Wondering if any of the Atlanta HAMB crew has a cordless sawzall they could loan me for a trip to the junk yard. I need to get the center of a dash out of a truck, the option of a hacksaw is not one I'm really looking forward to. -Brad
did you see the nascar boys using theirs on pit road? buy one from home depot - use it then return it - they take most anything back -
you could also take a small generator out there with you and plug in a regular one - is this the yard you can drive into?
Yeah, I could drive back there far enough and run an extension cord the rest of the way. So, that being said, anyone have a small generator and a regular Sawzall I can borrow?! OR, I could borrow a small air compressor like they use on construction sites, and bring my die grinder with a cut-off wheel. One of those small portable torch sets might also work. Which, again, would need to be borrowed! Maybe we can just go out there and take turns with the hack saw...I heard you sockfuckers have strong forearms and lots of endurance. -Brad
That is some funny***** LMAO - you guys have Harbor Freight around there? PepBoys advertise some cheap ones too made by Coleman (at least there lamps and stoves are good) - nothing more to add to this.
Everyone needs a little exercise right? Unfortunaly I don't have tools that could help. You may wanna try a local tool rental. If it's sheet metal why not use snips?
It's contoured, 1963 GMC Truck dashboard sheetmetal...I don't think I could manually work the tin snips required to cut through that. I don't think they make a hand-held Beverly sheer. Again, that might be where having a sockfucker would come in handy! -Brad
Brad, I have a small generator. It's on wheels too, big ones, for dragging it over dirt. We won't be working in the garage tomorrow but I'll be around the house till 11am or so. Josh has my cell.
I'll take you up on that offer if it's still good for next weekend. Got a lot to do tomorrow, and I'd end up losing a ton of time running to your shop in the morning and then tracking down a sawzall or grinder wheel. But that might be the best way for me to go! That'll work really well, too, because I might be able to cut a couple of patch panels off the bed and doors, too. The junkyard I'm going to closes at 12:00 on Saturdays, and isn't open on Sunday, so I'll have to get everything lined up and ready to by Friday night. Thanks for the helping hand. (that's a figure of speech...don't any of you sockfuckers go getting any ideas...) -Brad
You have a shorter memory than I do Two Dogs. Buzz me later this week and I'll bring it to jeffs. There's a 6 1/4 circular in the kit also. I use it for cutting off roofs at the junkyard.
what junkyard are you goin to?....i have a cordless sawzaw but im probably to far from ya...im in mcdonough..can you find out if the yard has 39 chevy parts?...door hinges,grill,driver running board?
slamdpup, what all do you need??? some friends have a shop and are cutting up a 38 chevy, the parts you listed are i'm sure being used, but they might have some other stuff laying around...
Thanks guys. The only vintage cars in there are a late-60s Buick Special wagon, they just hauled in a '55 4dr wagon without a SINGLE useable piece on it, a '64 Ford truck, a early '60s Wildcat with no engine/trans (and now no front drums! eh-eh) and the '62 GMC truck I'm scavenging. I found out a guy at work had the sawzall, and went and cut patch panels out of the door and bed sides today. If I'd have gotten out there earlier, I could have also grabbed two stock wheels for my '62 Suburban, but someone beat me to them, dangit. -Brad
i used the top off of a biscayne wagon to fill my 31 tudor. took the braces and the wire that was used for the roof liner. great piece of metal if its not rusted or smashed
Aint that the truth.One of the kids at work,works at Home Depot part-time. He said you wouldn't believe how many people return Christmas Trees because they "died",& how many of these idiots actually pull it off. Tools are a different story!
