What tools do we need to bring? I will bring my ones i know i needed for this vintage.

 

[LBarr2002]

How many plan to be there by 9? I'll grab some breakfast for everybody.

Good fun today. Brooks if you need the socket for the spindle nut, let me know.

With that rot on the GPW frame at the motor mounts, do we just want to patch it up. or use the other frame? If we use the other frame we will need to use that front axle for the steering.

I think gary really wanted to use the gpw frame, could we just cut out a section and weld in some plate?

 

[DanStew]

We can just plate it, it maybe just alot of trash inside making the rot look worse. since it is going to be a parade queen it probably wont be an issue.

You can swing by place or i can bring it to work. Definately differnt than the 44, the 44 should ahve the 4 tabs, the dana 25/27/30 is just a big honkin socket just let me know.

[DanStew]

Are those bullet holes in the body?

unless they were ground down when they did the bondo previously I dont think so, there isnt much push through on the back side, like I would think a bullet would leave.

I talked to Gary today, he is coming by the shop thursday at 6 pm to see it. Anyone that wants to come over is welcome.

 

[LBarr2002]

I'll stop by tomorrow around 6:00.

Since i wasn't there for the first work day what was decided about the motor? Next question, I volunteered for electrical. Looks like these were all originally 6v systems. Is it the intent to keep this one at six or go to 12v and just use a standard GM 1 wire 12v alternator for ease of maintenance and parts availability?

 

[LBarr2002]

Terry said Ronnie volunteered to take the engine. It's sitting on a pallet ready to go. We did not discuss wiring, probably a question for Gary.

I'll be tearing into the front axle at my house tonight if anyone wants to join.

 

[DanStew]

NO, we will smell it from across the lake. You probably should wear a hairnet, thats gonna be nasty. hahahahaha
