Building a go-cart? lol Have you thought about a rack and pinion? Changing steering arm length? I don't know of any steering box with 1/2 turn...
I'm here also. I took a break from the Autocar just before Thanksgiving due to weather. Around the middle of December, my older brother fell ill...
Maybe one too many zeros?
JMHOs You'll regret Heim joints! Way to harsh, short lived and noisy for anything but a race car. (bushings deaden the road noise that wants to...
I am not impressed with the weird side windows and the bassakwards rear fenders, but I do like the dash/gauge cluster. To each our own!
I find that you can't add a photo with the edit button.
I got the bed sides painted tonight. Other than umpteen suicidal mosquitos, it looks great!
I shot the first olive drab on the body tonight. Not much to look at, but I painted where the fenders will bolt on, along with the back side of...
Boris is one I want to see in person some day!
Here is my try at making "muffler guts" to fit in my 5" exhaust stacks. I followed the principle that sound waves don't like to bend around...
What have others used for finish on the underside of your fenders? I have used acrylic modified asphalt driveway sealer on a daily driver pick-up...
I'll build a baffle system as the primary noise reduction system and then experiment with a "Helmholtz resonator". I have found videos on how to...
After hearing this thing run, I realized just how badly I need mufflers! My exhaust system has no room for normal mufflers, so I have to build...
I've been busy on the Autocar, but not picture type stuff. I've spent most of the summer doing various plumbing projects, coolant, brakes, power...
I'm sorry to hear this, but take solace in being the one who tried!
There isn't a really a solution, but the older cabs had very deeply set windows and the burble that creates makes noise also
I've never watched all of this guy's videos, but if you sort through them, you might get more tips and ideas. [MEDIA]
Just a bit of info for anyone exited about old Autocars! Note the mismatch of the beltline at the front edge of the door and the A pillar. Without...
Here is a link to a build that, although different from what you have in mind, should give you some pointers on a motorhome chassis and how a...

Looking around on the 'net, seems front to front rear to rear, makes sense to me!
My wife just got home with our Ford Escape hybrid, the only way I can tell where the MC is, is by the plastic reservoir. I don't see any brake...
I am using a dual brake master cylinder from a mid 70s GMC motorhome because the reservoirs are the same size. (both larger than most other MCs) I...
Yup, that is the baby brother of mine. Class 5 or lighter.
My $20,000 doesn't include any miles yet! :eek:
$50/hr times a thousand hours! I figure I have $20,000 in my Autocar without any labor and I'm a cheap s.o.b. when it comes to parts
A few more! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
[MEDIA] At 1:16. I have a better picture somewhere, I'll keep looking.
Yeah, I can probably hit 50 mph just with the starter. Shades of Tesla!
Here's a couple more pics from today. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
