QUOTE(cary @ Jul 26 2017, 07:12 AM)  I just noticed the cardboard box - for a case of 12 Dungeness Crabs. Oh, for a fresh northwest crab! Here we get "snow crab". Frozen and stringy. Years ago we returned to the PNW, chartered a sailboat and caught all of the crab we could eat. Lucky devils! |

Another episode of Tool Whore. Added a HF headlamp to my face shield. Works pretty good.
 Saturday at MiddleMotors. BIG DAY ON TAYLOR'S PROJECT He finished the harvesting of the front fire wall. With the amount of welding that will need to be done I'll probably refurbish quite a bit of the flange. That will keep the edge from blowing out.  Taylor and his trophy. Matt continues with his harness rebuilding/repairing.  |

Tuesday 8/8/17.
Spent half the day welding on Doug's car. Then started to assemble (dis-assemble) the suspension and brakes on Matt's car.    New 914 Rubber sway bar bushings  Dis-assemble : we removed the URO front control arm bushing from the refurbished control arms. No torch. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Shop press and bearing separators. And some McGyvering on/in the press to make space for parts travel. Press will need to be upgraded to a 20 ton to make the project faster. Trailing arms will get the new 914 Rubber control arm bushings. Since harvesting Chris's firewall patch Super In Law has continued to saw up the yellow parts car. Because it was a V8 attempt car not a lot of parts. saving odd things. center section of rear taillight panel remainder of firewall for 6 cylinder cover front portion of engine tray cable/tube section of rear lower firewall entire right long, stem to stern mount section of upper right long late engine fan mount both hinge posts, including long portion  |

Did another visual on Taylor's project before heading to the Eagle Cap Wilderness for a 6 day backpacking trip.
Matt and I discovered that Taylor's clutch tube is totally disconnected in all three locations. That's first. Nice that's it's on a rotisserie for the floor pan entry. Plus one of the right seat hinges needs to be relocated. Seat frame wouldn't go into place. If would waller out the holes it would be crooked. |

My car has kept me from sleeping in a tent since April, and I haven't gotten my canoe wet once this summer. May have to take some time off from the car before the summer is gone. |

I'm back ................
Man I forget how much I love being above the timberline. First day was pretty tough. 3500 ft of vertical in 4 miles at 61 years old. My RV. Gregory Palisades.  Above the timberline I carry 2 sleeping pads. Egg crate and foam.   Today is shop clean up day. The 2 parts cars going to the squisher. Used oil being given to independent shop that has an oil burning shop heater. |

With coming back a day early I spent yesterday taking the remains of two of the parts cars to their final resting place. Far West Metal Recycling.
I was surprised that I was paid $95 per ton. I thought it was down to $30 per ton. |

After harvesting all the hardware off the parts cars I figured it was time for a plating run.
Working with Matt and Doug has spoiled me.    Super In Law is wearing out the nozzles on the bead blaster. LOL. We'll remove all the spring we can get at off the latches. Next issue is where will I put all the shiny stuff when it gets back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

While I'm welding on Doug's car Super In Law is also breaking all the harvested parts and getting them ready to be put up into storage.
  Kind of odd. Most of these parts cars have new disks on them. So they get put into storage to be blasted and turned down in the future.  As we were leaving last night I found 4 more totes of parts off the POS parts car that will need to sorted and prepared for storage, or tossed out. He'll be busy today. LOL. Plus we'll be cutting down some pallets to 3 ft deep to put the totes on. Too big of a PIA up on the rolling stairs. |

In Super In Laws full time work at the shop while Matt assembles his car he totally cut up my 3 donor cars. Pallettized all the spare parts totes so they can now be downloaded with Big Joe. Oh yeah, he jacked up Big Joe and rebuilt the casters. Welded up a new caddy for the scrap steel stuff for building jigs. Welded up the 914 Rubber jig for testing brake master cylinders.
Upgrading my 12 ton HF press to a 20 ton unit. Got my 25% off coupon in an email yesterday. The 12 ton unit has served us well. It will be coming home to be installed in the carport after we enclose it and add on a 4th bay home work shop. Here's his scrap caddy .................  Yesterday is the first time I've sent him home. We were at Subway for lunch and the gal asked him how he was doing. Answer : a little tired. RED FLAG ............ The girls were out and about so I had them head out to Forest Grove to pick him up. But he couldn't leave till we/he extracted Matt's long block from the back of the truck.

Hopefully we'll back to it this winter ..............
The plan is to get back to frame bench fixtures after Doug and Taylor's cars are on the way home. |

New Episode of Tool Whore.
Upgraded my shop press to a 20 ton unit. Added a bench mounted arbor press for the smaller stuff. The 12 ton unit served us well. We really stressed it a couple times in Montana working on the farm equipment. Cross bar had a little bow in it.    |

Super In Law and Jordan laying in the winter wood supply. While I'm welding rosettes on Doug's car. Matt showed up around 7:30 to tinker for a couple hours.
 Correct new motor/pump combo arrived for jet washer. Big $$$.  It will get installed on Thursday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |
