Ifitaintbroke Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 It's a refrigerator magnet. Licensed by The Motor Company They also had a couple of styles of blue oval. Ah. I forgot fridge mags were a thing. Even though I have like 100 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I broke 7 out 8 mounting bolts for the spare tire carrier on the Bronco. Those 5/16 bolts had no chance even with PB blaster. So far I have drilled and tapped about 4 bolts to 3/8-16. Wasted several drill bits. This would be my top pick for work that is not productive when it comes to cars/trucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viven44 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 You need an oxy/acetylene torch. It can't be frozen when it's molten! I do have one. If I wasn’t worried about surrounding paint and clear coat I would have blasted the heck out of it. Something had to give 😠Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I do have one. If I wasn’t worried about surrounding paint and clear coat I would have blasted the heck out of it. Something had to give 😠Today was a beautiful spring day! 70 degrees not much breeze..... And I had doctor's appointments, pretty much all day! 😖 A did manage to install Vivin's switch, a new pair of horns that are NOT from Horrid Fate, and get a bunch of parts decreased and prepped for both tightening. Lots of cotton swabs to get the cosmoline out of the threaded blind holes. A yellow paint marker to indicate which bolts had been torqued properly.

ArdWrknTrk Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Progress! Hope the doctor's appointment went well. Plural. The cardiologist was to examine the edema in both legs. But despite smoking a pack of Camels a day for 50 years, I'm fit as a horse The edema is due to some lymphatic blockage below the waist. (not his job) The Ortho showed me the arthritis in all three capsules of my left knee, and where bone on bone had worn the joint out. (I'm falling apart!!! 😂😂😂) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told someone I think my warranty expired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told someone I think my warranty expired. Yes, Bill, I understand the analogy. I'm getting calls suggesting I extend the warranty. Jim - I hope you ARE as healthy as a horse. Get well!

ArdWrknTrk Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Yes, Bill, I understand the analogy. I'm getting calls suggesting I extend the warranty. Jim - I hope you ARE as healthy as a horse. Get well! I'm obviously not healthy as a horse, but evidently my heart is. No arrhythmia, no wooden or flaccid ventricles, no fluid in the pericardium. The flesh on my leg is still very tender and seems about like a pomelo. It's also bright red. But it's no longer ready to split like a tomato after a rain, or weeping plasma, so there IS that.! Knee replacement is an option, but they need imaging, and an* MRI is pointless until the swelling and pressure go down.\ The edema is troubling me, though. If I don't have any kind of cardiac condition, my liver, kidneys and blood work are all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
