Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.

Re: PO has me PO'd

I spent WAY more on fittings and braided hoses than I anticipated.

Re: PO has me PO'd

I spent a lot of time when I was in high school using a Bridge Port Mill. Made a lot of cool stuff out of chunks of Aluminum/Brass that we had cast with our forge in school as well as some really awesome wood boxes. This was in the late 90's. Sad that most kids in high school will never know the joy(pain in the rear) controlling three dimensions by hand. Computers do it now and will even rotate the piece for you.


People only see the finished job not the work that we have put in to build and recreate these "projects" we have.

Similar to you I own a 1905 Farm House. The only original plaster that is left is a 3 foot by 3 foot chunk that I just couldn't bring my self to tear down. It is covered by Quarter Sawn White Oak so I left it. Otherwise the entire house has been massaged and updated. No one understood the process and the total Love(hate) i have with the house now.

Thank you for sharing all you do with the community!

Sorry I am posting about a few pages ago about 106 to 108 maybe...

funny, I started out in HS in machine shop, went on to the first Tech center in our area, then got a job in tool and die shop, then a speed shop, all related to my Bridgeport knowledge

My sons were all taught manual before they went on to CNC

Damn!!! Just spilled my first cup of coffee all over my interior, what a mess to start my day

You've given me the incentive to get back on my rear mount of my rocker box area, I had forgotten about using templates for that area, but I may call Wes and order them up

Re: PO has me PO'd

I really thought about it. I had them in a cart and everything from Wes. He has a lot of cool parts.

Just the thought of the fight that it would start when the CC bill shows up this month. I do have to say though, Last year at this time for Christmas my wife surprised me with the title to the Jimmy.

I had the guys number in my phone for the Jimmy and she called and bought it for me... So there is that... She thought it ran and drove, and was really kinda upset that it didn't.

Have a great day!

She really sounds like a keeper, great part about that present is, you get to work on it, and she can't complain to much, since she bought it.....

Re: PO has me PO'd

All the parts came in from unity, switch bezel, pillar mount (202), not received the actual switch itself...

somehow, I have to rotate the mounting plate for the adaptor

Re: PO has me PO'd

Hey Jim,

I stop by frequently to check on progress here.. . Seems like you have things well in hand, so I usually just keep quiet and enjoy the pics.

Kurt is around, seems like he is busy with his new business venture and spending time skiing with his kids....

Greg, well in had is a matter of opinion lol, there are days I start to look at the whole project and become overwhelmed by the scope of things left unfinished

Greg, could you contact Kurt and let him know I lost my phone and his phone number, will be in touch after my son sends me his I phone and learn how to use it... Thanks

Thanks for posting up, feel like I'm talking to myself sometimes

Yeah, Zicc it is a hoot to go 85 MPH across a frozen lake with the wind blowing you sideways, trails are a different story, up and down, right and left, sorta like driving a sports car on back country roads, only a much shorter sports car lol. My body ached for 5 days after

Wish we got the snow fall down here like the Adirondacks, something like 4 feet of base

we do police ourselves on the drinking, but at the cabin its a different story

Thanks for checking up with me, I'll try to move forward

Great job on painting your frame, that is slick zicc

Looks good Jim hopefully those hoses don't get to much in the way of getting the filter off. Cant wait to see how that hood works out.

Thanks Bud for checking out my build, hope I haven't bored you to death, I know it's a long read

Looks like enough clearance, and the hoses now enter through the front of the engine, keeping them away from the exhaust, as much as possible

don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight, as the hoods been a month and a half process
