Wow, I just found your thread, I can't believe I haven't seen it before now. There's soooo much to learn around here.

Good looking work!!!

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I'm glad to see the thread going again. I had to stop working on mine for all this time as well. I guess it's time to go back to work.:)

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Thanks, it's always nice to have someone enjoy what I do.There's times when I think it looks like crap, but then again I'm extremely anal:lol:

Glad you found it, still alot todo, so you can read on... J.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

You and I could have a race to see who gets it done the slowest;)
Rusty Parts may be in the running, but I think he gets his work done in the summer

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I'll bet I win...whatever that means?:confused:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

OK, I'll bet 10 American, I have some old trophies around somewhere. We could pass it around the site to whoever has a build slower than usLOL

Aleast we'll never get truck of the month, it has to be running

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Sounds good to me...game on!

The war department (wife) has honey-dooed me to death this summer. I'll have to fire up the shop heater this winter. At my age I may never see the finished product.:lol: Let the games begin.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Consider it like this...

You guys aren't slow, your just thorough. :cool:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

did you put new torsion(or rocker ?) boxes in under your new floor?

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

No torsion boxes, I plan to make 4 sheet metal trusses in that area and tie 'em to the body. Then have adjustable rub blocks against the frame. Cover the trusses with a removable skid plate... J.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Good choice of words, your not in public office are u?:lol:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

So your last pics. are about where your at? If that is the case, I may have to pay up.... J

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

The Jimmy hasn't been touched since the beginning of May.:(

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Well then, it sounds like a level playing field with Chevyman playing kechup

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Uh oh...I'd better get busy!!

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Finally got around to some more work on the Jimmy. While working on and modifying the exhaust system, I noticed a leaky X case. Sure was nice to find shiny metal. Dropped this one down, with plans to put my extra case in, since it is already degreased and painted.

Now with that out of the way, I can finish all my welding on the bottom side, then get back to the exhaust system. Thanks to 6t727t2 I found an intermediate hanger for the pass. side. A little modification on both hangers and I should be good to go

Here's some pics...

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Nice progress...but it looks bad for me. Life has been a little crazy lately but I did find 2 guys locally that are into these trucks and have parts.
Keep up the good work. :cool:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Pffft. Send me the trophy and save the embarassment. I'm at the 5 year mark and now I'm in Japan for 2 more...Thats 7 til its done!!! :whine:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Whew! That takes some of the pressure off of me for a while.

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Well I'm at 6 years, but I can slow down alittle for you to catch up. I'm still designing the trophy, but it sounds like I may want to include a Japanese theme:lol:

Anything you need over there, besides your truck. Just ask!

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

I sure would have liked to ship the Blazer over here. It just wasn't quite ready to be on the road. Could have gotten it done over here though. I have the time. Anyway, keep cooking on it, you'll be done before me either way!:metal:

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Didn't do much today, just trying to get the frame cleaned up since the transfer case is out of the way...

What's it like over there, never been to Japan?Did you get to take the Mrs. with you?

Re: PO has me PO'd
 

Its not too bad. Sasebo is a small town with a decent shipyard. The Mrs sent me by myself, the whole I have a career thing. She originally was going to go, but once she became the boss at work, all bets were off. If you go to Yokosuka, its much bigger and much busier. Its right in Tokyo, so no wonder. But down here, its nice and quiet. Would have been fun having the Blazer here too as most of the roads would only qualify as back alleys in the states.
