Dtret Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Indy 500. Under red flag now. Could be interesting finish with the top three drivers needing fuel to finish. By the time this loaded we’re under second red flag 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted May 31, 2023 Author Share Posted May 31, 2023 So all that remains of my immediate family flew in for the weekend, except my sister. Long tiring time. All have left except mom who flies out Thursday. But I did get some things accomplished. They tore apart my chevelle to find out if it’s was a true Super Sport, no luck either way. Remember the paperweight 71 carb I had rebuilt and was useless? The one I took back 3 times because it wasn’t right and I ended up buying a Holley for it? My brother tore it down and found a clogged vacuum port internally. Put in on the car and it runs awesome. ( I get a modification point back, lol). Next I found a deal on a big sandblasting cabinet so we went to check that out on Monday. Got it …FREE. Vac set up and everything. But wait there’s more. Shot peening cabinet, regular part’s washer, rotating heated parts washer and a whole pickup load of misc shop stuff. I got all for 200 bucks. ( the guy paid 8 grand for the heated parts washer). This is the only picture I took. Good weekend all around. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Peters Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 WOW Dennis, I don't know how you fall into these deals, lucky, right place right time or are you paying much more but wouldn't want the wife to know what you really paid. Now that the congrats and Kudo's are filed I want to comment on one other thing... You have a brother??? So there are two of you roaming this globe. So Scary.... Does he like banana's too? rob 🍌🍌 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. Second. I actually have two older brothers and sister. So yep. At least two more ambulance chasers running around. And if you think I’m bad they’re 10 times worse. Third. Not sure about the bananas, the subject never came up. Lol. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted May 31, 2023 Author Share Posted May 31, 2023 On the blaster deal, I actually misunderstood him and handed him three hundred bucks. He gave me back a hundred because the sand blaster was free. He’s closing his small shop in a year or two and said that I can have first crack on anything including the lift. Hmmm 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Peters Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Now you are going to have to build a new huge garage like Joe's to set up a nice shop in. Nice score Dennis. One of the nice things is that older stuff was built to last!!! The stuff you can buy today would not last like those. rob 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 It’s getting to the that point. I’m going to have to build something just to move around. lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted June 10, 2023 Author Share Posted June 10, 2023 So my trailer load seems to have paid off. 200 bucks for all of it. I completely restored the sandblasting cabinet, new glass replaced all electrical components. The dust collector works well now too. Have to do a little more but it does the job. Do you realize how hard it it to take pictures of parts on the floor and not get my feet? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 That's ok Dennis you can get your feet in the picture 🤣 that just gives us another reason to tease you. That cabinet game out great and looks like it works good too, control arm looks great too. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Dennis will handle all of your sandblasting needs. The cabinet came out great AND it did an amazing job om the A-arm. rob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
