Kentucky, I am thoroughly impressed at your craftmanship. If I could talk my buddy into 1/10 the projects you have done over the years we would have alot more experience/skill. KEEP IT UP MAN!! I'm so glad there's still guys out there like you building and coming up with ideas, that way the hard work is done for us

Jason - I've never been out to LBL. I get depressed when I start getting around Bolwing Green 'cause it gets so damn flat out there ! The flatness and the scrub brush out there looks to much like Texas They've built a 4 wheeler / 4x4 park at Black Mountain over around Harlan I'd like to go check out someday. I saw 6 Jeep crawlers on trailers yesterday heading in that general direction.

Earllll - Where ya been so long ? I thought that 1200 had whiped ya

I'd like to be able to finish all the projects that I've started. I've got parts in the parts cleaner tank that have been in there so long I don't remember what they went to ! Half a cub loader I started building ... 24 x 50 second shop I started (couldn't get help) that I had to rent a jack hammer and hammer out 12 holes for 6x6x20' that I stood up by hand myself. I wanted a 15' clearence inside to hoist up pontoons off trailers. Everybody wants me to help (and I do) but nobody is home when I need help. You ought to see the traffic jam on the interstate when I start a project !

Well I'm trying to put the decking on the Toy today ... wish I'd squared it up better as I glued it together !!!
Two hands just aren't enough sometimes ...

Looks pretty sharp Ken, try LBL it does get hilly again after Bowling Green unless it's too far outta the way, I haven't been riding since last year, oh and if you have to use that roll bar make sure you ain't got a perfectly good cub on that flat bed.....lol

 

[kmcconaughey]

KENtucky, wow, you have been busy!

 

[digger]

Yea,but he's still gonna bang up his hood when he rolls it over!!!!

 

[kweaver]

I've not made the EXO cage yet !

I figured up the weight of the bed a while ago ... 416 pounds.

Speaking of rolling it over ... Sunday when I took the ol lady for a spin in it I told her we needed to test the roll bar and make sure it worked. She said she'd get out and watch to make sure I did it right ... wasn't that nice of her to offer to help that way.

Just got back from getting a sheet of 20ga. to make up the half doors. These 90°+ days are getting to hot with no AC!

 

[lbaker]

Aw come on Ken!! No AC?? You're not turning soft on us now are you??

 

[kweaver]

Lyle - 94° again today. It's been hitting 95 for a couple of weeks now. After 37 years of welding and smoking ... I don't breath well when it gets hot. At least the humdiddyity is only 28% now.

Got 115 miles on the TOY now. It runs smooth @75mph on I-75.

 

[lbaker]

Know what you mean Ken!! About the same here, and dry as yesterday's pop corn. Will be taking the camper and headed for W.Va. for a while. Can't be any hotter.. BTW- Toy looking good!

 

[kweaver]

My next project

[kmcconaughey]

KENtucky, what? A 4x4 Vega station wagon? I think the heats getting to you, that or you've gone crazy.

 

[kweaver]

Kraig - Etch me a circuit boad! The main board in my Century 225 MIG is bad and I don't like paying $189 for $10 worth of parts!
Thanks Linclon , if I'd wanted a Lincoln I'd have bought one to start with !!!!!!!

Goin' drag racing?? We spent all day Wednesday in Muncie Indiana (rented the strip for 6 hours so my friend could start getting the feel of his car) They were getting set for "Test n' Tune" that night and one of the realllly nice cars that came in was a fully caged big block Vega coupe...

 

[kmcconaughey]

KENtucky, send me the new parts, a schematic, the old board and I'll hand wire a new one for you. Ummm, before you do any of what I just wrote, send me some photos of the board.

Kendell,
