hobospyder Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Either one would be bad ass. I've thought about that for my garage too. But mine would need a ton of prep work due to cracks and shit. There is only one expansion join and the floor is wavey fuck. I might just get some cement sealer and call it good.I got cracks and waves and cat piss. Not very happy with all that and the fact that it's red. Just trying to come up with something different I think Link to comment
hobospyder Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Made it out to the shop yesterday and started poking around Wheel dollies, some assembly required On the dollies, now where do I want her? This looks like a good spot Perfect. Started working on getting the fuel tank back in place but got frustrated on top of the life issues I was trying to avoid (misbehaving six year old) Wheels And good night little miss Going to have to get toolbox back on his Jack stands so I can trace and cut fuel lines 2 Link to comment
hobospyder Posted March 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 fuel and reservoir tanks installed. need to go to the parts house and pick up filler hose again because the tube i bought has too small of an inner diameter. outer diameter is the same but the walls are a lot thicker on the new stuff so it didn't go on and was pissing me off. also need hose clamps for the filler hose. don't know if i bought them before and if i did buy them what i did with them. lost in the move if they were bought. stupid hobo 1 Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Went back out to the shop and did second coat on the top side and since it was raining built a makeshift shelter for it so it didn't get wet And then while poking around out there I found out the lights under the loft work. So much brighter Need to get around to finish cleaning the whole shop and start working on getting it water proof. Then electrical starts and rewalling Those likes make it so much more inviting. :cool: 1 Link to comment
hobospyder Posted March 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Those likes make it so much more inviting. :cool: it was the dark scary corner to be avoided but now i have a truck in there and it will be used as a spray booth at some point in the future. currently engine teardown and gas tank installation area. should get a picture of what i did with the work bench but i haven't been down there since yesterday and don't know if i'll make it out there tomorrow. need to though, crank shaft and pistons are calling my name 1 Link to comment
hobospyder Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 got the fuel filler hose installed, and drove to the gas station to fill it up. was nice to actually pull up to a gas pump and fill instead of having a gas can in the bed of the truck was going to try to use her for yard work, gonna have to figure out a different way of moving the piles of tinder in my yard to a central location closer to the shop where i'm going to have a burn pit eventually 1 Link to comment
hobospyder Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 it seems i killed all my pictures in the process of organizing my photobucket better. oh well. it'll get figured out eventually, if not link to little miss' album if anybody cares enough: http://s1261.photobucket.com/user/fantomhobo1/library/my%20datto/620\ seriously thinking i'm going to take the engine i purchased for toolbox and his tranny (five speed) and drop them into little miss when i get the engine done. keep the l16 and rebuild and put it off to the side, or the go-kart...... don't want to use/lose the l16 because it's numbers matching for little miss. just need money for the engine work, crank shaft and pistons/rings and what not. also a cherry picker is needed (will be purchased eventually). toolbox is back back burner and will eventually be worked on, really not sure when. 1 Link to comment

hobospyder Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Hell yes ! a gas tank ! :thumbup: , Now you can farther than a few miles without having to fuel up . next up, pinion seal. might drop the whole rear end to clean and paint but i don't think i really want to do all the wiring just yet. might just do pinion seal and try to button it up for canby. gonna have to swap the carb again though i think. 38 is way too much 1 Link to comment

hobospyder Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Happy hobo day One more piece to the puzzle. Flex-thru came in the mail. Only reason I'm not installing today is because I'm worn out from work and it's almost dinner time and I'm pretty damn hungry. 3 Link to comment

That started my love for small trucks , which eventually led me to my first 620 .she likes going for rides with me. Wish I had little miss today we would go for a drive. Hoping to get her interested in cars so we can work on them together as she gets older. But there's no way she's getting this one. 1 Link to comment
