Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

Friday morning on the way to work I collected a new bottle of 5% Argon/CO2 mix gas for the welder.



Late afternoon on the way home, I popped into my favourite Turkish butcher for some T-Bone steaks kebabs and smoked sausages.



Saturday morning I did lots of yard work, till 12.30 then showered and went over to Joy’s place.

She offered to drive......

What a pleasure.

She knows all the back roads and short cuts.



First stop was Tool Station to get a spare (no 3) angle grinder.

£27.00 for 750 watt.



After this we went shopping, then walked up to the poor side of town, and both had a Turkish mixed grill and a coffee.

Rather good, leaving us stuffed.

Then back to her place to walk Wyzz.

I went home by 10.00 pm as I was knackered.

Awake at 04.00 on Sunday after 5hrs sleep was not ideal

Then off to Bootfairs by 06.15




Bought for £1.00 this collection box was last used in 1931.





Couple of Tiki salt n pepper shakers for MrTiki.




£2.00 coin, bought with another medallion. Wonder if it is still legal tender.




Then homeward as I was expecting the MoJo Crew of JohnnyBravo, Samta22 and CraigRK.

Craig was here by 09.00offloading plastic pallets and the MoJo Twins parked up just before 10.00 am.

Coffee, biccies and a good hour long chat, strategising and planning ensued.

Then the slow walk to the garage.


It was on.


18 months since Craig and I rebuilt the brakes on the truck,on the 19th December 2016

Crazy, yes.
