took the covers off the seat frames today to get ready for upholstry and got a nasty surprise. All rot .fortunatly it s not a huge problem to whip up a new set. Started by making a bending jig then bent 6 layers of 4 mil waterproof marine ply,then cut out the other parts out of half inch, should be done by the weekend but this damn farming is starting to cut into my boat working time   

I think I might be open to the idea of a VAT
                           IF  income taxes, estate taxes, etc. were abolished.    I am sick and tired of being taxed everytime I make money.  This government was founded on the idea of encouraging people to make wealth, not founded to be able to profit from and indeed punish the increase of personal wealth.
     Definately a fight that I see coming down the road for the USA too farmergord   

We have no estate taxes but we get it up the ass on everything else. Farmers are luckier than the general working man we can claim back all HST on our input costs but it is a lot of paperwork about like filing a quarterly tax return

pinched or partially blocked fuel line?

looks great 

Well Ive asked everyone else I know so I might as well add your opinions to the mix What cam would you guys reccommend for my stock 460 ,stock cast heads , stock bore ,750 cfm Holley carb, Performer intake. Also looking for the best gasket set .I hate oil leaks and want a set that will cause the least trouble, any and all suggestions appreciated

doesnt sound like much if you say it fast

one of my favorites and if I could have figured out how to do it i might have attempted it

well after 6 weeks of not touching the boat we finally found time today to get back to it. time to practise doing flames on an old hood I sprayed blue when I did the boat. My artist wife layed them out her first ever attempt, then we sprayed them yellow then she hilighted with orange but she left her airbrush at school so had to use my touchup gun . Cant get as fine a spray with it so will refine technique on the boat. she wasnt happy with the end so she tried to cover it up when i snapped the picture. Also stripped the old seat frames and started to build new ones as the old are to rotten .Tomorrow the block goes to the machine shop so that process can begin. Finally some new progress.

you are a nasty boy!!!

My 7.3 has 160,000 n lets just say im not the nicest to the truck n the only problem ive had was the tranny, but ive seen plenty o stock trannys go out after 100,000 behind a stock motor. I have a custom tuned chip, intake and exhaust and stage 1 injectors n i would never even think of owning a 6blow (no offense to 6.0 owners haha) My good buddy is just hitting 500,000 in his 7.3 as i write this and its been chipped since 200,000, just tranny problems. Just my .02 might not mean much but me n a couple buddies have been through it all with these 7.3s. The Dmax is a good truck minus the IFS junk front end, and the cummins is a great motor but the dodge truck just doesnt doit for me. I live in a small town n diesels are  more popular than any other form of transportation n theres eveything here and every truck has its problems.

the last sentence gets it right all trucks have good points and all have problems
