ARGH!! NOT political thread!! Star, your mule sounds like mine..wont stop when you yell whoa! lol. Until the ice melts, I dont need a car. I need a toboggan! Joe took me to town to shop. I said no way I will attempt to back the Impala out of the carport with the ice behind it. He found a front steering link new in box at Vinnys, and had me buy a cabin filter for 2. Said they are 25 in store, this one new in box. And if lucky will fit Imp.

Looking at Classic Truck mag at the ideas on frenching headlights on the 49/Diablo. Guy is saying kits. Or use a car you like. I think Joe is talking to reverse the ring and sink the bucket...how??? Huh?

Joe is right. That would be the best look on the '49 unless you went "custom" with headlights from another car. And I know that is not the way you prefer.
Joe might want to look at '56 Ford pickup rings. They are already "reversed" and the plus is that they are chrome so you have a touch of "shiney" around your newly frenched headlights.
Joe has more that enough welding skills to sink your buckets. Let him take the '49's fenders home to his shop. Then make him an awesome dinner.

I'd call you sweetie but your gal might get mad. I will mention it to Joe about the 56 Ford rims. I do like the chrome reversed. He said we can see later..not to worry about it til farther along. He worked on the one back fender he took. Said it is rough. He welded a few patches in and is trying to figure out if the front lower is supposed to be square or got bent. If I knew of a stock 49 I would go over it and take a ton of pics. He looks on line but people tend to take pics of the same certain areas.
Joe also said dings all over it, slapped them out. I said hail? He said probably just wear and tear, like wood. I said my own " lumberwagon" usually got hit on the top rails when tossing chunks. Not the side. But, guess 49 had stick out rear fenders.

Borrow a few of Mz. Orz's cats. They'll rid you of the rat problem. If that doesn't work you can borrow my little Rat Terrier and I guarantee she'll camp out for days if she even hears one turn a whisker.

Not always. Quality is what counts. I used husbands half inch drill once to cut holes with a hole saw. That sucker had power...hooked sideways and almost tore my hands off. Said not using it again. Neighbor came over to help re-do plumbing pipes. He went in cellar to cut hole through timber. I said watch that drill..it will yank you around. We were upstairs...drilllllllll...WHANG! OW!. He came up and the casing had a broken bit. Yep..it did it to him. I will stick to 3/8th thank you. And dearie...keep your knuckles out of it.

I always hated stairs. Dad had to find a place to put basement stairs after construction screwed up..put house in wrong place with basement not included in prints. So he did a no no and shortened the treads. So I learned to walk down stairs sideways! I did teach mom though to not carry laundry basket down them. Said toss clothes to bottom and pick up once down. She said she had a hard time with that idea. I said..why..clothes so stiff with dirt they will break? Hmm...she said the first time was hard. Then she got into it and said way better than carrying down.
Joe swapped days. We worked on box and cut the boards to length. He took the second back fender home. That one needs work and has the holes left better so he can determine where to drill on first one. Now to me to test mineral oiling the scraps and poly to see how it will turn out.

ORZ, I am well aquainted with the stairs that you described. When married about two years my father-in-law passed and mother-in-law was very frightened to live by herself. Not but three miles in the country and surrounded by farms with a neighbor very close. But she just couldn't adapt and was a very nervous person on the best of her days. So...she worried us to death and the phone rang more in the middle of the night than it did through the day. There was a little frame cottage in the backyard that father-in-law had built so she had a place to do the laundry (on the wringer washer) and also a place to can her vegetables because she could keep the heat out of the main house. There was no AC then so hot summer days were rough and certainly when one put more heat in the house. This little cottage was unfinished. Husband and I discussed the prospect that if we finished the cottage and lived in it we would not have to pay rent and that would cover the expense of finishing the little house. So we had a plan and set to work. My father could do about anything he set his mind to and he built a room across the back of the two room cottage for a kitchen and bathroom. Took about a year but that was our residence for the next 15 years. Our son grew up in his grandmothers backyard and believe me I had to stay on my toes to keep them straight. They were a pair and loved each other dearly. The little house had a stairway which lead up to an attic with sloped roof which came all the way to the floor, but decent size space. We finished the attic as an upstairs for two bedrooms. Finally it was home. The stairway that my father-in-law had built had very short treads and was steep. So know what those are like. My son moved back into that house a couple years ago because his Dad still owns it and he has on several occasions complained about the stairs. I just laugh because he used not to have a problem with them, but now he has these man sized feet they are hard to manouver.

Well how else do we keep this garage going? Joe just called from his garage and said too dang cold so he was going back to the house and watch youtube instead of working on my truck pieces.
I always laughed at some 1800s houses stairs. They go straight up and half way up, do a 90! Oh hell yeah...carry a big dresser or mattress up THAT! We ended up pulling the head board on the downstairs door in the farm house to get the box spring up the stairs. Guess they didnt have much furniture back then. Although some Victorian marble dressers were doozies.

I tore the pages out of Hot Rod to keep of the Falconer 12. Hand built aluminum car. A bit like the Delahae. He built it over bucks in two years. Sold it and happy to not have to polish the bare aluminum. Said he had done it 3 times already. All riveted.
