Some progress pics

Hey all, I know how everyone loves pics so I took some. I cleaned my frame and rear axle and painted them. Next is front axle and motor. I'm pretty happy about my driveway rattlecan job, paint always looks nice! R)

Nice! That's gotta suck, though, working outdoors in the gravel like that.

A-10 crew chief, huh? I'd love to watch one of those workin' out at a range!

 

Yeah they're awesome, only bad thing is by about this time next year all of ours will be gone because of the realignment crap.

 

Looks great.i can tell you spent some time on it . what brand of paint are you using. good job.

A-10 as in the Warthog? That is the coolest plane in the world! Lucky guy.

 

Just using Krylon right now. If I had the money I'd get it sandblasted and painted but eh, just trying to get it going so I can have fun

 

It's funny that the A-10 was almost mothballed, now they can't live without them. I'm kinda surprised there hasn't been a comparable replacement developed, besides the Apache anyway.

 

Its nice to know there is another person from CT here. Thats just about the same thing i want to do. As soon as i get home from school at the end of the week ill be pulling the body off and cleaning stuff.

 

WOW, a 390 in a jeep. I would bet you could get some huge $$$$ for that from the AMX guys. I am also a big fan of the A-10s. I did battle damage repair school at Davis Monthan in Tucson. Got to watch the A-10s. Awesome! I was also a 43191 AFSC. I think they have changed the designators now. I was in A/R shop, only did the Crew Chief work for 11 months. Worked the heavies, B-52s, B1Bs, KC135s, C17s, would have loved to play with the little ones.

 

oughta be fun, keep us posted

 

Why how much money do you think I could get? And yeah the A-10s are awesome. I'm in the ANG and was down at DM early 2004.

 

I don't know if anyone is still reading this but since I took the pics before I have painted the motor AMC blue and installed a new HEI distributor. With that in the motor finally started up so now I can start on the tub!!! Wish it wasn't raining outside though

 

Got the tub on, with a little hacking since the holes didn't line up, don't know why. All I need now is just to finish bleeding the brakes, dial in the carb, get new tires and we're off!!! R)
