"You talkin to me?" [ATTACH]
Well, just like the title sez. I was sorta stopped by the color knowing what it sorta was, a match for my 39 Std column and other utility items...
Don't polish intakes. Try to cut a vertical 90 over the top seat angle as close to .100 wide as possible. Make the header flanges bigger than the...
Beer and pizza are pretty good capital. I moved a shop 3 times. Heavy equipment was a 4' stomp shear, 5' break and 38" slip roll. Also included...
You had me at Wu Tang:cool: [ATTACH]
Dolla-dolla bills y'all... Anything can come back, or go back given the C.R.E.A.M. and motivation. [ATTACH] and ya say I don't pay...
In order to live up to my rep as a bit of a dick I'm gonna disclose that I've waited to do my "homework" assignment in hopes something will get...
THANK YOU! I knew I'd seen them before, smaller. There's a car here now with a Bijur system on it.
Technical term ya know. The opposite is a "gozonta" as in this gozonta that...;)
That looks like something that has a proprietary female fitting vs compression. I've seen them before on old shit but the bell it's ringing is...
Ok, for context the rear ¼ windows on my 39 have the same vent feature found in 34 front doors. Once rolled up, keep rolling and they move back a...
Door panels now done. Won't cut the handle holes until I have everything and they go on for the final time. Came out pretty nice I think. [ATTACH]...
I'll see your blue one and call with a grey one...[ATTACH] Did this one back in '14. This paint theme was concocted by a stage architect, Josef...
Man, lots to finish here before dessert. There's some color combos I never understood on the stuff I service. Picture a deep blue but the car...
Imagine this in the voice of Mae West; "Gary Cooper had the biggest dick in Hollywood, too bad he didn't know how to use it." True story...
Much ado. Who's doing the job means as much or more than the job itself. If someone burns on the perches like they're welding a tower on a...
What are you painting? I've had to sort out lots of ideas over the years. Specifically Packard in most cases, and that gets touchy because those...
Lotta balance weight on that drum. When you add up hourly rate and materials there's as much or $$$ than just getting the drums. Look at it this...
By golly this joint never disappoints. We talk about a good battery cable then get the most intricate of technical analysis like amp draw, voltage...
If a connector is staked right, tough, it'll outlive our grandkids on something this big. Even crimp ends are good if done right and shrink tubed...
It's a great idea. I was fortunate that I got a nice box of 2/0 welding cable long ago. Used it full length in my racer. 14:1 compression. Used a...
Addressing the overlap from the rear trunk panels to the door/qtr interior panels was next. I mounted the rear armrests and final fit the panels...

So 2 long years since I added to this build thread? WTF is wrong with me? Busy, that's what. Injury too a few times. Have I done ANYTHING? Fuckin...
If there's literally nothing attached there's no vacuum to leak. That's the pump in the pic? I don't see a 2nd diaphragm chamber for vacuum boost....
We gotta do what we gotta do, but holy-kiss my-fuck off, I hate gear clamps in general. Recognition of a problem is the 1st step to recovery, I...
So this lead plate. Is this a set and let it eat base? It looks like what my never-done-a-flatty-mag brain is seeing although cable operated to...
Ok, we all hate a fuckin thief so I won't go there any further. But, in a let's turn our hats around moment, getting back to the mag in use....
In other news, I'll be mounting 4 new 7.00-17 'stone WWWs in a few weeks. Not a cheap date, gonna freshen wheel color and new shoes. This topic...
I leaning further into the idea that a process was eliminated in production that preserved the whiteness of the treated rubber. Rubber isn't...
