Well, Pinto is still where it was. I have however bought 4 decent casters (4 inchers I think, I forgot already) from HF to use to make the Pinto rollable versus dragging it. Plan is to mount the casters on some 2x6s I have and mount them to the car somewhere and use the Ranchero to pull it forward. Only need to move it about 8 or 10 feet. Going to try to get that done this weekend. I still haven't taken the welding table out of the box, hard to believe it's been over a month now since I got it.
At least I did get a new barbecue grill assembled. Haven't used it yet though.
I didn't get the "grill" gene or something, but I don't enjoy cooking outside. I do better inside. I am better at things that have instructions (recipes) than things that take more of a feel. One reason I don't play much bass guitar. I can play the notes if they are written, but I don't have the "feel for the rhythm" I even had to look that word up for spelling.
I am going to try to make the frame for the fuel cell and battery. I feel the need to burn something, so it might as well be metal. Better than the house I suppose. I can at least do the basic frame, I am still not sure how I am going to mount it to the car.
I do know the basic frame layout, but might have to have the cell partially above the floor, depends on how far it sticks below. Fuel cell dragging on the ground might be a bad idea. Pintos already have a bad reputation for fires.
Been trying to sell the extra stuff one last time. The stock rear, the stock front suspension/brakes, gas tank, etc. Thinking it will be going to scrap however. I need to clean up the place quite a bit and this stuff is not helping. Probably have a snake living under the pile.
I've found several people who will come and take it for free. I was going to take it to a scrap place and get some cash, but I would have to do a lot of work to most of it before they will take it, and it just isn't worth the limited amount of money I would get for it.
Too bad no one locally seems to have any interest in all that stuff. I would pretty much give it away to someone who could use any of it. HINT-HINT!
The way I have been feeling I am wanting to just scrap the whole thing, but honestly that wouldn't make me feel any better. It's paid for, and if I ruin it by learning to weld on it at least hopefully I will have learned enough to make it not a complete loss.
Thanks,
Russ
