That was just a drive-by to reload pics by request. Prior that, it was 2014. Wow!
Hey Thomas! Yea, he has the Olds. Still weighing options. I was also offered a fresh flathead this morning. I might have to supercharge it, if I...
I was just trying to remember when I last signed on. It may have been five or six years! A lot has happened on my sidetrack. Finally got the...
Pics are back up!
I wish I still had this one. I let it get away 15 years ago... [IMG]
Wow! Kick ass that y'all still use this thread!
I've used the Harbor Freight $59 helmets for years. They worked fine for occaisional usage and were cheap enough to throw out if they flaked out....
Sorry you asked? I still suspect you have a bad shackle arrangment.
It starts with the wheels and tires. Place them in the wheel openings, where you want them. This means the body is at ride height and rake. Nose...
geometry is key... ..and no, the Jeep is a triangulated 4-link. The TLB car uses radius rods or hairpins. If you want to use the Jeep parts, you...
You know, Tom, back before you and I met, maybe only a year or so, I had sketched up plans for a low slung T frame, banger powered car with a...
ummm, the jeep parts are not the answer. Totally different mission.
The hairpins and coil-overs on the TLB car will work great, and offer far more tuning options than leafs ever could. It all hinges on...
Seals-It washers from Summit will allow you to put some protection on the rod ends. They have rubber skirts that encompass the ball to keep dirt out.
Scotty approved!
Can you be a little more specific? maybe a pic or two of the problem area?
That's not an $850 welder anymore. Try $1600 in 2013 dollars...
That looks like a MII rack. It's about as good as you can get with that setup. This is one of the issues with trying to apply the MII suspension...
I have a hotrod AD truck in progress with a budget of about $15k in materials. It's for my brother, so it's hard to price the labor. I am...
Fixed 'em. Just for you!
BASS (I'm sure he was already mentioned, but you know...)
I get it at Tractor Supply, but I've seen it in the big box stores, too.
Lol, I broke out a mirror the other day, working on a friend's car, and he just about flipped out. :)
I've used valspar high build primers under valspar and rustoleum. It sands well once it cures. Temp and humidity have a lot to do with that, but...
Autobody and collision repair has no requirements. The shop may be an ICAR or ASE certified facility, meaning they want their team to have any...
I gave my daughter a new fangled record player with a USB output for Christmas... ...and a few Johnny Cash Records. :)
I've done a lot of chassis work with a Miller 135, 110v machine. Practice, prep and make sure you grind a bevel on joints to make the most of the...
IF the top bars are shorter operating radius (as most triangulated 4-links), you want them down in the front. Project the lines of upper and lower...
Google Hutto. I sit in the middle of three concrete plants, maybe 5 miles between them. PM me with your contact info and I'll connect you with a...
Larry, I'll be giving you and Mark a call. I am a case worker for an orphan that would like to know more about his sister.... [IMG]
