Quote from: "GPster"That is my work on something hat.

And I was just thinking it was a sentimental attachment of some sort.

One of the guys I work with picked up my Welding hood one day because it was handy and had to tighten it up quite a bit to be able to use it. That got me the nickname of "Buckethead", I guess that puts you in the same category... I just tell them its because of increased cranial capacity and I'm that much smarter than than they are.

This rating thing about babies is newer than both our kids are so I am somewhat surprised by it. The way we understand it 50% is normal and 0% is smallest and 100% is largest. Our grandson is 25% in height, 40% in weight and 95% in head size. Of course I believe that. At 11 months old he can get into more than most people would even think of. GPster

Quote from: "enjenjo"We have some 5 spoke mags for it, with tires donated by charlie Chops 1940. we do need hub centers, one for a keystone spoke mag, push in, and one for an ET 5 spoke, bolt on. Anyone with one or the other, or both? We could also use a wheel adapter, Ford small pattern to Chevy, 4 1/2" to 4 3/4". We only need one.

Would a couple of the American mag plastic* screw on covers work?
These are the ones held on by five sheet metal screws.
They were brand new ten years ago and still looked good when I last looked at them 3-4 years ago.
You're welcome to those as well.

*Pretty sure they're plastic - they could be metal, but not sure.

They would be fine Jay.

Well I remembered that entirely wrong - what they are is a pair of American Wheel plastic center covers that are a push-in for what looks like the standard 3" mag wheel center bore.
They are like new with unblemished plastic "chrome."

Will those work?

I remember 2nd grade quite well - just don't ask me about yesterday.... :cry:

Sorry I'm alittle late in posting some of my photos from the second BBQ build day. Here are a few of my favorites.

For most of the day Gpster was drilling the holes and doing a fine job. For whatever reason PurplePickup decides to "pitch in" with his drilling skills, and, well, this is what we ended up with. Seems he has trouble doing a straight line

HotRodLadyCrusr · May 17, 2004, 10:22:36 PM

THEN, a few inches later.... opps, a hole where one doesn't belong

HotRodLadyCrusr · May 17, 2004, 10:24:49 PM

Dave, then throws his two cents in

HotRodLadyCrusr · May 17, 2004, 10:28:54 PM

Heres a few I took of Dave's 32

HotRodLadyCrusr · May 17, 2004, 10:37:21 PM

A few more

HotRodLadyCrusr · May 17, 2004, 10:52:13 PM

A few more for your viewing pleasure

That should work on one wheel, and I should be able to make an adapter so it will fit the other one.

Hey Fatcat, you aren't going to pick up many women wearing shirts like that...

Or is that the whole idea?

HotRodLadyCrusr · May 18, 2004, 07:26:24 AM

I don't think he was relying on his shirt to pick up women...... I think he was counting on his "Big Sexy" button on his shirt to do that!

We had a discussion during chat about that a few weeks ago. Those are his garage clothes used to cover up Fat Cat's feline alter-ego. That and so he doesn't startle his father when Frank II gets stuck under the dash of a DeSoto. Some people missed it because they think Survivor is real life. GPster

Ok.
Glad to hear that will work.

I thought I had your address from the heater deal.
Can't find it, but I do have FatCat's from a couple of years ago.
Is that still good?
Or you can email me your address if you would.

I'll try to get them in the mail this morning once I get the address bit figured out.
