Chevette, 99 to Life, oldman3, SSABMUD, Thank you all. I am really pleased with them.

I finished up the inner wells this morning and started to fix the rust around the windshield. Then got side tracked with getting ready for another bad storm. I had a generator give to me by my father in law 10 years ago and it did not run. So you know waiting to the last minute I decided to work on it. I tore the carb all apart. Had to solder a hole up in the float, cleaned everything up. Then tore the head off of it because of a stuck valve. Freed it up and put it back together. Fabbed up a gas tank out of a gas can. Then made up a adapter to start it with my cordless drill. It was missing all the starting stuff. It is a 5000 watt one and best of all $0. It runs great! I have a new sump pump so we will hopefully good to go. This year we are in better shape than last year for the flood/storm.

Hope it isn't as bad as they are saying, good luck and keep us posted....Jim

xpickup · 11-07-2012, 08:10 AM

Well the truck is gone now. It left on Saturday. There was a show and it was cold out so my buddy and me decided to take that to the show rather than both our trucks. It was on the trailer at the back of the show and it was funny to see the amount of people that checked it out.

Shannon

**oldman3** · 11-07-2012, 10:32 AM

They were checking out your work, because the truck looked so good....Jim

Craftsmanship draws attention. What did you do to protect all that bare metal?

xpickup · 11-07-2012, 11:38 AM

oldman3, Thank you. It was funny how they were drawn to it.

Chevette, Thank you. I did not do anything to it. He is going to epoxy soon, or I hope so.

Rust waits for no-one.

Daze57 · 11-07-2012, 12:55 PM

i believe the other old saying is ''rust never sleeps''

99 to Life · 11-07-2012, 03:48 PM

daze57 How ironic, here is a shirt I did. Gotta love Neil Young for that saying.

Chevette · 11-07-2012, 03:54 PM

"Gotta love Neil Young for that saying". Ironic, you posted that. The wife and I are going to his concert on Nov. 11/12.

99 to Life · 11-07-2012, 05:20 PM

Yeah I passed him up here in pittsburgh, wish I hadn't but tickets were like 70 bucks and I had so much other stuff going on, plus it was on a weekday and I work nonstop. oh the irony in life.

_Ogre · 11-07-2012, 07:19 PM

wow, just went thru this entire thread
awesome fab skills xpickup!

Daze57 · 11-07-2012, 08:20 PM

99 to life

i am a stagehand by trade and have done a few concerts w/ Mr young - i have have said that to him and he just smiled and said ''well at least one of us remembers that''

99 to Life · 11-07-2012, 09:03 PM

sorry for clogging up your thread Shannon. Daze, rust never sleeps was an awesome concert, thats cool you got to get a word in with the man.

doubleb's69 · 12-08-2012, 10:42 AM

I just went through this whole thread and you do killer work. Can't wait to see more.

daverod · 12-08-2012, 11:47 PM

xpickup · 12-09-2012, 02:08 PM

Thank you both. I have not been working on this truck for over a month. Right now I am bagging a 1953 ford f100 pickup. I will post some pictures on my panel build thread.

Now that's a shirt I'd buy

daverod · 12-10-2012, 03:21 PM

shirts are on his web site.

Still lovin this truck for the second time through.

How did you get all that skill? Love how you just make everything you need.

xpickup · 12-10-2012, 04:00 PM

Daverod, thank you. I do not know how I learned to do it. I think that it helps that I work in a machine shop and have worked in a fab shop also. So I think on the fly and just make what I need most times. Even if it is tools or fixtures to make something. I am 38 and have been messing with cars/trucks since I was 16 and I am into more than ever now. Also I have always been willing to try things and most times it had worked out. Glad you like it. I plan to make the under the hood panels on my panel truck when I have time. But have been super busy on other peoples projects. But I am happy that I can finally just drive it
