He'll have to dig a pit!
What are the squishy black pillows? You building an Audi? JK... looks good.
Triple check that your lug nuts are tight. Unless you want to recreate a scene from 'Herbie' and get passed by 'somebody's' wheel. Oh, and if...
I would find another U-Pick yard. Places like that with crappy attitude towards customers don't deserve business. They get that attitude when...
Black Betty
My vote is to paint it. I love patina, and if the whole thing was like the front end, keep it. Nothing cooler than a survivor that's worked...
LOL, keep telling him that. Those exact buckets are on the late 50's vw bugs as well. (Not 911, note the black hole at the bottom behind the...
I'll never forget driving down ol 66 in NM and a Bee making it in through through my swamp cooler. Man he was pissed!
Oh, I also meant to mention that while you're in this 'hot zone', you could probably hire an off duty sheriff's deputy to go by a lot, or even...
A security system can be intimidating, because you're afraid you'll miss something and leave a hole. Just keep in mind that if you work on a car...
Went Thursday. I didn't take my camera either, and got so overwhelmed walking around the fairgrounds that I completely forgot I had one on my...
The first break in was just to test response time from you, or the cops. They are surely coming back. The scary part is if they're brave enough...
If nobody but Bat Man has seen such a device, then I concede that there probably isn't one out there. My old man wasn't one to make things up or...
That's exactly why I want a picture! How the #$@! did it work? No wireless in the 60s... but I assume it just gets a few wraps each turn like a...
There's no user here with the name of... hey, wait a second... Seriously, it's a place to put a tach without cutting up the dash.
It was just a lowly bug. The thing was installed by the dealer, and on the car when he bought it new. Not a vw made steering wheel. I assumed...
My dad used to have a VW (gasp!) in the late 60's that had a tachometer in the steering wheel, in place of the horn button. I believe he...
If you can't hide the embedded steel, and you can still see it through your clear colorized resin, how about flipping the flaw into an advantage?...
I'm not sure you could flip one over until it almost hardens up. Maybe put the spokes in the first just halfway embedded, let it mostly cure and...
Yes! You're problem in making anything like this is going to be getting all the voids in your mold filled so that you don't have bubbles, and...
I am curious how you got the steel to be centered up and down within the mold. Did it work because the banjos kept a bit of separation btween the...
I love posts like this. Thank you! It's neat to see something where I know how to do all the individual steps, but hadn't ever thought to put...
LOL, that's going to be my new catch phrase anytime somebody shows me a car I'm really not interested in (I like the MG btw..). For example:...
Out of all of those guys, he's the only one I would work for. The rest are just goobers who have no idea what managing a team or a project are...
If I may be so bold (or stupid) as to show my ignorance of the older metal... Why exactly are you going to replace the frame? If it's boxed, it...
I'm cornfused. I thought it was Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (19th,20th,21st)? What would a newbie expect? Are there any full cars? body...
That dude in your avatar is really enjoying that boy holding his log. you sick bastage!
LOL, that reminds me of when I gave the rent house next door little blue freckles.
You shouldn't have a problem, unless you're painting while they're asleep and they've got the window open. Note however that I'm basing this on...
Ha! I didn't expect anyone to actually do it!
