Way to put that rocket back together! DanO "MAD SKILLS"Hobbs

Looks A++ Dano, I remember what happened last year w/the Lawn Jockey,Tweety looked new compared to what you are going to look like AGAIN. The Lamp boy is a BADD MF

Dano ! My hat is off to you Bud ! I would ahve spent at least a week crying about the car..and then thought about bringing her back to Glory ! But your not only fast on the track..your also fast as hell getting back at her off the track ! She's a looking good Bro ! You'll be stylin again in no time...

Dan,
The car is looking good. I am serious about the front wheels, you want them just send me your address and they are yours. T-bird robin egg blue light special ............ I will never end up using them and you look like you could they are yours bud. I seem to remember you sending me a spare set of roller lifters for the Galaxie, so it's my turn to return the favor.

Dan,

KY Jelly told me about the wall kissing deal. I am sorry to hear about it. Kepp up the good work, and if you need anything I might have, let me know.

I can't get the BG400 pump to quit leaking...It's leaking out of the adjustable pressure return..Looks like it's leaking around the o-ring ,but it may be cracked...anybody got a junk pump I could get one off of? The o-ring is real thick,,,nothing I've got is close ,I'll try the parts house in the morning

Dan, I have K's of 0 rings of all size's, but don't have a clue what size YOU need.

Well....bring em all down here in the morning and we'll see if any fit ??

How she's coming DanO??

Slow and painful Big D!! It was tore up pretty good I got some primer on it just a few minutes ago ,got the new wheels mounted and balanced...waiting on a fuel pump too....Hope fully Wednesday night me and Fulp will be drinking a few cold ones about midnight at Beech Bend [img][/img][img][/img][img][/img][img][/img]

Nice progress Dan. Looking good!

glad too see it coming back together nicely

The King a workin' mofo...........

This frickin heat up here has been killer for bodywork the last week.Humidity has been out of sight I was hoping to be done friday of last week...but Shit Happens as Forrest Gump said

Ok Dan-o,
It looks fine.....but you must press on. The gates open early Thursday AM......
Here is the bait. No "Bird".....= No Beer = No Ice Cream! So you gotta get it done.
Primer will be fine. That gives it character. Plus, maybe people will pay attention to MY car this year, if yours is in prime!
I know you will make it. I will wait outside the gate for you.

I'll be there with fresh paint on it or my name is not Freddie J. Fudpucker III and when we find Gerry(I mean the lawn jockey) it's on!!!

Lookin Good Dano

Lookin good dan, hell i was gonna offer to come up thursdsy and help but it looks like you'll be making passes by then. lol

Dan, just take the bypass valve off and put a gate valve in the line somewhere. Adjust the pressure with the lever to where you want it, then remove the lever to keep from accidently bumping it. That is what I did with mine to get the pressure and flow I wanted.

I got the bypass fixed and put it back on ,ran it for a few minutes . Everything was fine took a break and came back ,it was leaking around shaft seal!! I'm going to send it back for a rebuild. I don't have time to run all over the place trying to find a seal ,so I ordered a new pump.Suppose to be here tomorrow. 4am and I'm gonna go block sand this thing and shoot another coat of primer, hopefully have color on it this afternoon??

Go Daddy Go !!

Dan – Good move buying a new one. My BG 400 started leaking a couple months back. I shipped it back and they rebuild it, put it back on and it leaked from the same dang place. I just broke down and ordered me a new Aeromotive pump after that. Car is coming around nicely!
