What have you been up to this week

[Jock]

yeah yeah bro, wood interiors in beddies .... like them alot, I completely lined the interior of one of my first beddies with cedar 2 x 1/2" strips (50 x 10 mm) looked like a sauna, was cedar madness  the sides, the roof, the doors, any where the strips could be screwed on, came up great and a;ways attracted looks and comments 

I like that Idea Eddy!
Did it smell like a sauna?

wednesday- replace those little bolts that hold the lower wishbone bracket to crossmember (on the side of the road after front two stripped)
thursday replace universals (got tired of that 'ping ping,ping ping,ping ping,ping ping,ping ping,ping ping noise)
saturday - weld up snaped door hinge
monday - drive 3 hours each way (and run out of gas and lpg at the same time) to pick up a "rebuilt 186 with a yella terra head". compression good, but yella paint does not a yella terra make 

Does anyone know how to identify a YT head from the outside?

and can i get one of these for a two barrel weber?
