Still here Gary, just hoping for warm weather to begin working on cleaning and painting the battery box and tray as well as the floor under it all.

Here too, put the engine back in my M the other day and working steadily away on bringing it back to life.

Nice to hear from all of you fine folks! With warmer weather on the way, time to get back to work on our trucks!

What warmer weather?

Our forecast is 15 to 20 degrees below normal for at least the next ten days. Ice and snowfall at least into Monday of next week.

98F here today forecasted. Nice and cool.

Still here, still not finished, in my defense, I had total knee replacement the day after Christmas, the doc passed out, they closed me up! Opened me up again on the 27th, all went well for a minute, the 15th or so of January I was diagnosed with mursa, so 6 weeks of infusion antibiotics three times a day! Now I'm almost 90% so no more excuses. Still on a prophylactic antibiotic for 6 months.

Ouch! That's a lot of down time Bruce-hope you're recovering well!

OMG!! The Doc passed out during the operation? What happened to him?

Those infections will kick your butt! I lost 55 lbs. when I got a staph infection in my spine. 5 weeks in the hospital getting the extremely strong antibiotics but I was getting them every 4 hours and it took an hour to get it all in so basically I was glued to the damn machine for a month. Then home and infusing myself for another month. It is one hell of a weight loss program that is for sure. Was it the same doctor that finished up the knee the second try? I would be real leary of that!!!! Hope all is well now.

I wish I had lost weight, the good thing is I didn't gain any! The doc's blood pressure dropped, not sure what exactly happened as I was out cold. I did the home infusions three times a day, 2 hours at a clip, for almost 7 weeks, unbelievable it was. The way I'm feeling, I think I'm about 85, 87% right now? On another note, today is my birthday, 39 I think?
Now I need to get a rebuild kit for my ETW-1 and git my butt in gear!
Thanks for the well wishes everyone.

Crazy busy with work and life. All good. Hoping to see some local folks at the Denton Rally

Been replaceing my brake lines with nicop(with SS armor). Once I finally started- it was not so bad.

Nice work, 06boblee.

Is that a rebuild tag on the rear axle differential third member?

Yes, I have a pic of it somewhere, I'll try to find it.

Thanks for the pic. I can't quite read the tag, but something about "National" and somewhere in Alabama? And maybe something about an MWO? Is there an MWO for the third member on these trucks?

Are you going to update your build thread on that interesting looking fuel tank? <Hint>
