I've been working on the garage adding lights and shelves and would also like to do something with the floor. There are no cracks but the surface has chipped in some places and is rough. I know I would have to repair it with epoxy or something but would also like to either epoxy coat the whole...

Well when all those recessions hit I had to keep refinancing haha lol

Thanks! It was looking pretty bleak there in January. Lol The wife and I both don't get paid until the last day of the month so...it was super tight.

Hi Kim, The pay is slightly less but it has definitely been greener. Better benefits, retirement, etc.

Here's a pic of the shop lights I'm hanging. I'm wiring in recepticles and wiring plugs into the lights and just plugging them in. That way if they burn out I can just unplug and replace. They are 3500k 5000lumen LEDs from Lowes. And don't pay attention to the mess in the garage, lol.

Well it seems it's my quarterly check-in here on FABO lol. Things have been starting to look better since getting fired from the shop. It's been sort of a blessing in disguise. Was unemployed from Oct 11 to Jan 2nd. The HR manager at the shop lied to the unemployment office about why they...

Well, I do have several big projects around the house we want to get done on top of wanting to do some things to the truck and wagon, lol.

Even if I bought it it doesn't mean I'm getting shady, lol. I would definitely do the VIN search through the state patrol and all that comes with it. I just didn't want to deal with it. :)

I did take that into consideration. However, the whole Jeep story was a little strange. Not saying it was stolen, but I guess I didn't want to deal with it.

Yeah. Also, the truck had no title. The guy said that he bought a couple Jeeps off a guy and the guy said he couldn't have the Jeeps unless he took the truck as well. Seemed kind of fishy.

Love my cat. I've had him since he was around 8 weeks. He turned 10 in October.

Sorry Rob lol

Took some pics of my cat yesterday being silly. Decided to make a couple memes out of him, lol.

Went and looked at the truck. Floors were rotted. Otherwise, a pretty straight truck with some dings that were very fixable. Grille was missing. Decided to pass on it.

Hahaha yep! I've messaged the guy. I can't look at it until middle of the week. :(

I have the 904 laying around as well. So, that would be nice!! Edit: yes it is an auto!

I bet that sucker was super light too!

I have a chance to pick up a 1983 Ram 50 2wd for $150 in pretty good shape with no motor. I posted several months ago about maybe building one and using that 273 I have laying around and doing a turbo or twin turbo set up in it. I think it would be a fun build and can get the body and chassis...

Thanks! Will be at Limon.

Just got the call today and then an email that I'm being hired by the Colorado Department of Corrections as a CO!! Thanks be to God!

Yeah, I know there's drama any place you go. But I need a career where I can potentially move up and not stuck at a dead end job where I was for 11 years. Lol

Hey Geoff, I've been ready for change for years. I'm pretty sure that the floor manager at the shop was giving me a bad wrap to the Sheriff's Dept. He did it to my friend who quit several weeks ago. The guy is a real piece of work. I reported him to HR for asking employees to sell him...

Yes, there is, lol. One of my friends who was the top welder and fastest welder in the shop even quit several weeks after they let me go. The production manager started targeting him and saying he was a terrible employee and stuff that wasn't anywhere near the truth. He quit and went to a...

Back in July he tried forcing only me to work a non scheduled day. He said it was mandatory for me but the guy working on the same part could have that day off. I went to HR and everything. I threatened discrimination. I didn't work that day and guess who got written up the next week? They...

Well I went to the owner first about the issues I was dealing with and he sent this guy out to talk to me to "help." Basically, I got the shaft as they hired the old dept manager back who had gotten fired from the last production manager. Well he thought I got this last one to fire...

Hey everyone! Sure has been a while since my last log in. Hope all is doing well. Have had a couple life changes since, lol. Almost made it on with the Sheriff's Dept in September. Got cut again...3rd try...after making it the furthest through the process. They want me to start testing again...

Are they forged?

Wonder what a good turbo cam would look like for numbers?

Motor would be basically hot street/drag.

My block is over at my father in laws at the moment and I'm going to pick it up tomorrow. It needs hot tanked, new cam bearings and at least .030 over bore. I figured I may do this as a side project for something to do as the $$$ frees up. Lol Wonder how that cam would react with a turbo? Also I...
