heh not bad craig

why are you talking about an f250 on a bimmer forum

because hes been here a lot longer than you have and has gained a little respect that you have yet to earn

First of all, this is the lounge -- we chill here and chat about anything and everything. The strongest community bonds that we have at UB.c are formed here. As in real life, people here discuss the matters that are relevant (and sometimes sorta irrelevant, I must confess) to one another's lives.

Our buddy Craig has an F250 that he is going to work on restoring, so we gladly read about his enterprise.

xsperfowned!

ok dont tool on the new guy, or he wont want to stay here to earn respect.

hell time on the boards and respect have no link. im one of the first 50 members and contribute nothing to this board than drunken postings

Ooooo

how are you going to clean the engine, degreaser and a pressure washer, or decreaser and a rag..?

my dad is trying to convince me to use a pressure washer, but then it probably wont run untill everything dries up. so im probably just going to use a high-power degreaser, a scraper(its some pretty thick stuff, pretty sure its never been cleaned) and a rag.

ehh just use some cut up contractor trash bags, that cover whatever shouldn't get wet .

Your commitment to this truck is a really good example of restoring classic machines :clap I need to finnish fixing mine! :nod
