thanks

skymangs · 12-17-2021, 10:28 AM

we did the rear shoes and wheel cylinders
Steven cleaned the transmission up
we put the edge guard on the engine cover

skymangs · 12-17-2021, 10:30 AM

we cut out the full length door panels out of waterproof cardboard
And installed the new fuel pump

Looking good. What did you have in mind after you clean up the pipes? I used Rust-Oleum barbecue paint on mine just to try it and I'm pretty happy with how it's holding up. The semi-gloss looks a little nicer than flat black header paint.

skymangs · 12-17-2021, 07:04 PM

Nice, I haven’t planned that far ahead yet

skymangs · 12-18-2021, 12:23 PM

Cleaned up those outer cowls a bit

skymangs · 12-18-2021, 12:25 PM

inished the fuel system , I was sick yesterday, so I didn’t go to work. On Monday I’ll decide if it’s ready for initial start up

dsraven · 12-18-2021, 12:49 PM

a muffler shop I have used before simply uses aluminum spray paint. it stays on and also stays the same color. just don't spill gas on it cause it will come right off.
bbq paint seems the better choice and also comes in a few colors.
keep posting, cool to see the progress pics.

Tempest67 · 12-28-2021, 02:31 PM

that is awful news.

Condolences to the family, he was very knowledgeable and always willing to help/share. I am sure there are many AD trucks back on the road today because of his help.

RIP Skymangs

**8man** · 12-28-2021, 02:47 PM

Thoughts and prayers to his family.

duramax55 · 12-28-2021, 10:56 PM

condolences to you and family

**oldman3** · 12-29-2021, 12:37 AM

Condolences to his family, was a great guy, glad I had the opportunity to meet him...Jim

**joedoh** · 12-29-2021, 01:58 AM

heartbreaking! trucks are steel and glass and rubber, people and friends are what is important. godspeed chris. prayers for his boys.

Father&son56project · 12-29-2021, 09:23 AM

Chris was one of those exceptional people who shared his knowledge, and was always there to help other members out. It’s people like him that turn a technical forum into a community, and his absence will be sorely missed.
