What did you do with your truck/shop today

[Chris]

I was gonna say. Mine looks new, but it's aluminum.

This was 2008 or early 2009 when i lived in Florida

[Daryl Z71]

Holy crap!

[Jsdirt]

I was always amazed at the vehicles I'd see on the road in Phoenix and SoCal. Stuff that rotted away in the northeast 30-50 years ago, still rolling with the original paint! Amazing how lack of moisture preserves metal.

 

Rubber is another story out that way, however ...

[Roscopcoletrain]

Even worse living next to the ocean here. Salt breeze, just rots everything

[Jsdirt]

Yeah everyone that lives down the Cape has to deal with all that, on top of road salt. If they get 6 rust free years out of cars, they're doing good.

 

 

 

Finally finished the Mustang. Just needs a stepper motor for the speedometer. Modern gauges are absolute garbage these days. I took it apart thinking I could lube it, or clean it - still very difficult to move the needle by hand. Suppose I could swap the volt one with the speedo, just to get them by for now, but that'll probably fail soon too.

 

Sucks trying to upload anything here. I never have any problems with any other forums I'm on. Can't upload anything directly now - have to do it through Photobucket ...

 

Quality is horrendous - the smaller you can make it, the better it will look:

I don't know of any forum that will host a video. And photo bucket kills quality so that's no surprise.

True all around. The best way to maintain quality and be easy is to upload to youtube and embed it here

[Jsdirt]

Thanks, good to know.

 

Used to be able to upload pics here though - now they all fail to upload with no reason given.

size requirements for bandwidth.

[Jsdirt]

Did that just change 2 days ago? That's when I started having problems.

[Chris]

No. We have had the size restrictions for a while

[Jsdirt]

I haven't done anything different size-wise on my end. Even the small cell phone pics won't load. I don't know why that changed suddenly. Oh well.

 

Computers for ya!

 

I appreciate your help, though.

Haven't done anything to mine in the last week or so, but on Wednesday I plan to start working on replacing my torsion bar bushings, adding my leveling kit, and cleaning up/painting my frame from the back of the cab up.

Went wheeling for about 8 hours lots of mud under the truck had a blast

Started the spring detailing since I didn't do it last year (concentrated on the car).

 

Clayed both bed sides polished and sealed. This is what happens with caked up mud when you polish

 

 

Finished
