Recently I had a 100 reasons to go visit Limey Steve so I thought I would take some pictures and send out a big thanks to Steve, Craig (CraigR), and the rest of the good folks at Lime Works! Thanks for your time, guys! Cheers! You guys GOTTA' get a load of this!! I fully intend on buying a pound of Steve's coffee beans and a mug to go with it! Not everyday that you see coffee filters hanging next to genuine Stromberg parts! HAHA! Now on to the important part... Daimler Hemi, anyone? Yes, please! I caught Craig pretending like he was doing something important... There were some REALLY cool projects in the works. Including this 39 LZ! Or how about this crazy Allard!? This thing was NUTS!!! Basically a British style sports car built with early Ford parts! Amazing! And last but not least... The bloke himself... Thanks again guys! See you soon!
Thanks dude, nice work with the Pentax! Now I hope you went there with a purpose for your Model A because we are going to want a big update Monday Morning.
I took these a couple weekends ago right before the BIG update! So, yes! I went there with the Model A in mind. I got shackles and the Oilite type shoulder bushings that Lime Works is putting together for early transverse leaf springs. They worked out well! Can't wait to see how they perform!
If you can tell how a shackle performs you're a better man then I am. I've never met a man excited about shackles especially when he's going to have a full house hemi in front of his face while driving. I'm sure they are worth their wait in gold and when I have to replace mine you'll have many many years of trouble free operation.
Well, I guess it's more of a SEE how they LAST kind of thing more than see how they perform. I should have phrased that differently. The rubber/plastic based ones I had on my springs were trashed before it even saw the road. So I thought I would give these a go... For those of you wondering what we're chatting about, here's the bushings Steve is selling: http://www.limeworkspeedshop.com/store_hotrodparts_exclusive_oillitebushes.html
Yeah I seen those. I wish I would have scooped them up before installing mine. How could they not last forever right?
looks like a killer trip. I will probably have to pop in there to see the shop this winter when I am back out in SoCal. Can't wait
I sen those oil-lite bushes at the NATS this year an talked to Steve nice product got to get me a set an great guy to BS with.
Great photos.....great bunch of guys at Limeworks.....my avatar is my A in the back alley behind the shop.... Kona..... the metal eating bulldog... Cheers!
my birthday is coming up in nov....I could really use the 2nd from the left deuce grille shell hanging on the wall, steve...hint...hint
Great Shots Scott , thanks & thanks for the comments , I'm an engineer & don't understand why people would expect a plastic bushing to carry the weight of a car !!!!The bronze ones have been in my roadster for 5 years with many thousands of miles still like new.When the plastic ones are installed & you have to hammer the shackle through it, how "free" is the shackle going to be , with the oilite they swing free & let the spring do it's job without any binding resistance.
Four of us went to Cali three years ago and we stopped into "Limeworks" before picking up our parts down road at BDS. Steve gave us a heck of a tour, with some humor to boot... Excellent fellow .... Shared a few stories down at the Round-Up in Flat Top Bob's (Bob Owens) motel room with Steve in 2009..... Love those English (?) Hemi's.....
Hey Scoot? I've been thru this post three times & not one lime do I see! I see peekchurs of cool vehicles, beans & mugs (beans perhaps magic?) and a to die for Edwards or Ranalah english wheel, but again, no limes. Do I need special3D glasses, sold only thru Limeworks et.co.inc. al to view said limes? '' Your head would look good on a pike "
The most expensive and best coffee in the world is "Kopi Luwak". These coffee beans get there special flavor because they have been true the digestive system off a cat like creature. Hmmm, i wonder why the coffee has been named after the dog.
