Shrunken Ned...

Thx,

It's been along time since I had to go buy a tool I didn't have

didn't get much done today. Spent the afternoon at the dog neurologist with dog #1. If that sounds expensive you would be correct.
 
This thing is going to look badass with a leather roof. Gonna emboss anything on it?
 
just got back from getting the leather. gonna dye the leather white on the outside to match the old roof. then use the same color dye for the rest of the leather on the underside
 
yeah, I had the whole 5 gallon bucket thing goin on, you just cant see it in the pic cause of the angle. the tires like 3/4 of an inch off the ground...the back pain is a cancer thing.
 
Mounting tires is fun!

I took this opportunity to teach Mr Knowitall about torque, a torque wrench, how it works and why math is important. Then I let him practice his new found knowledge by torquing in all the bolts. I had him do 15ft lbs and then 30ft lbs twice...You should of seen the look I got when he said he was all done at the first 30ft lbs and I had him go back and do 30ft lbs a second time cause some would be loose. The first 4 were. He couldnt believe I was right.
 
I would of had all 4 tires mounted tonight if I hadn't of gotten a bolt bag filled by some dumb ass China man on a Friday at 5pm...shorted me 2 bolts..so I can't get replacements till tomorrow. I'm counting them as done as far as the list goes.

Those sticky treps are the ticket. They fold and grab quite nicely.
