Glad you like it! I hope you find enough time to "finish" it too! :lol:

Sure, I can teach you to weld, hold the flame just right, and not too hot, then melt the rod onto the hot spots! EZ, OR, for MIG welding, turn on the power, and use the handle for welding. :joker

Received mine today. Haven't got to see as much as I hoped to (due to watching the grandson). I think these things should have a warning on them: Warning!!! Can be highly addictive!!!

Glad you like it!

Make sure you take plenty of breaks and drink lots of coffee while reading the CD! :lol: Do not skip work or school to read it. PLUS, do not skip home chores (honeydoos) to read this CD. :joker

How's that for a warning?

Hey, glad you like it Duane!!

Just letting the rest of you "newbie" guys know, I am STILL keeping the price of the CD the same EVEN though the postage has gone up several times and going up AGAIN on Monday. Who else has made an offer like that? This is still the same price it was when I first introduced it back in Dec. 2004. I am glad it is still a big help to all that own it!

I just sent you the money via Paypal.

I am taking 2 "71" long beds, one good body etc. the other has all the good stuff, power steering AC, posi unit and good 383 auto.

Since I need to basically to a frame off restore I figured this would help me with those little things, that seem to eat your lunch.

Thanks in advance, hoping mine will not take 4 years. But who knows.....

Rick, Thanks! I am sending your CD out to you in todays mail. It does seem that it takes 2 Sweptlines to make one... due to rust, and missing parts. Then, You still need to buy more stuff from suppliers. That is just part of the fun in restoring one of these. Pay attention to the "Parts store list" in the Dodge truck Notes folder. Remember, email me anytime if you can't find something, or if you have any questions about the CD. or any part of your resto.

This, and all the other reasons & testimonials
prompted the decision to make this CD, along with
some other necessary items, a "Sticky" at the top
of the "For Sale" section. :Thumbsup All of these
folks have taken time out of their lives to make
some cool Sweptline stuff available to us. Click
on that sticky and check it all out! :salut

Over the years and good info

Post by OKCR2G »

It is always better to have busted knuckle information than trying to do it on your own.

My first restore was a 59 chevy PU. Did it without any manuals. Had to replace the windshield brow on the cab. Did it twice as the windshield test fit was poor. After that I made it a habbit to get as much info as possible.

Thanks guys, I will probably spend an entire weekend going thru it and looking at my trucks for confirmation.
