I bet everyone that has ever built a car has had one of these day. I started the day off with the best intentions of getting the radiator mock into the pickup. So there I was radiator in one hand grillshell in the other after about 10 mind of stairing and thinking I put down the radiator and attack the project. With the grillshell sitting where I thought it would look the best I grabbed the radiator walked over to the pickup, looking and wondereding what the f did I do. I thought I would be Mr kool and mount my leaf spring above the axle instead off behind like my plan originally call for. I studied the radiator in the shell and thought well maybe if I cut the lower hose outlet off and braze it up at a 90 it wont end up going between the spring and the axle. Not a great spot I would think a hose should be. After a hr of stairing and thinking what in the hell was I thinking, I just decided that no matter how much more work I have to do I must move the spring to behind the axle. I guess its a small price to pay to look cool. With that all said of to work I go. Moral of my tale when I build something :mad: I need to stick to my plan in my head not what I think at that moment.
i just wing it, sometimes 3 or 4 times before i get it right :thumbs:
ouch.. been there, done that.. kinda sucks, big time actually. hope it all turns out the way it should be :) Still a killer project, all the best have moments like these
Im not one to give up to easy so lastnight after I left farmboys I went to work cutting and moving things around. About 3am I wreck my only 1/2 drill bit and said enough is enough and went to bed. I got the new crossmember mocked up and started to work on the wish bones. maybe tonight it will be a roller again. Good news I just about have everything to make it drive now just need brakes, which I can drive with out them. :nod: yeah right my luck I would hit someone.
i say just take all the parts for your truck, throw them at it. and stare real hard :confused: and they will mount themselves :thumbs:
pchop we all get them kinda days makes it worth while in the end though,,,, need any thing holler sometimes easier with four eyes than two,,or 6 or 8 or 10

me to. So if you get me, farmboy, nchkustoms..... that's 12 eyes right there.
wow just think all the lookin we could do :poke:
and thats about it.. just lookin.. haha :woot:
does being really tired and seeing 3 or 4 of something that you know there is only 1 of count for move then 2 eyes. I also tried the throwing thing it doesnt seem to work. I sit and stare but all I see is the bottom of my highlight bottle getting more clear. :clap: That and them darn parts fly back every once and a while let me tell you getting hit a few time with an axle or a crossmember is not the must fun.:'( but hey anytime someone wants to stop by and show me what Im doing wrong is more then welcome to. Oh and farmboy friday is a go for me if it works for you
ok that will just have to work then :thumbs:
ok its on i talked to my schedule keeper "becky" and she said i can go out and play for a while, yess :clap:
