I dunno Jerry.......he seems kinda....frantic.....
Actually he`s waiting for me to pick up the phone, then he will wrestle me for it, dang cat is strong!
Oh, and he will bite also if things get real heated and he figures things are not going well for him....LOL

No such thing as a fair fight...
True dat. He will use whatever god gave him to win a fight, just nature but he`s got a real nice temperament and has to be provoked to get rough.
Dang liquid falling,won`t completely clear up, almost see the sun and then clouds up and drizzles. Guess its that way for most of today.
Got the tire mounted on the backhoe,thanks Dan.

Today I'll be finishing up in the engine compartment on the miserable device......had to order the top radiator hose....old one was really soft/squishy......had to replace the power steering return line yesterday...wasn't leaking but was badly dried out and cracked.......much easier to replace this kind of stuff here with the NAPA store a haff mile away......rather than a 10 mile ocean trip each way. The NAPA store in Stonington is right at the head of the fisherman's dock so at least that's handy.....once you get there......they will also send parts down on the mailboat if the call is made at the right time.
After the rest of mechanicals installed then time to sort out the 'lectrics......gonna end up with a huge pile of torn out
/cut off and capped wires/plugs.....only need 7 wires to operate everything......got about a hundred....may get onto the exhaust system today......hope so......once that is built I can try a startup......Comp cams directs me to break the cam/lifters in as per their directions......at start up immediately run her up to 1500-2000 rpm and run at that rpm steadily for 30 minutes.....shut off...dump oil and filter....refill with fresh oil/new filter and good to go....this part of the project is nearing the end......I hope.....

You could do away with the signal lights,brake lights and even the headlights to save wire n lectricity, save,save save.....LOL

My Uncle Morton had one of those...cast iron str 6! Remember the windshield wiper in the back window as a kid!
Sell the copper,make back some monies!
There is one of these Marlins still rolling around the roads up here,see it most every summer, been re powered with a GM 283 automatic but still unrestored original body, same color and graphics of the one below,
I also know of a guy that had a mint black Marlin, always garage kept and looked after but he stupidly took it to work one day to show it off, he was a bricklayer and the forklift operator on that job managed to tip a full pallet of bricks right off the highest lift position that the off road forklift could reach. The full pallet of brick when right through the roof and back window of that car, sure made a mess of er!
