This is how it's going to look under the hood. Just need some heater hose clamps, PCV hose and a radiator cap.

Almost like we put some thought into it?Clean!
Those are interesting hammers.Kind of cluttered but it's coming along. Item by item, bit by bit. Getting organized is kind of messyView attachment 169613

I tossed an IKEA one up in our kitchen for MrsCruiser and it really made me think about adding some in the home shop for tool organization. I don’t think the IKEA ones would hold heavier pliers or ratchets?

I do like them. They look kind of cluttered but you can easily tell what you need and they are obviously at hand. I have the same magnetic strips holding up a set of Tekton pry bars. The biggest pry bar is fairly heavy. I don't think you could ask for more than what these are giving me?
Well after battering my hinges and rear fenders on the first outing I ordered a pair of these. Also discovered while installing despite my best efforts, my nose tells me I definitely ran over some 🐮 💩

As Trate said pretty sturdy mounting, and quick release if I get on some technical stuffHow long you give it? It looks like something that would go missing the first trip? For me?

In the realm of farm repair, this one is on the high end of quality. Looks good to me.Worked on the rusted out tractor wheel.
First I went over the whole thing with the needle scaler:

Then I started cutting to get back to good metal.

When I started this project it seemed straightforward in my head, but it turns out that that's the only place I have the skill and patience to do a @zmotorsports level job. In the real world I run out of talent and patience (and tools - or so I tell my wife) before I get to where it looks as good as new. But when I'm done it should work as good as new, even if it has obviously been repaired, and that's all that really matters to everything except my pride.
A few more patch pieces to put in and then a day of grinding. 😂
For the delight of all of us spectators... Though I know its a tractor wheel, I'd really like to see you try and balance this wheel...Worked on the rusted out tractor wheel.
