Or like the curlie-cue on the top of a little debbie's cupcake with tighter circles. Wagging it back and forth gives you penetration on both sides. That is, if you're not entirely missing one side or the other, such as blind old men tend to do. I remember when I butt welded a new trunk pan...

Forgot the ebay link. 1970 Plymouth Road Runner 472 Hemi | eBay

$145k I have a question - if you're going to spend up for that goofy billet steering column/wheel, why wouldn't you spend up for a console? Also, nasty radiator. Modern aluminum unit with an old school spring cap wasn't the cause, but it sticks out.

That has always been my problem. I'll be blind as a bat someday if I live long enough. With both diabetes and cataracts I could use eye transplants. Try more light on the subject. I also would mark the spot with soapstone to make it visible. Those welds look pretty good though at least in...

I saw a 60 minutes or something talking to John Cougar who smokes like ten chimneys. He had a theory that drinking hard liquor and smoking increases your chance of lung cancer. That's something else I never got into - good grief man, of all the tasty drinks in the world someone would choose...

I grew up in a cloud of cigarette smoke. I understand it's a hassle to smoke today. What I don't understand is why people keep doing it. I mean, walk outside in the pouring rain or snow and cold for that? But I'm not addicted so I'm not supposed to understand it.

That monkey never got on my back but my wife is another story and she's still going strong. When it started they were cheap but not now. I'm just glad she works so at least that cost is covered.

It's pretty hard to blow holes in metal that thick but if anyone can do it, it's you :ROFLMAO:

You haven't lived until you've cleaned out a heater box that seems like it spent it's life with a person with a 2-pack a day habit who lived in East Texas. There's a layer of sand/dust on top of a layer of tar. I sprayed it with Mean Green and it beaded up from the tar. I've got about 4 hours...

I don't know if I wrote about my AMD bumper experience where they sent me two bumpers with identical ~1" saw cuts in one edge. According to the person I finally talked to they had to sort through the boxes to find one that wasn't cut like that. I got to keep the two defective ones; sold one...

The bumpers are ready to ship. Shipping to TN wasn't bad IIRC $40 each or something. Straightening and plating is not cheap though. At least I had cores. Those are worth about $500 each. I could've bought AMDs for less if they were available but I know I wouldn't have been all that happy...

I remember plenty of welds that turned out like that. So then I would try to move faster so the bead doesn't heap up, which is never an improvement. The problem isn't that it's piling up, it's that it's not digging in. Then when you grind that, before you get the bead where it needs to be...

I hadn't looked at the big photos - yeah I'd be doing a take 2 all around that frame patch.

Behind the shackle? to grind the weld? LOL no. Not me anyway.

Stuff like that is easier because you don't have to care so much about how it looks in the end.

My wife inherited a 37 Dodge. Neither of us have any interest in it. Can't sell it because it's trapped by landscaping at her Mom's house.

It was a busy day yesterday Gotta clear out more space so I can get it sitting in the middle of the garage.

I don't even want to know how much I've got tied up in it. I paid as much for the car as I did on the One Big Bill that came with paint. o_O I might add it up once it's all said and done. Probably not. On the other hand at my age and pace of work I might not live to see it done :D You, and...

I'm going to pick up leftover parts and pay the final bill Monday, it will be here a day or two later.

I guess neither of those initial auctions worked out because the same guy has listed it again. https://www.ebay.com/itm/187636744371
