    Don,
    Thanks for reply. I also thought that was the correct way and that was the reason I bought the shiny finished kit. I know that the roads are not as bad as when the '32 was built, but think we really need that rubber to save that expensive rad.
    I'm sorry to hear about your layoff, I've been there for for most of a year and due to some health reasons, I've decided to retire (can't afford it but).

    I used to watch my '32 grille shell on my '27 move around as I was bouncing down the road, and it always made me feel somewhat uneasy. There are a lot of vibrations up there, sitting right over the axle like that. I hope someone comes on and confirms that this is the way you are supposed to use that spring kit.

    As for the job thing, thanks. I didn't like the way it went down, but was relieved to get away from the new company.........things were just not the same and were not going to get any better. They have now fired everyone that I worked with, except for the parts girl, and she called me the other day and says things are horrible there. Companies are so dumb, they buy something that is working and making lots of money, then they screw it up.

    I have to admit, I am seriously thinking of retiring in July when I turn 62. I have a couple of people who are throwing hints my way, but I really need this time off for mental health and to get this project done. But I do miss the paychecks, that's for sure.

    BTw, these pictures are from oldfordmans gallery, and are part of what convinced me that the orange/gold suspension I am planning will look good. What a nice setup he has here, and how good it looks painted this way.

    I love what he has done.

    Yeah, the angle iron when you make a framework out of it just creates a natural cradle for the battery. you can then add whatever brackets needed to mount it and the whole thing becomes very strong. Lots of other ways to do it, but this one is cheap and beefy.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Don, I wish I could take credit for that. The A bone pickup in the pictures belongs to my friend Denny Sims. I've got to get out to his place and take update pictures of it soon.

    Ron: No hijack at all, we chew the fat about everything on here. No, he didn't get the TP one, I think he bought a Painless. It is still sitting in the box, and I remember seeing it on his shelves. What is going on with yours? maybe we can figure it out. I think you can go on TP website and download portions of their build book. Dan downloaded the frame section when we built Dons frame and it cost like $ 2.50 to do that.

    But lets hear what is going on, and maybe we can figure it out for you.

    Don[/QUOTE]
    Thank's, the first issue is I suck at electrical stuff, but usually through perseverance I can get things done. The second issue is the TP harness does not use a fuse block it only has fuseable links, and they don't mark the wires as alot of companies do.

    My brake lights don't work, and there were enough gauges in the car to overwelm a pilot, and then there are the mystery wires that go to nothing.
    I think a schematic would work for me, and I will try the TP site. If all else fails I am looking at the Rebel Wiring harness I saw on the HAMB.

    Thank's again Ron

    You guys realize I could have stayed mariied if I wanted this kind of abuse.


    Ron, I was trying to find you a forum I used to look at, and I forget the exact name, but it is something like Tbuckets.com, but it is not that one exactly. It has various sections, and one is on wiring a bucket, complete with schematics. Maybe someone else on here will remember the name of it.

    I looked at Tbuckets.com, and unless they changed the homepage, this is not it. Hope someone can refresh my memory.

    We'll see what we can get you.

    Don

    Ron: You got me to thinking (Ok Bob and Charlie, take your shots ) you said the TP wiring kit doesn't have a fuse block, only fusable links. I don't think so. I think you have some other brand, or are missing the fuse block or don't realize it is there somewhere.

    I went onto TP website, looked at their wiring kit, and it says is is made by American Autowire, and the picture shows a block. How sure are you that you have their kit? Something is wrong here.

    You weren't by any chance looking for the National T Bucket Alliance were you?

    http://www.nationaltbucketalliance.c.../techindex.asp

    That's a link to their tech archives.
