Clrusty's new ride - WrenchFest Oct 8th

Two sneaky rascals (rredalty and High2by) decided it was time to fix my dented tank/tweaked sending unit while I was burning.....I mean grilling hamburgers.

I need a press, tubing bender, plasma cutter, transmission jack, gear set-up tools, etc still. Plus some racks/shelves to store more parts wouldn't hurt either.

You should have told me this before the crawl. I have a press, if the wife did not sell it, at the house that was given to me. It is a harbor freight this one I think:

I have this one in my shop.

"So someone is bringing a transmission, right?"

Just to give you an idea of some of the guys who helped from left to right: Silas (Empire crewmember), Cottontail, Zinger, trail rate this, Dave92Cherokee, FlexdXJ. This was just a small portion of the huge team that helped build the rig.
 
Dave and Justin repairing some cut wires on the AW4 that was donated by Knox Auto Parts. Dave had brought a complete arsenal of soldering and wiring tools with him. How awesome was that!

You can come pick it up whenever you want. Matt (rredalty said the brakes need to be re-bled. Plus I don't think we did an alignment on it yet.
 
yea he told me he drove it and said the brakes needed to be re bled and that it needed to be aligned. did it do the dw dance when he drove it.?

Matt didn't say anything about it. Matt and trail rate this went on the test drive. Maybe they can chime in and let us know. I guess I could take it for a spin sometime this week to see how it does.
