This is awesome. I will be watching.
I repair spindles pretty often, but that I wouldn't really touch. I've welded new spindles (the shaft that is damaged in your case) to knuckles,...
If you want a trailer for next time I own a 22 footer. It's old and not pretty, but it works great.
This thing is really cool, I got to check it out earlier today.

If you are set on making them out of a bolt, use F911. It takes better to welding and will not become brittle. I've done it in the past for...

When I bag a car, the bag I pick varies by job. I base the bag on the type of ride quality a customer wants, and the suspension design.
I bleed from the wheel cylinders up to the master, so it doesn't matter. Phoenix Systems makes a kit. But you can pull a push rod out of the...
Got another 10 from me.
I think tank size depends on how switch happy you are, and what kind of compressor you have. I typically run a 5 gallon tank and two ViAir 380s or...
Chassis is my favorite, especially when I get to do something complicated and out of the norm.
One I built a while back. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Silver would probably look good. My next frame will be silver with semigloss black on the moving parts.

Sheet metal brake or a bead roller. Those are my next buys anyway.
I have had success with Por-15 and Kreems. Kreems is red and looks pretty cool. There is a local radiator shop that uses it, and I usually just...
I've had a lot of success welding cast iron in the past. I have an oven in the shop for preheating things. I usually go to 400 degrees or so, and...
If the cracking is bad I would change them. But they should last for at least 10 years if they are mounted correctly. There is a guy in our club...
If you guys do this again next year I will probably have a couple of bikes ready. It looked like most where banana bikes, but are other styles...
1. A triangulated setup is great if you have the space to make it work correctly. To make it work right, your upper bars need to be angled between...
An RE7 will ride better up front than an RE6, just because of air volume. But it's not necessary. I would never put an RE6 out back, especially if...
Do you guys have enough people? It's almost 2 hours for me, but I'm willing to make the trip if you still need more hands. Call me if you want...
Nice work. Cool looking car.
I have some steel TIG welded 4" blocks a customer backed out on. Been sitting on them for about 6 months. Will let them go cheap if you are...
You will learn to swing wide.
That's a beautiful chassis. I like the tasteful use of dimples, especially the big ones!
This is rather bitchin'.
Nice car. What kind of air tank is that? I've never seen one made that way.
