Drilled out and tapped out my first broken stud. Another
accomplishment for my bucket list. Not bad for a 67 year old
pastor!

You can come to Montana and help drill out a manifold stud in the block of a VC.

With that chrome pipe that DC should go even faster than little bros 400 so you won't have to worry about him running over you. HeHe.

When we kids said "I can't" my Dad would always growl "Can't never did nuthin". Through out my life, when someone said you can't! I usually bristled and said to myself, " I think I can". Just like the little red train engine. Good for you. See you in June. Matt. 19:26 gobble

Good job Pastor John, and thanks for the info on the build cards, I've already got mine for my 1954 DC-4.

When I saw that second photo, I thought you must work like me. Looked like a lot of blood on that rag.

Good work Pastor John. It's not easy threading old, brittle cast iron. That DC will be like brand new when you get done. Don

I sure do feel good about it and it was a good feeling. I would not make any money as a mechanic as it took me two hours to do it.....moved very slow and deliberate.
Brother Chuck supplied the tools and all of the coaching!
