That's the best you can do?

Moving will ruin your life, then it gets better. I've finally got the new garage into some working order. Now its time to fix the poor truck. About a week before we moved I figured I better look her over since I planned on using her to move. Well, things weren't great. I was introduced to tranny fluid and coolant, an amazing combo. 

It seems the tranny cooler sprung a leak. What a freakin mess! So, of course a radiator for a 1966 F100 is around 400 bucks. I'm cheap so after some research I figured out a substitute that bolted right up and cost $120 new. Plus there is room now to mount an A/C condenser. The next part of Peggys saga is the actual move. We moved 40 miles away so there were a number of fully loaded high speed trips. The last trip with a huge load in the back I decided to stick my foot in it and pass some knucklehead that was crawling along. After a loud and successful pass I let off the gas and poof, giant cloud of smoke. Well, I pulled off and saw tranny fluid everywhere. Keeping in mind it was the last load and I was only 2 miles away I finished the trip. She made it into the drive then puked all over the place. So there she sat for the last 3 weeks. With no money to fix her but time on my hands without the commute I decided to finally paint the wheels.

I tried out the Dupli-Color premixed lacquer. I figure for $20 a can and not needing a large quantity this would be a good time to try it. I used my cheapo Harbor Freight gun. I shot white with Cloud Nine white flake. The paint was pretty easy to work with, decent coverage. I'm going to use it on other parts of the truck.

So ugly

No, I didn't take my time for prep.

Primer

White base color

Finished

I'll install them tomorrow and take some after pics. Flake is a bitch to capture on film. This is a quicky job so don't judge my crappy prep and mask. Next is a lime green pinstripe on the lip and bullet center caps.

Ah shit time to move!

So, my spring plans have been crumpled up and tossed into the can. No shooting paint, no mechanical mayhem, no fun aloud. We have decided to move off the hill. Found a great old house in a great part of town. Hope the neighbors don't get pissed at the sound of hammer on metal or the compressor. The upside is no more 80 mile commute! I won't have to just keep the old cars running I can actually make them better. If you have ever relied on old vehicles to take you far on a daily basis you know how much time and energy is spent just keeping them alive. Well, I won't have internet for a few days so I won't update, your crushed I can tell by the silence. Lord how will I keep up with whats cool? Will Pendletons go out of fashion, will flake be so last week, oh crap?! I guess I'll be the new retro. Ok that last was stupid but I am a little frustrated to see my life be co-opted by the cool kids. I hope they get bored and move on soon. Gotta go pack the garage.
