Work on My F8, No. 11

[Jim Price]

Although it's only been four days since I posted, it's be two weeks before I do again. Am off tomorrow to California to visit my daughter and her family for week!

We did accomplish a few things in the interim:

Bob repaired the front panel on the engine compartment. The bottom "step" that is bolted to the floor was badly rusted had to be replaced.

Saturday, I rounded up Bob, Terry and Dylan along with another friend, Scott, and we hitched up my trailer and went over to the painter's and picked up all the remaining parts with the exception of the roof/rear window body panel and the windshield frame.

Unloaded all into every room of the house (The weather forecast was for rain which proved to be right on!) with the exception of the truck bed which we installed on the truck. Good thing I'm not married!

Bob and Dylan took a couple of spins around the block and we called it a day.

Today, we fitted the rear fenders to the bed and drilled all the holes in the fenders and supports. Will install them week after next. Pictures to follow.

Was a successful eBay bidder for some voltage reducers (Runtz) for the 6 volt gauges; they arrived as well. Will need to get a stouter one for the horn!

Was the successful eBay bidder and received today an original horn to replace the fully rusted-out one that came with the truck. Works great! Needs to be painted and installed with the voltage reducer.

That's it for now! Enjoy your holiday!

Jim
