mowerman Posted just now Author Share Posted just now All right, I know this doesn’t amount to a hill of beans, but I had mentioned I had leese Neville body shop spray gun a while back it’s been buried for years. I haven’t used it in 25 years. I found it yesterday when I was looking for the cam bearing puller it’s actually.a develbiss .. and no, I did not get any further on a steering box more progress tomorrow after the gym I’m a little pissy because I’ve had to drive every day this week so far and tomorrow also I would rather get an early start on this thing but I’ve been blowing off the gym for a couple of weeks so I need to go Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/74/#findComment-580658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
