There are lots of choices out there, one of the thing at o remember is to research well, and also use international forums to help you find the right truck. I have a friend who used to send me long lists of Craigslist truck for sale ads when I was looking, and we almost committed to one when out red truck came up for sale 45 miles from home. Distance should never be a deciding factor, rather potential and price. Good luck finding the right toy.

	Wrapped up, new bolts, assembled and packed away. Not bad for an amalgam of Jeep Cherokee and Mercedes A Class tow bars. Remember the kart frame I bought last year? Meet my crashed 2005 Honda CG125 with only 14k miles, and a bent, buckled front end. Think marriage or Frankenstein. Bought off Martin's step son who crashed it at recovery/scrap value, it will be stashed in the garage till the right time. Today was booked at my place for Kerry, Disasterbus and Martin to come over so we could do some jobs to Kerry's Patina 64 Short Stepper. Kerry had picked up our spares earlier this week including my pair of expensive but on inspection really good vent or quarter windows. Today he swung by Martin's place to pick up the little buckled Honda for me on their way over here. So when they got here, I had Kerry reverse his truck and the bike down the drive, then we all had a cuppa tea and a chat, followed by unloading the bike and all the parts n bits Kerry and Martin had brought along. One of the planned jobs was to weld in the rear roll pan bought at the NHRA Swapmeet recently. But before that happened Kerry needed to try out the Ford side step that Martin had managed to rescue from a skip a few weeks ago as a potential rear bumper. As it was before. A lot to be said for car ramps. Something useful from Ford. Some cutting, twice...... Got the bumper to size and gave Martin some toys. Modifying Kerry's straight six, which is soooooo sweet !! Later on we were joined by MercDan and his petrol head son George, Ian our former housemate, and Mickey next door were all here. Ian's main job was to do all the cooking, he is an accomplished "Tong Master" and managed the BBQ brilliantly. Through the day, we were joined by Ta2Don traveling across America, so everyone did a Hallo to Don here. Don and JoJo doing backseat driving duties. Somewhere along Interstate 81 in Salem, Virginia. Later, passing a Tennessee flag, about an hour West of Knoxville. Just love technology...... In the mean time, Ian carried on with the cooking duties. At some point we all poured into the house and scoffed ourselves stupid on three types of sausages, spicy chicken wings, pork belly, chilli chicken breast strips and rolls..... A proper mans BBQ. After lunch we carried on with various jobs, electrical mainly, Martin sorting a load of bad connections, and fitting new switches in the cab etc. Kerry fixed and fitted the rear bumper. And finally the highlight of the day........ New lights under the bumper as well.

Well, you got me there. Today we went to the first boot fair of the year this morning early. Brrrrrrr.... Cold @ 3'C in a field with a breeze. Each item was 50p and the Moon thermometer works, accurately. Hammer to join my formidable collection of hammers. Then came back, washed the MX5 as there is an interested buyer. Who then called an hour later to say he could not get hold of a mechanic friend who needs to guide him in buying and he needs to check the internet on pricing. I feel a time waster coming up. Then went down to the garage, found a bit of angle, cleaned up and glued it in there. Job done,

Anyway, you know you have a standing invitation as does certain other members. retrorides.proboards.com/thread/102679/bun-oven-industries-build-kent Originally Nicola expected a small thing, in the end she offered to get it it's own post code.

	The weather does not seem to want to play ball at the moment. I am doing various little jobs that I can "pack away" once they are done, till it is time to reassemble. I do not know if it was clear from my previous rant, just how lacking the chrome and finish was on the 67-72 rear bumper I had bought for he truck. One of the problems with this sort of low rent and shoddy finish, is that one then needs to spend time and money to prevent it from self destructing in a years time. So I bought two cans of RustOleum Zinc spray, and a can of Aluminium finish spray paint. Inside Outside Looking at the difference in thickness and quality between the front and rear bumpers I have bought, it is pretty obvious which is the rear one. Masking up took the most time, but we know preparation is what it is all about. Not exactly pretty, but once the silver is on there as well, I will be happy that they have a fighting chance against wet and road grime in years to come. Murphy's Law.......... Why? It was indoors in the garage.

	Just back from the garage. I bought a tin of "Aluminium" coloured paint, wanting the silveriest paint I could get to go over the Zinc paint. Well, sprays less than it splatters, paint stopped coming out of nozzle halfway through the job, so half a can of paint I cannot get out, going back to the shop to return it tomorrow, and maybe buy some silver paint for the rear bumper. I really am just adding the silver paint to the rears to match the chrome as the zinc is more dull and grey like primer. So this was the result, fine for what it is, but not as good as I expected or want.

	You're not going to see the inside of the bumpers very often Rian so as long as the steel is protected I wouldn't be too p***ed off about the finish of your paint. Baz. (Sent from my Hudl while sitting outside at 7.45pm Nairobi time!)

Baz. (Sent from my Hudl while sitting outside at 7.45pm Nairobi time!) Absolutely right Bwana Mkubwa** in Nairobi. But one always endeavours to do the best possible when faced with this sort of thing. It is why I am happy, despite wishing it was better. I popped in at the spares shop on my way to work this morning and traded the half can of paint for a tin of silver wheel paint. Came home tonight and repainted the front bumper and painted the rear one as well. Both got two coats of paint with an extra pass or two over the bolt holes. I am now quite happy that these will survive for a while, and not look like throne I took off, too soon. I also got offered a set of four of these by a friend today, as I mentioned I needed to build another moving trolley. Looking forward to building another "tool"
