I remember you showing me this before. Sara got the name from her "brother" who uses this guy for everything. I am just along for the ride

Gotcha. Everybody that is in to good ink has a 'guy' they'll always go to. Kym is my 'guy' (girl)

I'll be honest, If we didn't have someone, I would give her a shot. I like the cleanliness and the art she has posted.

Think I am going to watch some TV with the Mrs. Hope that everyone has a great one!!!

and you didn't fix it?

The only thing holding the frame together was the leaf springs. The rest of the frame wasn't very good. I put it up on the lift to see where the gas tank was leaking and it buckle a little when I was under it. I had the headlights wired to the ignition switch. That's the only way they would work. Had the wipers on a toggle switch, ran the brake lights directly to the brake light switch and the list goes on. It was time to retire it.

I like it, grandpa has one. My foot is too big for the gas pedal though, the pedal is too close to the transmission hump and makes it awkward to drive.

meh, they tend to have throttle body issues, and too much body roll.

Nothing a little steel and some welding couldn't fix...

I can tell you that you can run those with the radiator so full of sludge and not hurt it. I ran mine like that for most the summer. When I put a new rad in it and drained the old one I got about a pint of antifreeze. I tore the old one apart and it was packed with rusty sludge. It never ran hot, just a little above normal

Not worth a crap in snow. We have some at work. I can ask the motor pool guys about repairs and problems if you want.
