Conversion 4BT

[jgillott]

That's usually the result I get. About a year ago I found an USPS RHD jeep. If I had the $$ I'd be in trouble.

What they don't get is, it isn't the product, it's the process. I have a lot of toys, but no projects right now.

Since it is such a nice day, I may have to take my Corvette out for a little exercise. She doesn't need to know where I'm gong.

Yes. Idle mind is dangerous. I'm sure that's what ails BIG right now.

Wayne your right im stuck inside the house (right now its not a bad thing its VERY COLD OUTSIDE) I cant go to the barn without supervision if I stumble into the wrong thing out there I would have to go BACK to the hospital, many sharp tools out there. I have played my guitar until my finger tips are just about to bleed and I practice at least an hour a day for as long as I can remember. Lucky for me my leg is in and in the AM the work begins I HOPE.

We all suffer from the same problem, I can't stand not doing something productive.

Good to here that the leg is in. That ought to make you feel a lot better... ...

 

[Wayne M.]

Yes!! Now go have a fit. You know what I mean. Lol. Good thing you don't own a Honda fit.

Yes it is a good thing its in and waiting. I went to the hospital the other day and stopped by the rehab center just to see what its like. Im glad that they have rubber floor mats and the walls are padded. The physical therapist came over and we talked she knows what im in for, its not a new thing, but falling down a BUNCH is in the works. I cant go around walking with my arms out to my side like im balancing on a wire so catching yourself when falling is pretty much not going to happen. FACE PLANTS are pretty much the norm in rehab. So feeling better??????? look at it one way and YA!!!! look at it another and I DONT KNOW??? Wife and Daughter said I have a hard head so it wont damage the building to much.

I have seen that one before in one of my Diesel Power mags. That is kind of what I thought about with the picture from one of the post #30 above. Its a 1950 chevy it would be fun to have a Diesel powered truck rod in town. Out here if it's not got a purpose its not done. At 59 having a Hot Rod Diesel Truck in our town I would be an OUTLAW!!!

That's with street rubber out back. It looks like it short timed well, but there's usually a few tenths in a set of slicks... Nice, real nice...

There's the same truck done the same style- but ratted out near me. Matte black n all with mitered stacks and a 7. 3 'stroke.
