For those who follow the BillyBob story, a new Work-in-Progress log entry "Starting with Confidence" has been posted. It includes glove box installation and cab detailing along with a new ringgear for BillyBob's flywheel and a new clutch install. There's also a sidetrip to the Barrett-Jackson auction in West Palm Beach.


Starting with Confidence

Another interesting, educational maybe ,and lite(Get the spelling?)hearted Billy Bob adventure.Thanks.But,Larry have you ever thought about wearing gloves to avoid that skinned,grease packed,hand deal? I know, gloves are confining,but I'm not referring to the NASCAR approved ones. I use disposable Nitrile gloves that are tough to cut(bad with lacquer thinner though) that I buy for 3 bucks/100 on sale in the Harbor Freight store.Well worth the money.Try 'em.

Thanx, Drew

I got the gloves but, in the heat of battle, I often forget to wear 'em. Just like not putting goggles on until I get a bit of dirt in my eye. I always wear protection where a grinder or high speed wire brush is involved. I have learned that much.

I find that about every third Harbor Freight nitrile or latex glove rips when I put it on.

I always enjoy your extremly detailed writeups Larry
