    Wow, I somehow missed that you started working on the wagon again. Good to hear. Like those wheels.

    Thanks, I will finish this wagon sooner or later. Getting enough done and going to sit engine in and move it inside then can take my time finishing hooking up engine little at the time. I will feel better when it is inside.

    17" front wheels and 18" for the rear with enough tire to ride good!

    I was in doctor's office today. Just seems like after 40 the blood pressure, cholesterol, joints and bones all need servicing on a regular basis! :D

    Hope y'all enjoyed your trip!

    I think I just scored my serpentine set up I been looking for without breaking the bank.
    Found on Craigslist in Mobile, Alabama. I have family close by so he said he would go
    pick it up and pay the guy for me. Fingers crossed it goes as planned and I can get a
    little more accomplished. I talked to seller and he seems ok with arraignment I made
    to handle it. Now I have to find time to go retrieve them or wait a couple weeks until
    my family member comes to town...I figure I been messing around 3 years now so no
    sense getting in a rush now.

    Finally got my pulleys today. I need to replace the tensioner pulley and get my A/C delete pulley and man are they dirty but they are here now, not sure if I will get them cleaned or not tomorrow with Mother's Day and all. I didn't get to today because it was fix 1tiredad's mortar mixer grille and hood. Used my new welder to fix the abuse it seemed to take on his last job. Try to get a little done on the wagon but the wife will be out of work for summer break and we just finished getting the cement pond ready for the kids for summer so now I may have some extra time....just less funds for next few months. :slap: :biglaugh:
