a rump roast

I figure a picture is worth a 1,000 words. Now add in my words of text and you have a book. I do not mind fixing up mechanical things, and I normally end up redesigning something along the way. When all is said and done, the left over parts were just a mere mistake the original engineers made in the...

Maybe the same creature (or his brother) crawled in your voltage regulator and gummed up the contacts. Open the top and look for corrosion. Maybe some fine sand paper to shine up the contacts.

Cameron (grandson 4 yrs old) helped scatter the tools across the barn. I can use all the help I can get. I am still wating on the steel hydraulic tubing repa...

The old one will be used in the rear. I painted the light fixtures black and assemebled the fronts. I have the front r...

Thanks for the painting compliments. I am far from a professional painter. My idea is; if it looks good from 100 feet away, it is a success. The pictures make my paint job look good and sometimes the shadows make my job look bad. It is what it is. Close inspection will see deep scratches and chipped...

http://i836.photobucket.com/albums/zz289/pammark/YELLOW7.jpg I have the hour meter installed, the fuel tank mounted with about 3 gallon of fresh fuel inside. No leaks. http://i836.photobucket.com/albums/zz289/pammark/YELLOW8.jpg I painted the exhaust manifold with the Eastwood high temperature pain...

summer will come
