[norfolkff05]

...and i won't start on it before thursday since today was a wash after the Tough Mudder. i needed the day to recoup, so tomorrow i will be finishing this side job i'm on.

thursday is go time! :thumbup

 

[jfritts]

You want me to run over my welder, jack stands, and engine hoist tomorrow? I will be free to help you till sunday. Any other tools you might need

 

[norfolkff05]

yes, please do. but i won't be starting on it until thursday afternoon/evening.

Sunday? Twins have a party to go to and if Wife takes them to that Trey and I could probably slide over for a bit.

 

[norfolkff05]

not sure about sunday...if i do anything it will be in the am but only until about 11am. church is at 1pm, then family time after that.

 

[379sinvb]

Any progress brother?

 

[thin blue line]

Maybe if he wasn't eatting cheese fries and hootin it up a texas road house he may of made a little progress. Just kidding nice to see you again this week.

 

[norfolkff05]

yes, i made great progress. i got the garage cleaned up in preparation of housing the 7.3/zf5. i also got the donor truck parked in place to have its guts ripped out of it.....AND i got the fritts' hoist and welder in the garage ready to roll....shew, will all that accomplished i think i deserve a break. you know how us union guys work, can't do too much too fast!

i do have some loose ends to tighten up mon morning on this side job, then i will really get into it. i plan to pull the grill, radiator, and core support out mon afternoon to make it easier to pull the motor/trans/tc in one assembly. so wed and fri of this week should see some serious progress.

 

[379sinvb]

Cool, I'll try and slide over friday.

 

[20sNaRanger]
