hooked up and ready for glue


Sheesh, it's been a long day.
Went off to the hardware store to get some new blades for the Skill saw and some bolts to bolt these brackets to the frame. Using 1/4" "strong like bull" angle iron, them blades don't last too long.
Started all over this morning after nightmares last night of using 3/16" angle, what I had already made the brackets yesterday.


If'n ya think I weren't work'n, this is my 2 car garage right off the front of "da porch". I bet'ya I climbed under "that jeep" at least a hunerd time. And I ain't done yet.







Well, would ya lookie here. This is what Billy Bob does for a liv'n.
Everything fit just like a glove...you do remember the glove, right?
But I ain't done yet. Now I got to take it all back out and glue everything together.....Loc Tite Blue. Make a couple "resiz'n" cuts to the radiator crossmember and WALLA!!!
Now old Billy Bob happy.


Come tomorrow, after a golf ball swak'n day, I will probably lay back on "da porch" and rest. This is too much like go'n to work every morning.

Did I ever tell ya bout the time.....I went off play'n darts at one the local pubs and got snockered so bad I had to call in sick the next morning. Actually, I weren't sick....I were still snockered to the gills. Sick came a few hours later as I lay on the couch DIE'N. What I learnt from that lesson was never take a shot of tequila after every bulls eye. Just drink yer beer and shut up.
Don't know why I wrote this, but for some reason work reminds me of get'n drunk....what I don't do no more.

"that's all I have to say bout that"...GUMP

  2. No....I'll put a few tack welds on it just to make it look purty. Them ai'n't just bolts, they hi dollar #8.8 hi tensile strength "strong like bull" bolts.
    Yes, I'm gonna have some welding done on it when I take it back out to glue the bolts.
    hehehehe!!!!

  3. I was eyeballing those brackets yesterday and thought that they looked thin. the ones on my car are about 1/2 or so(side plates). Those you have now will do the job. The only question I have, is how do the brackets that your tow bar attaches to deal with twisting forces.

  5. River....the tow bar is a Blue Ox with all that twist'n stuff built in.
    Yesterdays brackets would have probably towed a bulldozer, but....
