Wire 5 Project
Good day all. I thought it was time to start a journal of sorts to chronicle my restoration of the 44 Chev that I have. Hopefully it will turn into a wire 5 someday.... Some of the pictures may have appeared in another story, but I thought that I would start the story in order, and a picture is worth a thousand words.... so here goes:
The "I gotta have that rusty truck" disease spreads like any other ... with an ad, of course, and not just any ad, one right here on this site..and before you know it... BANG! your infected.

Bad news
Craig the news (good or bad) is that the disease you have been infected with, is as far as I can tell, a terminal one.

Now. A short, (ya short my #ss), time later and a little prep work, this appeared out of the dust!! I keep reminding myself that it ran extremely well befor I started, so I will probably not be able to make it go as I have removed the stuff that probably made it run so smooth.... ha ha ha.
I have been working on the frame getting it ready for repair and paint. I have to drop the transfer case to get to an area where I have to fix a couple of things. I will get a couple of pictures of that..... a little later....

Cracked you say!
Well not me,... although sometimes I wonder,...
but the next phase is to complete the areas that need welding repairs, more specifically a couple of spots on the frame. The first one is just in front of the rear spring hanger. and the second is not too far from that just by the transfer case. Hopefully this weekend I will have the transfer case removed so I can get a better look. Just a question, will I have to remove the spring hanger, given the cracks close proximity to it?
