responses first:
eric- i gave it a good once over with my handy dandy scraper, but i'm eventually gonna pull the whole thing for paint. as for the grill i'm not sure yet.
danL- thankyou for posting your positive input {otherwise i wouldn't believe it}. and sorry about the dark areas as i have him in backwards and out from under my shop lights. that and like eric i seem to do most of my work between 11pm and 3am.

it seems whenever i want to do something a ton of other shit pops up. i pressure wash garbage tucks early sunday morings to score a few extra bucks so i can't spend a lot of time out here tonight. also, i'm makin our lunch for tomorrow. we, my uncle and i, usually bbq when we finish and tend to alternate on who brings what. tomorrow is me i'm bringing meatloaf and smashed taters. yum!
2 lbs ground sirloin
1 cup catsup
1 cup italian bread crumbs
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tblsp brown sugar
2 tblsp minced garlic
2 eggs beaten
salt and pepper to taste
preheat oven to 350 degrees
mix all ingredients
mush half into a baking pan thing and sprinkle mozzerella all over
use other half of meat concoction to cover all the cheese and fill the pan
place in oven and run to the garage.
i got to eyeballin this tube deal. i used some needle nose pliers to bend the tabs on the right side straight out and gave her a little tug. nada, instead my arm slips and i find a new opponent. the cross brace thats welded diagonally across the area ahead of where the radiator sits (pic1). the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expeting different results each time. so yeah, i found out how sharp that damn brace really is. after smoking a cigarette i decided to try a set of linemans pliers instead. totally paid off as the tube slipped out nicely on the first tug. but seeing that he tube is almost as long as my pecker, i almost immediately run into the cross member (pic2). some thinking and i used one hand to twist the brace and the other to slide the tub. but now the grill, which i didn't remove. beause i have a deluxe the grill has a center piece. so i put a little pressure on it with my foot while twisting and sliding above. packard twister anyone? the tube easily slid out and immediatly barfed a rust snowcone on the ground. it was indeed clogged, but only by 1/4 inch on the very back end(pic3). i would stay and clear itout but it's been about an hour and my meatloaf needs attention.
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tblsp brown sugar
mix together and coat top of loaf
place back in oven for additional 10-15 mins.
while i have a few more minutes i decide to clean my nuts. they are quite rusty an dirty(pic4). whilst cruising the isles of a local autoparts store i found a "new to me" product. rust evaporator sounds quite interesting. i usually use CLR but this is worth a shot(pic5). more on this later as my meatloaf is ready(pic6).
