Dang, only "ten" Hummmmmm.....

Glad you are back and I am sure that the wife and kids like it that way!!. 

Yea, I was going to get some pics today but it started to rain and I don't want to get the new camera wet.
My daughter took over "my camera"  with her cop class..  and when I do start working on the rig again I will surely take more photos and will POST them
Hey, while I am thinking of it and you are here "some where"
Should I be worried about the small spider cracks in the fiberglass shell of the rig.. They are every where!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John :)    Ps.  Jerry=  9 more

Hey John,
     From what I have read the spider cracks are only the gelcoat cracking, and ordinarily not a sign of damage to the laminate underneath. Not to say big or particularly ugly ones should be ignored. My rig has a lot of them as well, but I am content to focus on the bigger problems at present. It seems reasonable that our rigs would have a lot of spider cracks considering their age and the nature of the construction. For the amount of cracks you and I have we would need a total re coat, I think.

     I bought the new HD fan clutch + tune up stuff, and made my first attempt at repairing the radiator. I met with marginal success and am considering what to do from here. I still have slight weeping from the damaged area and am thinking about using some radiator stop leak type product. Wanna make any brand suggestions? have any luck with a particular type of stop-leak? I am all ears. I am also considering some type of external sealant as well......... :-\
