Dissasemble Mr. Number Johnny 5 ..... 12

Well some of you got that and that's just fine with me.

The removal of all that its bucket is underway. What you aren't seeing is all that was hidden beneath the seat; Wiring, battery, fuses, tools, amp, switches, controls, etc. Gone now.



Steering column, gas pedal, speakers, shifter, firewall plate, console, more wiring, etc.



And here be some of it.

A little playing

Curiosity got the better of me while playing with the frozen 80 year old speedometer and I decided I was going to see if I could get it working again. After figuring out how to disassemble it without destroying it I found it was full of old grease and debris. I cleaned, polished and straightened the gears, lubricated everything and re-assembled. It moves freely now and resets at 0. This may work for me if I can figure out how to make it understand my TH350.

Body in the garage

I spent some time this past weekend cleaning up the shop and moving things around to prepare for the build. I had to move the welding bench to make room for the furnace (which is working perfectly, so no radiant heat build this year - full on warmth) and I had the kids help organize all the shelves.

The body

It used to belong to John through one of those "just had to have deals" and then became one of those "I just have to move this" deals which I gladly helped load up and bring home - along with a few other toys, I wonder if he will notice the missing AMC 360? I already pawned off his seats, enjoy that Ozz.

New Blog

No content here yet, still getting pics & info ready but this is the new build, taking over where the Bucket Build left off.

Some of the pics will be quick camera phone snaps, some with my older Lumix FZ so no complaints about picture quality. I am still working on site layout, themes, graphics, etc so please be patient during construction.
