I think you did okay myself. Cleaning up the Bronco is a good idea. At least your new Deuce didn't require a trip to the jewelry store. Now that would have been a waste of money!

I appreciate the honesty in the previous posts. Almost all Deuces need work and most of us can hardly admit to ourselves how much we've really spent on ours. I've spent TONS of money on mine. Enough to buy a new car cash. We also have to factor in the money spent on tools we didn't have...

There are some interesting comparisons in both our stories. I was an Engineman aboard the USS Coronado for four years. We once spent about six months in drydock so I've experienced a lot of the shipyard thing. It's neat that your Deuce is ex-Navy. I rode in a Navy Deuce in Bremerhaven Germany...

Datsun 1200! Cool! A 510 was the rice burner hot rod. I used to own a 1974 Datsun "Little Hustler" pickup. It would easily haul more weight than my 1980 Dodge 1/2 ton. Real bouncy though. That little 4 banger used to rev like an F1 engine. I bought some flap wheels for my angle grinder from...

That is weird, but I can believe it!

I recently spent a small amount of money on two new wiper blades for my Deuce. The shipping and tax alone cost more than the parts. They more than doubled the final price of the wiper blades. I also ordered two new windshields for my truck. I saved $100 on the total cost of the windows by...
