    Repairing and modifying the radiator for the Dirt cheap Dart found a couple very small leaks.
    Don’t laugh at my make shift pressure tester - OK laugh but it works.

  15. Chandler is ok, nothing got to his inner ear. IMG_9893.jpeg IMG_9894.jpeg At least he was welding on his 51 Ford when it happened. We had to replace the front portion of the frame rails due to rust. He also wanted a Gasser style front bumper on it as we are installing a straight axle kit from Speedway.

    Painted the engine bay of Wifeys TBird. I know it’s supposed to be body color but we still don’t know what color pink the car will be and I want to get the engine in before winter. Plus we ain’t restoring nothing around here… IMG_6090.jpeg IMG_6091.jpeg IMG_6089.jpeg

    And that's why you see welders wearing those stupid looking hats with the bill pulled down over one ear or the other. What size is his headbone? I've probably got half a dozen hats if he's around a 7 1/2.

    My second 63 C10 and the 65 327 I bought from another HAMB member and the Muncie SM330 3sp Standard Trans I bought from a different HAMB member.
    HAMB Members Are Great People...
    Lots of work but very doable in time.

    Sitting on a roof of a friend's Ford having a beer my Canadian friends brought down to Montana for me, waiting on some Lord Fusor to cure....missed real Molson. The shit we get here is good but not the same.

  26. Alan, I’m not sure on size. I’ve never measured, shucks, I’m not even sure how to measure hat size. Thank you for the offer, we looked around here on Saturday, but no stores that were open had any.
