Stovebolt.com Forums Welcome! Welcome Centre New here with a '54

Thanks for all the welcoming messages... I checked with the administrators, and they're cool with my project and the blogs, so we're going to keep posting them. Thanks Stovebolt!

Here's the latest - been working on the transmission, the wheel cylinders, and I finally got the wheels blasted, painted, and new tires mounted. I found a couple cool old artifacts under the seat, and I'm getting ready to "install" my new Mexican blanket interior!

I'm glad everything worked out here on the Bolt..
It's great to see you ladies wanting to beat on these trucks by yourself && aren't afraid to not only get dirty but ask questions or for help if needed.

Good luck w/the project & I also like the video you're doing on it.....Joe

The only transmission I ever overhauled without assistance was the 3-speed from a 1942 Harley-Davidson WLC war bike. I did it on my shop bench with the service manual in close attendance. But I know your 3-speed to be a simple, durable unit and there are still millions of them out there in wreckingt yards and old gearbox overhaul shops. When I was 14 I worked in a shop doing nothing but stripping those 3-speeds and washing the parts.

Alright, alright!! Everybody get back to your work stations, pick up either a wrench or a broom and get busy. Nobody's marrying anybody.

Kelle -- Welcome to Stovebolt.com! Scott does know us and I doubt I can really add anything of note to what he said, but if it helps to hear it from us, we're glad to have you and hope you enjoy the site/get something from it. We have checked out your site and it is pretty cool, indeed! A very nice layout and design (an old editor of mine once taught me that when it comes to layout, there's no such thing as plagiarism...), and lots of interesting info.

I won't comment on other sites' issues. I can comment on what happens here, and so far we don't have a problem. Nor do we expect one.

Gang -- we thoroughly appreciate the passion and dedication in keeping Stovebolt.com down-home friendly. In this case, All is well.

Thanks and regards,
John

I still haven't received my ok to join your little v8 club over there farmgirl and frankly I'm beginning to think its personal....hello I'm the one that stuck up for you over here?????
and even though I crossed my fingers when I agreed to your terms of service there was no way of you knowing that

and Big Guy you need to get with Peg and determine how ya'll wanna spell center...center or centre

Gas -- Centre is spelled correctly (at least in every English speaking country I can think of except for the good ole US of A). Just like theatre, metre, centre, colour, whilst, etc. You might want to check the spelling of "sergeant" though ...

Considering it is a *World Wide* Web, and that we have a lot of Canadians, Aussies, Kiwis and Brits using (and contributing) to the site, I thought it would be a nice nod, as it were, to our Commonwealth brethren.

The trucks this site covers may be United States in origin, but the appeal and hobby is literally world wide. And that's a good thing.

And a very happy, if belated, Australia Day to ya, Mate!

Regards,
John

The latest video blog is cool. Good luck. I too agree it's good to see a gal interested in and working on an old Chevy truck.

hey big guy I'm down with the whole multi nationalboltism thing...if you remember the poster contest mine was the only one with all the representative countries flags on it...so there

Yea, I loved all those flags. I loved the whole print!

For those of you wonder what we are talking about, gas did a cool entry for the Poster contest! One of many neat ideas that were sent in.

Wonder if we should have a Poster Contest again. Seems are flourishing artist count on Stovebolt has increased. Hmmmmm
