	Its always nice getting new parts, its like christmas every time a package turns up. I have just had a quick look into getting wide band white wall tires for mine. But to be honest I like the look better than the price, there not cheap. Don't think I'll be ordering any anytime soon. lol

	Thought the welder was working and on my first arc I struck, it struck out again..... Was planning on practicing some panel welding. Went shopping with Nicola on Sunday to distract her a bit, found this ornament in a shop for £3.00. Needs one propeller to be remade and dome head screws to be fitted. Got to be a good enough alternative to a regular hood ornament. I have bid on a couple, but once you add the postage from the USA it becomes a bit silly.

	Tried the hood ornament on to get an idea of what it will look like. Still very much in two minds. Also bought a 4 ton, short bottle jack from Machine Mart for the truck last weekend. £15.00 well spent, as long as you have a tyre spanner on the day. Tonight I also bought a steel grille from a '66 which I may just have to use on my truck, as mine is a bit damaged. Just need to get it collected at Beccles in Suffolk and brought back here.

	WOOOOTTT !!! Along with the steel grille I bought off Ebay, the seller is throwing in a knackered one that will be used to experiment with once I have straightened it out. Grilles being collected tomorrow by mate Henry "51Rider" who is off to fix his parents' electrics in their home. I will pick them up on Monday from his house in Romford. Actually really pleased and excited at this point.

	Well, another forum buddy, Henry "51Rider" picked up the grilles and then brought them home to his place where I collected them before work today. The Ebay seller under described the grille he was selling and the free one he threw in. They were both much better than expected. Check the pic and let me know what you think. This is driving my head mad (well, it was mad before) made by McMurphy up in North Pole Alaska, where they have great creativity held captive...... 67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/attachment.php?attachmentid=1192260&d=1388267707 The "free" ally grille is in better condition than the one on my truck, and the new steel one is spotless, so I suspect the ally one on the truck may just be headed for modification. There are a few dents and the major one, not easy to see in this pic, where the "E" may have hit a fence post and then been repaired with a ball pein hammer. So there you go...... more thinking to be done.

	I liked the aircraft in the shop its a cool thing. I think id have bought that! On the truck it looks ok??? But just ok. Unless you used to fly one It might look better with some wooden propellers all along or now with your new skills some whittled out of concrete

	Must say i agree about the plane not quite suiting the truck. I think the isuue is not whether the plane suits the truck - it does, but whether a redneck would put one on his express - he wouldn't. As i think about being in the south and seeing trucks, the only hood ornament you might <might> see is a Mac Bulldog. I would just keep it clean.

	Well, sometimes the smallest victories are the sweetest. I have been looking for a large truck brake drum or wheel rim to use as a base to a mobile vice stand, like Kiwi Kev on Garage Journal made. Went in to a haulage company this week to ask about one (no success) but then saw their neighbour was a large engineering shop. So rang the number from my mobile while outside as no one responded to me ringing the gate bell, and had someone come open up.... he could not help, but I had my eyeballs in their skip and saw a lump of steel which I asked for..... he said, yes take it. So now I have that little piece of steel you sometimes need to hammer a bit of metal straight on.

	Well, got me a parcel in the post this week from America.....Thanks Ta2Don. Postage alone was $97.80 which included the $17.10 cost from Top Banana to Donz place in Arkansas. So what was in the box were two inner fender supports as mine is rotten, a pair of fender repair panels and for Martin a paid of cab corners for his build. Had to do a quick test fit with the welding magnets.... Expecting Martin here later to collect these..... The cup was a £1.00 charity shop find by Nicola for his work van, as customers pee him off regularly. It is a rather LARGE but exactly what you need on a job out there..... Just to put this in perspective, the two panels Martin ordered cost him £51.00 or $85.00 landed. Panels themselves were $13.00 each.

	even over here, shipping is expensive for even the cheapest aftermarket repair panels...I guess it is what it is! JP
	I know its spelled Norman Luxury Yacht, but its pronounced Throat Wobbler Mangrove!
