As per ODSS SOP, showtime will be Friday the 17th. This is not far away, so let's start rogering up for those who plan to attend.

What time are people showing up? I've got some projects that I could use help on while the gang is here. I've got a torn biceps muscle where it attaches in my shoulder, so I'm limited on what I can do. Looks like surgery coming up, but I'm holding out.
The projects can be done at night, if time permits. If not, no big deal. Everything would be in a heated shop. I've got the '52 frame in the garage and the cab in the shop. It would be nice to get my new kingpins in and maybe a third member. If anybody wants to practice sheetmetal replacement, I've got what you need!
Looking forward to some junkyard op's with the Brethren.
George | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,877 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,877 | Either Thursday evening or Friday morning early suits me.
I'd like to fetch some more of that belting to go over my air compressor if it's available and we have time either before or after everything.
Grigg | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,189 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,189 | George, I'm riding with Roache...ETA... Will your King Pin bushings need to be reamed? If so you'll need reamers on hand. Mike B | | | | | Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 559 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 559 | Mike.B, Gotta drop Kayla at daycare in Clements at 10 after 6 am, We can pull out just about 6:30 am. We need the okey dokey from the rest of the crew for definite launch times.
| | | | | Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 443 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 443 | Grigg- Plenty of belting available.
Mike B.-Not sure about the reamer. I haven't taken the old kingpins out yet.

George 1/2 ton needs no reamer. larger than 1/2 ton I may have a reamer to suit. I've also got some loctite 660 if you want to fix 1/2 ton bushings in the spindles, I feel this is an improvement over the stock full floating design. Grigg | | | | | Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 443 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 443 | Sounds good Grigg. This is a 1/2 ton, so we should be good to go.
George | | | | | Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 443 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 443 | After going back through the pages, it looks like we've got 9 ODSS members coming to the Winter Classic.

Cold and windy here, but no snow. Just got back from my morning stroll through the woods with the dogs and it's about 15 degrees out... feels good.
