Yeah well, i didn t want to be a drama queen got the biopsy report yesterday, and they looked great, the margins were great, so that means the cancer was contained within the prostate and no spreading to other organs in the area.
I m a lucky guy. Thanks to all, who sent prayers on my behalf, they worked!
My gleason score is now normal
Sorry for the off topic, guess i just hijacked my own thread but you can avoid this.....just have your psa's checked every three months, simple blood work, ten minutes and you re on your way

OK, back to my build....

Re: PO has me PO'd

I ve been remiss on posting updates, as J pointed out. But, this surgery really kicked my a$$. Just started to feel my self this past week....

I was looking for a coating that would derust metal and be ready for paint, found the product in permatec rust converter. As you can see i did half the leaf spring

Thanks J for getting me off my a$$

Jim,
I took a look at what I had sitting outside and they are all gone. Sorry if I held you up.
Busy as a one arm paper hanger here "finally" so everything is good.

Thanks for the encouragement J, i just keep thinking about the days, weeks, months you spent sanding your truck, only to sweep it up off the shop floor and reapply

Got the bilsteins today, one on, no pics since my battery is dead, soooo you ll just have to take my word for it today. I don t need 20 posts saying this thread is worthless, without pics.LOL

Re: PO has me PO'd

Lots of good progress and hitting a wall always is rough.

Quick question regarding your hubs. The round retainer with the holes did you line up the hole with the nub on the first locking nut?

Thanks.....and yes the slot in the hub has to line up, but you can flip ring 180 to get it to line up better on a tang, so you don t change your torque setting, ok did nt answer question let me think about, my head hurts. Just spent 5 hours on the phone with microsofts head geek

If you look at this image http://thumbs2.ebaystatic.com/d/l225...BM3z1auHcQ.jpg you'll see on the left ring at 12 o'clock is a bump. This bump has to line up with a hole in the middle ring for it to be seated and locked properly.

Re: PO has me PO'd

OK, all the surgeries are done, vascular system was a bit of a problem, had to insert needle, then push a wire through needle to unblock it. Three stints later, and procedure is done. Seems I ve ignored it to long, the price I paid for being a Dad, ya still have to work come Monday morn, no matter what ails ya
100% blockage on right leg, 70% blockage on left leg

Now that I m all fixed up, I can get back to my build.... emergency brake cables first up

Thanks, enjoying your build, very entertaining. Just ordered two new drums from Rock Auto, we ll see how the quality is(raybestis). Now to find some quality high temp. Paint and figure out color. Not sure if color should standout or blend in thru the slots of my wheels... opinions? I ll let the masses rule

progress is just a thought process, with your success and failures we learn what does and doesn t work, so by you attempting something, you speed up our builds by learning what not to do. Keep up the good work, I think youre doing fine on your build

thanks for watching, you guys keep ME going
