4th Annual MEB Wrench & Roast---AUGUST 6th---Dover, PA

[tasker]

Thanks Pal......HEY, wait a minute.....%)

well you know what i meant.......kinda ;D

I kinda do I can paint it. Guys at the shop I work at can wrench on it. Is the frame swayed 3" or just the sheet metal?

Frame, sheetmetal, snow plow frame and front leaf springs. And in response to Ransil, the car was insured but the driver was listed as excluded, so there's an issue with weather or not it's going to be covered.

90 degree bracket made out of flat stock. It has (3) 1/2" holes for steering box mounting to frame and a larger hole w/4 smaller holes that mounts to top of box.

I looked around tonight with AJ when we were loading up the last of his stuff and I did not see it on any of the benches or the steel rack.

Where was it when you guys last saw it?

That sucks. When are you coming back up? Lol

I'm glad you found it Jason. I should have made a template of it. Less than a minute to cut it out on the lazer and about 15 sec to bend it on the press once it was set up.

Here's some pics of the super cool Dickies mechanic shirts Nhopman and his brother made for this the current and previous MEB Wrench & Roast project vehicle owners and hosts.

The project owner shirts have the year of their project under the skull and crossed wrench & BBQ fork and "Project Vehicle" at the botom.

Nice work as always Nick!

I think I now have 30 (or more) so MEB branded shirts, hats, jackets, tool and jumper cable bags, etc. Maybe we can do some socks next so I can be covered head to toe! ;D

 

[NGABronco]

Those are cool!!! That Hopman guy is hard to handle!!!!

 

[jmhend]

Great looking shirt drew.

so, never did hear the status of AJ's rig? is it complete? driveable? wheel-able?

 

[ajportmann]

I don't get on this forum a lot so, I apologize for the delay, I did post on MEB FB page but understand that not everyone there is here;

A big THANKS to those that put effort into making that wknd happen and those that showed up to work on the truck. Sorry to hear about the guy (Cip68) that got into an accident on his way. Hope that works out in your favor.
Truck Status: The truck is in somewhat of a rolling chassis form with an empty body sitting on top. The rear axle housing needs to be taken to a machine shop to be checked for straightness before the axles are cut down to length and the trussing and bracing can be finished. And even though we just about wore out Kevin Kiser (he did a tremendous amount of welding that day), there is a lot of finish welding to be done because most everything was just tacked into place. I had to go back to work out of state almost immediately after the event and was only able to get the raw steel parts primed and painted before I left. I have been making contact with people to get some of the issues we found during the build (Poly Performance) and some parts that didn't make it to the build (NWFab) resolved. Also need to get back to work for a while in order to build up some more funds to complete this rig, as I blew through all that I had saved and then some! Thanks again.

It is not installed yet. Let me know and I can work something out with you.

They look great Drew. When can I pick mine up? I'm done with the mag drill and can meet you during lunch this Tuesday.

Nick is mailing them out, so you should have yours anytime now?

I got mine last Thursday.

Tuesday is fine to meet for the drill. How is the Volvo progressing? Have you been keeping new pics on the thread? I have not noticed the thread recently.

 

[jmhend]

Drew- can members buy them too?

 

[Broncitis]

Probably. I will have to ask Nick. We did talked briefly about this early on.
