10-4

[Lonestar_R]

Pappy I have a box of Nuts and Bolts commin at ya that will need molycoated also. They may make it there before my other parts do, since Fed Ex has somehow carried the stuff to North Carolina. So hopefully it will all be there this week

[Pappy]

LOL..ok

[Lonestar_R]

Pappy, Did my Frame make it there yesterday? The other 2 boxes I shipped fed ex can't seem to make it there. for some reason one box made it to virgina and now is back in north carolina. WTF. I have one other box comming USPS, it should be there today maybe. I just wanted to make sure when or if everything makes it there ok. since its already made a hell of trek. Since Fed Ex are a bunch of idiots

[Pappy]

yes frame arrived and is soon to be at the strippers

[Lonestar_R]

ok good....thanks, I haven't a clue when the other 3 boxes will be there. Hopefully soon.

[Pappy]

another box arrived through the mail also

[Lonestar_R]

OK thats all the bolts that need moly coated....all the other parts are in Limbo between Virgina and North Carolina. hmm how does stuff that ships from northern Pennsylvania shipping to West Virgina end up in North Carolina. No wonder shipping rates are so high. thanks for the update Pappy

[Lonestar_R]

Pappy, You should of gotten the other 2 boxes today. That should be it for now. Till I find a few more parts I'm looking for.

[Pappy]

yup i have the 2 other boxes now

[Lonestar_R]

I guess you have to work now. LOL and I'll have to get to work in a couple weeks. I think I'm more excited than my stepson is about the whole deal

lonestar,was my bumper in one of those boxes?

[Lonestar_R]

No it was not. Its in my garage still. I am accumulating another bunch of parts to go so I'll have room in that box, possibly

[Pappy]

look familiar:scary:

[Lonestar_R]

WOW!!! Double WOW...that is gonna look sweet. I still miss my old R. that just makes me sad to know how much fun it was to ride that quad. It didn't look that good the last time I saw it

i know you want that frame back now...white frame...hmmmm

[Lonestar_R]

Pappy, I was wondering how far away you being ready to coat my parts. Cause I have a swingarm and a rear shock spring to send you. And thought I might sneak it in if I got it there by weeks end if I get the swingarm back from the sandblaster today and get the crack welded. Let me know where I'm at and I'll see if I can get you those parts. If your about ready to do it don't wait on me it will just save me from rushing to get them to you. Thanks

[Pappy]

send them Brock, yours are inline and on my plans for this week so no worries.

[Lonestar_R]

Ok I will let you know if I get the swinger back today. If I get it back I wil send them if not I will wait till next week. Cause it will be at least a day to get it welded. So like I said don't wait on the other parts if your ready to start on parts that are already there. thanks

[Pappy]

I can weld it if needed

[Lonestar_R]

ok maybe I will just do that.....its a laeger swinger and I know it has been welded and painted over dirt and crap before. I wanted to see what I had before I sent it out. I'll let you know if its comming and if it needs welded or not. Its no wonder you have so much business. You are one of the few people out there that will help a guy out. if I get it this evening I will ship it tomorrow after work.

[Lonestar_R]

Pappy just go ahead and do what parts you have there. and I will get you these few other parts I have here next week.

[Lonestar_R]

Any updates yet there Pappy....

[Pappy]

nope, got to clear out the work ahead of ya first, but its coming:p

[Lonestar_R]

OK just checkin......The Drywallers are done with my living room and my wife is gonna make me primer and paint. I was just tryin to find a way to get out of it for a couple weeks....since this is for her son.

[Pappy]

not the honey do list:p

mine reminds me daily that i have a sink to fix, a toilet seat that likes to throw you off, a few loose pieces of trim....


i have to be decent to my customers, but she gets told to stfu im working as fast as 1 man can:D

[Lonestar_R]

oh yes...the honey do list......I started this room almost 3 years ago. I took a support wall between 2 rooms and had to put up an engineered lumber beam thats 16' long and then took out all the drywall that had paneling on top of it. then hung all the new drywall and and started to finish the drywall and then said screw it. I was tried of sanding drywall and breathing dust. so it has sat for 2 years and I finally found someone to finish it. and they finsihed in a total of like 3 days. It was a side job for the guy that did it. I would of wasted more material than it cost me to have them do it.

No Problem Pappy I understand your busy and workin as fast as you can. There is always next week...

[Pappy]

better you then me, ill stick to leaky faucets and toilet seats:p

[Pappy]

I liked the way you sent the parts, I wish they were all sent this way! The list attached in the box is a cool idea

[Pappy]

most of the parts are stripped, a few have to be burnt off but I should have all the small stuff done possibly tomorrow

[Lonestar_R]

like you said it all takes time...and you have to do them in order of recieving them......I tried to make it easier for you

[Pappy]

some small parts completed

[Lonestar_R]

Sweet thanks.....I can't wait to see it all when your done......Hope I don't bother you too much about this stuff?

[Pappy]

nope not at all. i get frustrated i cant move any faster but as long as i know i am doing things the way i want them done im good:p

worked till 1 am last night, back at it at 7 am this morning, probably knock off around midnight again.

[Lonestar_R]

I can believe it....you just keep doin what your doin....cause I have been happy with your work in the past...as with alot of other people...I guess thats why your so busy now....don't let me bother you....

[Lonestar_R]

Any more updates? Your like my wife a big tease showing me a few parts. LOL

[Pappy]

i plan on doing more of your black parts this evening

[Lonestar_R]

alrighty thanks

[Pappy]

c'mon dude, its 11:30 pm and i dont see you online:devil:

[Pappy]

i should charge by the picture...lmao

[Pappy]

them old pegs had seen some use

[Lonestar_R]

Sorry Dude I decided to play playstation when I got home from work....LOL Everything looks great...when are you looking at getting the rest sprayed down with some color?

[Pappy]

well, i was hoping to have tomorrow off and it was on deck, but this cold weather has me absolutley swamped at my day job so it will have to be done over the weekend.

[Lonestar_R]

Sounds good

[Pappy]

spindles molycoated


i hand sanded your frame today so its almost ready to hang and shoot. i should have it done tomorrow for you!

[Lonestar_R]

Did you moly all the bolts I sent also? Or are they still on tap? Was there any cracks in the frame? Everything looks great

[Pappy]

i didnt see any cracks, but after its cleaned in the morning i will give her the once over.

havent made it to bolts yet, still clearing out larger items

[Lonestar_R]

Ok I just didn't want you to forget about them thats all......I looked the frame over a couple times but after it was stripped they would be easier to see......she was a rough beast when I got her....it was run so hard that the valves were beat down and had to file them off to get them out of the head.....not to mention the cam didn't have any lobes left on it.....

[Pappy]

LOL..damn!

[Lonestar_R]

any other progress yet?

[Pappy]

its hung and ready for me to coat, just moving out work that is ahead of that color.

[Lonestar_R]

awesome can't wait to see it.....even my wife is anxious to see it.....she could usually careless.....I am shipping out some other parts tomorrow...I'll start another post with the colors and parts list for them.

[Pappy]

not a problem. are you coming down when its all done?

[Lonestar_R]

Maybe we can make to breezewood for you to shoot some pics of it when she's all finished up

[Pappy]

Pivot bolt Moly'd

[Lonestar_R]

[Lonestar_R]

[Lonestar_R]

[Lonestar_R]

[Pappy]

ill probably ship whats done early in teh week. its a bit late to try and package the frame for tomorrows run. all the completed small parts are already packaged, infact they left today

[Lonestar_R]

ok...whatever works best for you....

[Lonestar_R]

[Pappy]
