MS LIBERTY a Wild Weasel's belly tank

[Jack Gifford]

... yesterday was Friday the 13th...

That could not have been his problem. As Pogo used to say in the comic strip- "When Friday the 13th falls on a Friday, all is well; but when Friday the 13th falls on a Tuesday... or a Saturday... or whatever- watch out!"

LOL

[SPARKY]

I got my brackets cut out and cleaned up---but I am going to wait until I have a second pair of hands and eyes to measure to make sure I have a better shot at alignment ---just as soon not have Ms Liberty not dog tracking down the track. 

[SPARKY]

Well I could not stand it I just kept going back, watched,, the race for a while  worked in shop,  watched the ball games for a while back to the shop---I think I am there,  decided to sleep on it then will hard tack in the am.. an get some more eyes.

Marty came by last night and welded the axle brackets to the new axel and the frame brackets so I now have a axle I can take in and out.  I am taking the time to reroute the brake lines to shield them from the turbos when we get there.  Once again  I am reminded why folks say that Special construction takes 3 to 4 times as long as door slammers.  Every thing is a long thinking process as well as having to "BRACKET RACE" your way through the whole process.

You're telling me!

100% Sparky.

The stuff never stops and you have to be 10 steps ahead when doing anything.

Amen to that, Sparky!

John came over for about 4 hours---we got STUFF done,, the oil pan is now all hooked back up and all the dry sump lines installed.
  the axle is bolted in and it aligns nicely
the brake lines are in they are UGLY but you can't see the ugly and they are functional

I should be able to finish most of the axle  and start reinstalling the water tank  then on to the carb and tps stuff.

Go Sparky

[SPARKY]

Got one of the brakes done and found a defective wheel cyl--some more of that great chi-com stuff replacement parts for Ford 9"---will get it done today Andy and I will bleed the brakes tonight

-mostly I will work on getting the TPS installed inside my air intake scoop system.

[SPARKY]

Andy came over for an hour to night---we bled the brakes and adjusted the shoes---I finished the brakes the AM and worked on the fuel system and TPS off and on this afternoon.

Thanks Sum for all you have done toward this Data Logging stuff

[SPARKY]
