Deuce was dead on side of the road.

I'll bring orange hand cleaner and recycled rags. Need a 3.5K generator?

Butch brings up a good point. I'm not sure what power is available where we will be. I have a light tower with 3 lights that can light up a 3 to 5 acres. It has a 6KW gen head on it. It's not too loud and could be stationed a touch away or I can add a second muffler to quite it down.
When Ron & I spoke yesterday we discussed how this would start sometime Friday and besides the wrench turners there will probably be someone talking through the process. I have a portable/wearable PA I will pack for that.

I can "see" it now, Wreckerman out there yelling, "they are removing the passenger side engine mount bolt now".




You will want an engine sling.

Know you know but don't forget a good size tarp to place under the truck. Seems like everytime I do something in the dirt I'm spending 15mins. looking for that one nut I droped.

You are lucky when I drop something it evaporates before hitting the ground, never to be found.

Andy3 thank you for breaking your acorn hauler causing this awesome event. Could break your truck every year?

 

[andy3]

Butch, while I appreciate the way God's plan is unfolding lets leave my truck out of it in the future. With the rally's growth and permission I can see this evolving into other mods/resto/crazy builds in the future.

I do believe we could find a new victim next year.
Speaking of next year this would not be a bad thing to pick someone with a problem and use it as teaching program.
And with the collective funding it. It would not be that bad on any single person and would be a great way to pay it forward.

There will be plenty of "nuts" working on the truck!

Does anyone have a wheeled magnetic sweeper? HFT sells them for $40 ($32 if you have a 20% off coupon). This thing comes in really handy for the screws/nuts/bolts/washers/wrenches/screwdriver bits that can't be seen in the dirt or on a tarp filled with debris from the grenaded engine.

 

[andy3]

ODFever, Won't Cousin Eddie's head stick to that thing?

 

[ODFever]

Probably. I'm sure someone will have a pry bar or an axe that we can use to rip it off of his head.

 

[bchauvette]

Maybe the Power(s) to be can list the steps we are going to take and TM references.

I sure Clinto will be passing out the blue gloves, so you have that going for you!

Wait......blue gloves?

 

[phil2968]

He always wears blue exam gloves when working on Deuce's. Kind of like a proctologist. Deuceologist!

 

[phil2968]

Someone has pics I'm sure!

Wait......blue gloves?

So, when I worked for a professional repair shop, one of the good habits I picked up from working around professional technicians was latex/nitrile gloves.

No matter how much you scrub your hands, you can't get them clean after a few days of heavy mechanical work.

My "real" job is a warehouse efficiency consultant, so I occasionally deal with people higher up the food chain and I'd like to present as professional appearance as possible (I even comb my hair on those days! )

Also, a lot of carcinogens in petroleum products. Cancer is bad, mmmmmkay.

Someone has pics I'm sure!

Yupp. Always have gloves!

 

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

BLUE GLOVES are worn at the Funeral Home's Prep-Room as well.

Just sayin'
