I had my eye on a new double bitted axe head, supposedly never had a handle in it but it got bid up to $560. before I dropped out, would have been sweet but not at that price. Blenkhorn Chief, not many floating around anymore. The big one you have looks interesting.
That blue line will hold up to some real nasty stuff, my buddy uses that line on printing presses that get some nasty stuff put through them to wash the ink off the print plates and drums. Stuff smells like acetone and lacquer thinners mixed, very volatile and eats rubber gloves for breakfast.

Had a pretty good day today.....got the rear cross member made and fit.....holes cut for wiring and spare tire winch Welded the whole mess in and reached a good stopping point.....then replaced both crank seals in the OH26....passed the pressure/vav tests with flying colors.....new OEM impulse line and 260 fuel line.....as Jerry said step drill is just the ticket to overbore the tank hole.....new air filter......would have completed the whole saw project but found a broken clutch spring when I removed it to change the crank seal.......went scrounging ebay for springs.....ended up buying a perfect as new looking OEM clutch for $12.99 delivered.....springs were $3-5 apiece and $3-4 shipping...cheeper to buy the whole thing and not mess with shoehorning springs on.....

It's coming along Jimmy....tomorrow I drop the tank and see what that is hiding......then cut out for the forward cross member. You can see from this truck what we're up against here with the **** they put on the roads......this is the first vehicle I've ever had where the frame gave out before the original exhaust system........Maine is a "Truck" state.....they bring premium prices......used southern/southwestern truck are like gold.......literally....
Would sell up here in a heartbeat .

Good looking job Robin! Our roads kill a vehicle about the same as yours do, rust out is a big problem, only undercoating keeps them a bit longer.
How did he break the crank!!?????!!

Thank Jerry.......just iron carpentry 'zall......LOL!!!
Once I'm done, I'm gonna take the needle scaler to her.......jitter as much rust as I can out/off it, then a serious coat of brush applied red rustoleum then shoot black top coat followed by two coats of "Fluid Film".....that may buy me enough time to get the daughter out of college....couple more years.....engine be just about broken in by then....but that'll be all that's left........and the worn out tires.....rust never sleeps....

Ahem.......that's kinda personal ain't it?.....
Been a rust rebuilder almost all my life, comes natural up here. Welded a whole lot of frames and actually grafted many rear frames to front half frames, gotta be good at it now to get them past vehicle inspection.

Dan/Jerry...that saw should be showing up at Dan's shop. Can you look it over and give me the low down about it?
I have gone through plenty of them, no AV and just a rough all around saw. My good friend in Nfld. bought a new one in the mid 70`s, they were a step up from the XL12`s.
Leave it there fer the next pore . LOL
