This is not an "upcharge". I'm not letting a vehicle with u-bolts in this condition onto the road.

Getting closer to having heat in the barn. I understand that the efficiency of the unit will be severely depleted by the fact that there is daylight coming through my walls, but I'll be happy just heating my work area.

Pretty sure this guy will keep my section of June Chapel Rd warm.

Another one pulled from the weeds. This was the customer's dad's so a little sentimental value with it. Story is that it was parked 10+ years ago with fuel issues. Wound up replacing everything but the fuel pump on the fuel system, gas tank to carburetor and hoses. Of course it needed all new brakes and brake lines, distributor, plugs and wires, numerous seals, alternator, and radiator. I'm sure I'll find more as I continue with test drives and there's still a good bit of little things to work out. Overall it's a good truck though that has minimal rust and drives surprisingly well. I'm always happy when I can give these old guys new life.

Y'all check your 2nd gen ram motor mount hangers. 98 dodge 3500.

I really need to get running water in the barn.

Guess I built myself an outboard engine service bay.

Got the pleasure of working on a fine example of a 2nd gen Ram. Don't see too many regular cabs with the bed still on it. Check y'all's front brakes, this is the second one this year with cracked front brake rotors and seized calipers.

Really RockAuto? This gets a magnet?

I have to laugh at this. We have customer of the year plaques for our highest paying customer each year. I guess if one gets the plaque 10 times we could name a bay in honor. It's all in good fun and great to have customers that appreciate the gesture.

Slide hammer strap and a couple good sockets didn't like the cold. Sockets are both old craftsman USA types and no impact gun was involved. The slide hammer strap gave up first lick and I've used it for a long time with some serious anger with no issues. Dam it's cold out.
