I don't know if you noticed, but that thing seems a lil rusted & ratty!

We were going in the right direction! First time running in 25+ years. I like to gamble! Don't see anything drastic going on!
Now I need a driveshaft!

 

[dmw56]

Shortened an old driveshaft I had laying around with the correct size yokes. I'll run it like this and see if it needs balanced.?!

I had to change the 2 old coolant hoses for the reverse flow cooling. They looked like they were explode when it got warm.
Rebuilt the Rochester 2 Jet.

 

[dmw56]

Yay! The transmission turns the rear wheels. That's a good sign!

 

[MercuryMac]

Right on, that is a big milestone passed.

Takes me back to the days when there could be something besides an sbc in home built hot rod. High five Don

It's been a month since I worked on anything and posted. May was a crazy busy month for us this year.
We went glamping and fishing for a week up in Chama, NM. Then a week later we went to Barcelona, France and Italy for 2 weeks.
Now I need to work on the truck to get some rest! Probably our last trip to Europe. That 24 hours of traveling is getting more than I want to deal with anyone.

Barcelona

Poor boy! haha

 

[soltz]

Fun trips!!!

 

[earthman]

Have you come back to reality yet Don? We have a truck to build here you know.

 

[dmw56]

Pisa, Florence, Rome

 

[dmw56]

I did put a screen in the Radiator shell. Keep the big stuff out.

 

[bob w]

That screen will keep the roadrunners and antelope out. The A is looking real sharp.

 

[dmw56]

OK! I'm home now.
Major thunder, hail, rail, wind storm on Wednesday here. Lost a bunch of plants, nothing major to the house but the skylights in the shop now have ventilation.
Nothing harmed on the shop just a some wet things. Now I have to deal with insurance and a contractor. I'll never get back to work on the truck.
