    As long as it's an inch forward that's progress ! I just hate it when you thought you finished a project and then found out you did something wrong or left something out ! That is a step backwards ! I'll take the inch forward any day !

    Well in my case my father died 21 years ago. He was 77. So when my older brother called me an old fart that hurt ! Of course I had just called him an "old decrepit fossil ! "

    I haven't been complimented on my fare complexion for some time now ! Actually I wear Nitrile gloves religiously whenever I'm working on dirty vehicles and using cleaning solvents. Have for over 30 years ever since this old fart ( I like that me calling someone an old fart ! ) told me to protect...

    Actually I do have a story about drilling the frames on the IHC "Sliders". A slider is basically a frame with a cab on it and a steering axle up front. The customer selects the engine and transmission and the differential or differentials . The shop would then assembly this for the customer...

    Sorry I'm on late tonight. To answer the bolt question, grade 8 is what you "must" use for vehicle frames. In fact the correct bolt to use on frames is a Grade 8 Fine Thread "Flange" bolt with grade 8 "Flanged Stover" nuts. The torque on this 5/8" bolt would be 180 ft Ibs. If you used a course...

    I did but I had new lenses put in several years ago so it's OK now. Actually my screenname comes from a group I belonged to in the 1980's . We called ourselves the Rustystuds since we where all "Studs" and loved rusty old vehicles which also have lots of rustystuds ! We even had hats and shirts...

    That reminds me of when I was working at the Metal Fabrication Shop. I was drilling hundreds of holes and getting bored and careless when one of the "curly cues" from the drilling got flung up into my eye ! It literally drilled itself into my eye since it was spinning. One of the other...

    My Mag-Drill is the older Milwaukee and weighs in at over 30Ibs ! Now that I'm all old and decriped I can barely hold it in place to align it ! I need one of the small newer models. Of course now I cannot afford it !

    I know ! Ain't it great !!! My wife has a fit when I bring the Ding-Dongs and Ho-Ho's though. She keeps saying I'm going to die from a heart-attack from all the junk food and then who's going to take care of her and the boy ! Of course that doesn't stop her from stealing and eating my stash !

    Well that's just common sense. Road trips are suppose to have "good" junk food ! I've always been found of "Hostess" products like chocolate "Ding-Dongs" and "Ho-Ho's" :drool: !!!
