$500- 68 charger

[daytona kid]

I thought I mentioned previosly what I was using for these tight slightly rusty areas, but I tried to look back and could not find it. This stuff works great but goes quick, the big can will empty in about 20 seconds., but you can get to some really tight spots. I think it is a zinc-chromate type rust killer., like used a lot in aluminum aircraft. Insert the tube, twirl it as you spray and pull it. Nozzle sprays 4 different directions, tube is a couple ft long. And best of all, if you clean the nozzle after you run out of the Eastwood you can use it with $.88 Wallmart paint.

Man I tell you what, you need to name that dog Hollywood..lol Sure does love the Photo Opp's. As always, working is looking great kid.

 

[daytona kid]

That's actually 2 different dogs in those last 2 pics. I have 4 so chances of 1 in a pic is hi. They enjoy staying near me but they have to go in the house during welding so they don't go blind.
Sissy wants to go for a ride already.

 

[daytona kid]

Lip patch welded. Now I'll cut most of it off.

Old time toys lol. I hate to admit i remember those! Getting old sucks lol

 

[daytona kid]

This is hard for me to even put into words and I hate to be a Debby downer. Tears stream down my face as I type this. My world was shattered a couple of hours ago. My sweet beloved Sissy, star of this thread, was laying in the yard lifeless when I came home this evening. She is gone. It seems so odd that she has been the topic here lately and probably brought a smile to some cyber faces. She was the sweetest one in the group and this breaks my heart. It is a mystery to me as to why she died. I thought it might be poison but I never had any complaints about my pups. She was around 15 years old but very healthy and active chasing moles, etc. She had been putting on a little weight, maybe she had a heart attack. They all leave us and we know that but this was totally unexpected. I love you Sissy and I will see you again someday and we'll play frisbee.

I am so sorry to hear about sissy. From the photos, she looked like she was in good health. I hope she did not have any pain when she past

 

[daytona kid]

I thought she was very healthy. I don't think she was in pain, she was laying like she was asleep. No signs as to any struggle. She would sometimes play with sticks while rolling on her back. Maybe a chunk of one got in her windpipe. It bothers me to not know why but I guess I will have to except that.

 

[Homstead]

Oh man that really sucks! I`ve been through that myself with my dogs and it hurts alot. My old boy is currently 13 but he`s getting there too. I`m not looking forward to that day. Anyway goodluck with the project! It looks great! Again I`m sorry to hear about Sissy.......

 

[daytona kid]

I really appreciate the kind words from you guys. This is my last post about this tragedy and I'll get back to the car, to help my mind. I laid Sissy to rest today, beside Sam and Sue. I said a little prayer for her and I walked away sobbing. I looked back and this is what I saw. I can't put into words what I thought but it was a good feeling and I smiled.

Daytona kid, I'm so sorry to hear about Sissy's passing, you have my deepest heartfelt condolences, I know how much I love my dog & you seem to be a dog lover too, especially having 4 of them... I'm dreading the day my 15+ y/o chocolate lab "Lord Budnicks of U--" aka Buddy, Budnicks, brown dog, big brown turd, Dodge, speed bump, goof, pest, among others, it won't be the same when he is not with me, he's been with me, pretty much 24/7, he goes with me everywhere I go no matter what, even follows me to the bathroom, loyal & by my side since I got him as a present, 7 weeks old, he was born the same day "Duke" my old lab died, I got him from my girlfriend, after my 14 y/o Black Lab "Duke" was gone, she said I was moping around too way much... RIP Sissy a loyal companion, remember "all good dogs, go to heaven"
