was all set to use it then looked at it and realized I needed one with the auto cooler so Patched the old one till I buy an aluminum radiator for it. The one you gave me I put in storage till one of my buddies with a manual needs a replacement.

Yep my projects are on the slow side due to the same reasons as Zakt. :wink:

Slow moving projects are like driving the freeways around here,
always a chance the pace might improve though.
Ya never know.

Being single after a divorce does tend to give one an edge in getting
stuff like old truck restoration done more quickly, I'll have to say.

I too bear in mind the homeowner's association.
Thats why I like the fact my 2006 project actually moved within a couple weeks.
If I move my three vehicles around a little bit,
occasionaly vary
the appearance of my place in doing so, I think I'll run the risk of remarks
slightly less than I might otherwise. 8)

Same sorta thing here, last week was spent clearing ground and erecting the flooring supports for a 200 sq. ft structure meant to make space utilization easier ... to accomodate the never ending projects. Much like an old Ford in forward motion: This spins around to make this happen, which allows for this to occur, making this possible, all for the low, low price of .... :lol:

btw, "no replacement for displacement" comes to mind, in this way:

dis place was meant for dat thing, which otherwise has no real place meant for it. Right?

Or am I mixing it up?

Now, where did I put that old analog multitester (I did find the Radio Shack book "Using Your Meter" ...)

Phwagg...I sure enjy reading your posts. It appears to me that you have a strong command of the written and spoken words of the English language.

I am fortunate to write much, much better than I speak...for I have been accused of having a thick southern acent...yet I never seem to hear it myself.

Either way..phwagg..kep on posting so I can keep on enjoying them.

As we say in the Army...Hoo-ah! (pronounced WHO-UH) but is best appreciated when aid in a loud boisterous manner.
