It's ALL Chepsk8's FAULT !!!

[65stanger]

Well....Sears and this Spring-like weather didn't help any either......
I'm gearing up to start working on my 'stang now that the weather is getting better, so what better way to start than going out and buying....TOOLS!
More specifically, I just bought a 3-1/2 ton floor jack (I think that is it's weight, not capacity! ), (2) 3-1/2 ton jack stands (came with the jack) and (4) 2-1/2 ton jack stands! All for less than $150!

Now I'm ready to jack the 'stang up and get back to work on her undercarraige and suspension!

So what's next? More bodywork; or are you going to start getting Austrailian parts to make the 200 SCREAM???

HA HA!!!!!!!!!!

I can't be the only one spending ludicrous amounts of money here!

I have that floor jack (love it) it weighs at least 3.5 tons and the jack stands (little short for my liking). I bought two pairs of the harbor freight 6 ton stands for 18.00/pr. Right now these are what my car is sitting on in lieu of a suspension

Good Luck and Happy wrenching

I'm getting back to work on the chassis and suspension.....body work I'm probably going to pay a pro.... and as for the Aussie parts......That is most definately in Sally's future as soon as I can scrape together the $$$.....FordSix.com has this nice little package deal.....only $2010.00!

HA HA!!!!!!!!!!

Who said anything about ludicrous amounts of money? I'm taking pages from the "Chepsk8 Manual for Restoring/Resto-ing Your Ride"

Thanks!
I figured between the 3-1/2 ton stands and the 2-1/2 ton stands (6 all told) and whatever 2x4s and 4x4s I've got lying around.........won't be high enough for my liking (Only a hydraulic lift would be....), but it will be enough for me to be able to get under the 'stang..........

Was the Machining money for my engine,
But worth every penny.

Since the '67 around the block has a six-in-a-row; I have looked at fordsixparts.com . Saw that $2010 package (or even the $1880 package without the ceramic coating... If ya want to keep a long and skinny motor, that would definitely be the trick

Damn man! I'm jealous! I suppose you have a rotisserie hidden in that shop somewhere too............I don't suppose you live near enough for me to "borrow" your shop....

Once I have all the chassis and suspension parts I need, that's next on the list.......

 

[65stanger]

A REAL Pick-Me-Up!

Well Ladies, Gentlemen and Blue Fuzzies of all ages......here are my new "toys"...........I mis-spoke, the smaller J-stands are only 2-1/4 ton...

Note Sally still wearing her BIG BLUE Winter Wrap!....it's still a wee bit chilly here.......

 

[65stanger]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

I've done it again! I spent MORE money!!!

I just ordered the TCP sub-frame connector kits (1 and 2) for Sally!



WARNING!: To ANYONE coming in close proximity to Chepsk8: He is contagious!

and y'all thought my BLUE FUZZ was the source for all them bugs!

 

[chepsk8]

Step right up! Next victim (er, I mean "buddy") I can separate them from thier money.....

 

[StangDreamin']

Day-yum! I'm fortunate that I didn't get to go! Cheapie; next time time you're in Vegas, don't head South - Lord only knows what I'd end up buying with you around to influence me!

The Doc has said his kids might sell the Shelby 'vert, but he won't! So at least my next three years' salary is safe!

Send your $$$ to me, I'll take care of it for you!

No offense, old friend; but no.

I'm sure that, with the kids, the animals, Li'l Red the new-old truck (1/2NK's "Son of Generic Rice-Eating Chevy Truck") my paycheck is well-spent before I ever see it!

I'm only six months older than you.........

BTW......I forgot to thank Chepsk8 for the $500. T-shirt!

 

[65stanger]

What's up with TCP?

I ordered their sub-frame connector kits on-line 11 days ago, at the time I got a message back saying I would be contacted by phone in 5 days....as I hadn't heard from them I tried calling them on Thursday, only to get a message that they are moving???

Now I'm wondering if the got my order or not.....nothing has been billed to my credit card yet............

You must have Contacted the Buy and Wait syndrome too.
Without Proper care it may turn into the Fatal .
And it smell worse than the Gutter.


What happened to the thread of them going out.


Keep Staring out the window for the Big Brown truck,

It will get Better.
