no, no, no David, it's clay bar first, do NOT use prociutto (tho I appreciate that it is gluten free).
It is hot here in PA as well, I just hauled some grasses, butterfly bushes and tree branches to my version of the dump...ie. up the hill...am also hot, sweaty and done for the day. Happy...
Was at a local Ford dealer yesterday and asked about Rangers. None on the lot. Truck guy said they are not taking orders, will be 2024 when open. They open the books for a week or so then they close. Asked about 2023 models, he said very hard to get allocation! Asked about special orders...
Took Pepper ? to a small town nearby for some work (yes I'm supposedly retired but get a call now and then, metallurgical emergency) Hamburg, PA...when finished, ran over to their Ford Dealer, Manderbach (like the Seinfeld episode, cupcake?)...WOW, nice row of 10 Bronco's!!! A beautiful...
Pepper ? and I ran to Frederick, MD today, to pick up some foundry patterns being donated to the local industrial museum. When we got there and saw all the stuff the guy wanted gone, I said.. we're gonna need a bigger truck! But we loaded what we could, thank you bed extender, and even the...
Yup, but for me, that's an accident waiting to happen! I do love a good sledgehammer, actually my high school nickname, sledgehammer/shellhammer...whatever! But when that cast iron fractures and goes flying, no telling where it lands...my pointer finger-nail is just starting to grow back in...
Another volunteer Tuesday at the industrial museum in Bethlehem, PA. A call went out for someone with a truck to pick up 2 bathtubs being donated for us to melt down in our cupola demo runs. Hand went up, and Pepper to the rescue. Off to Allentown (cue the Billy Joel song, again). The tubs...
Yeah, I've seen them on a few Fords. I suspect just for minor insulation from engine compartment heat, which is bad for batteries. They have no part in holding down the battery. This is "felty", some are "puffy". Probably cost 10 cents, so they delete them. That 10 cents paid for @P. A. Schilke...
Mine came with the nice, warm & toasty battery blanket. I also got the factory hood struts...and oem brake fluid, washer fluid, and cold air intake snorkel. Ford also gave me the much sought after upgraded engine cooling package, (aka engine cover delete) at no extra charge. ?
Yup, I salvaged it from up near the crane run before they demo'd the building.
Tell City is right on the river, pretty low...scared me when I saw the flood gates that were open at the levee. If you ever go there, the Pour Haus is a must...went thru Louisville on the way, traffic nightmare!
