get the depth i needed. then it was cleaning it up dressing/deburring the end of the axle splines and re pressing it in place

next is pulling welch plug i drilled it off center but i should have drilled it in the middle, off center my screw slide hammer didnt work so i mig welded a bolt to it and pulled it off next came measuring the axle to the hub and pressing it out

pulling my sons axle motivated me for todays work, so if we can pull that big ass F250 axle out how hard could it be to R/R my rear wire wheel hub. so the ladies were going to Georgetown to do some shopping and my moment of opportunity was upon me. definitely a fat cat today in the heated...
