My day off today, but way, way too hot for me. I really struggle when it gets this warm. So I didn't venture out to the garage till this evening. Fitted 2 bolts & cut the next 2 to length. Cut them too short. *sigh* Give up, go home & drive 20 miles to the bolt shop after work tomorrow to buy more.  |

A couple of the garages in my block have been broken into & the padlocks on mine have been looked at cos they've been moved. It's 2 miles from home so I wouldn't know if someone broke in till the next time I went there.
It's usually some scumbag looking for tools or small items they can carry away on foot or a pushbike, rather than car thieves, but they'd probably trash the Pop while looking for stuff.
If it got badly damaged that'd probably be me out of the hotrod scene for good. I haven't got the enthusiasm, or remaining years, to start all over again.

That might be worth investing in.

Waiting on various nuts & bolts ordered from Ebay cos I couldn't get them locally, but gradually working through the fuel pipe layout, re-routing & refurbishing various components. Took me an hour just to clean up the 2 one way valves that were covered in old paint & road grit corrosion. When the pick-up bed was fitted, I either couldn't see or couldn't reach a lot of this stuff.

I ordered a pair of hexagon headed bolts for the axle locating rods. They arrived today. Countersunk allen bolts. No use to me at all, so I emailed the Ebay seller. "That may be due to a mistake in our packing department". No sh*t. To their credit, they're sending out replacements & a pre - paid envelope to return the others. The name of the company -Balls Fasteners  |
