My contribution. Today at lunch a co-worker said he is selling his brothers 92 Buick for 250 or best offer. I offered 100 at the lunch table sight unseen knowing it has a blown brake line but runs and dives and he accepted it. I will be picking it up Friday night with the trailer and maybe scrap Saturday. Fabozene in my town. Lol

I am starting to get some crazy good beads going now!
I smoked a roll of wire in about a 24 hour period, and I didn't work that long to do it!
I used the metal I cut out for the patches to put back in place. The one was split due to it being on a seam of 2 large panels down the side meeting there. When I welded back in, it split itself down the middle on the old seam!??!
I sarted noticing a crack. welded and continued to work the patch. Split again same spot after grinding. got longer as area cooled. Welded it again, cracked again. I heard I need to drill a hole at the end of the crack, weld the crack then fill the hole. or I can patch the back over the crack.
I'm sure to be revisiting this weld again. That's OK, the color of red for FOTO also comes in spray bombs off the shelf from Van Cyckle, Case IH Red! LOL:coffee2:
I'm just going to UPS to see about purchasing their packaging service, then I'll ship USPS. Well to arrive soon. Do you want me to clean up further? The welded patch really needs to have a little kitty hair on it to be right. Could use more rust converter too. Let me know if you want me to finish prep on it or you can do.

Sorry.
Just been dealing with depression, no income, and a long line of repairs to keep any 1 of our cars running. Lots of work of late on our stuff but no money work.
Lump has had a reman carb installed, burned through 2 ballast resistors, and had 2 fuel tank sensors installed (1st new one bad) sense I was last here on FABO. Lump is also developing an intermitent lifter noise, comes and goes. I hope that isn't going to lead to more bad news!
Daisy had a reman carb installed, 1 ballast resistor, and wiper bushings. Still haven't had time to reinstall the glove box yet!
I have been spread too thin on too many projects of late.
Suprise at the junk yard last week. I was at our local U-pull-it over in Northern KY and when I was leaving the check in desk there was a red Aries wagon 1st up on the chrysler line. I looked in, slant 6 with a super six on it. Could use that for our Duster. They wanted $450.00 for engine tranny combo with intake and carb. Too rich for my blood so I went back the next day and scored the intake/exhaust/carb combo for $120.00!!! Used YD's battery sawzall for exhaust tube and was out of there in under an hour!! Schwing!! Sides yard dawg has a slant/tranny for me already for a lot less money, but the super six was too good to let be crushed. I forgot to tell ya, they were crushing that line, it was 2 cars away from crusher. By the time I pulled my stuff the next day It was the lone car in that line! Only one not crushed!! Being saved for their classic auction in spring!! Maybe buy the rest of it then!! LOL
Also; was a 68 R/T here for sale for $9500.00 in town. Really nice and was going to get pics for FABO. The guy who owned sold us our old 69 dart. The night before I was to get pics for yaz, it was stolen right in view of everyone on 4 lane state highway!!!
Last 2 weeks has been better. Finally hauled like 4 junkers, bought and resold a mini van so we got a HOUSE PAYMENT WOO HOO!!!
This past Sat. got to buy a 1 owner, garage kept 2001 Windstar Limited. ABB is getting it for a daily driver. I'll post some pics of it later. The original owner hydroplaned it into a guard rail (Should have bought those new tires) So monday I was tracking body parts and will be putting on miles today to get all the parts. Am trying to fix by this Sat so ABB and Lex can visit family in Louisville.
ABB and Lex was last seen sitting in the Van Sunday night watching a Disney dog movie on it's built in flat screen! WOW is that thing loaded or what!!
Still working on a blue Metro for resale too.
Got to keep busy or we'll be moving into that cardboard box for the holidays!
I wanted to say thanks to all who have written. I'll try to be on here more soon. But only look for me here or my other threads or PM's. I won't be posting anything for sale on FABO anymore and I won't be in the tech sections giving advise either. It's like as soon as we popped that 20K members here we started getting the garbage that comes with it too.
Good Times!:cheers:
Look for new chapters of
CAR HUNT! FABOZENE:cool:
soon!! All the weeds are dying and I have been spotting more cars in fields of late.
Feel free too guys and post yer finds here too like chryslerfat, Thanks!!
I want to wish all who have been so nice to us, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Glad to see you back on here John. You were missed by me and many others.

Thanks for saying.
There are alot of people I missed here too including you! LOL
I accept 50% of the blame for that blow up due to me "Assuming" he was talking Duster when he was talking Swinger, even though his PM was titled "Lump" (our 4 door).
Alot is lost due to no face to face communications on the computer and obviously missunderstandings can happen VERY easy, especially if you are trying to sell all your cars at once. Best to only post 1 at a time for sale no matter how bad off you are. Still, NOT going to post anything here for sale again though.
I'm sure there is still a mod or two here that aren't too pleased with me either! (sorry)
Didn't know I would be so missed!
Again, sorry for all the BS.
dustermaniac, Thanks for writing,.... wishing you and your family have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!:cheers:
