The only thought that I would like to add here (and it has been said at least once before) is that light duty car style suspensions don't really...
Set the car on the wheels at ride hight and take four measurements, one at each corner, from the floor to a fixed spot on the body, then set the...
Carb cleaner, acetone, lacquer thinner, soap and water, etc... But make sure anything you use to clean is dry before you weld. Water wont hurt...
I just had the same thing happen to me. I had gone through EVERYTHING on the front end, new kingpins, tie rod ends, spring bushings, wheel...
The 1/4" rod pilot for a holesaw works so good that I don't even bother with a drill style pilot for wood. I always pre-drill my pilot hole with...
The frontal area of the core (finned part) not including the tanks. Jaysin
None the less it looks like a really good and safe way to compress coil springs and it wouldn't be that hard to copy. Jaysin
A good rule of thumb on radiator sizing is that you want 20% more radiator area in square inches then the engine has in cubic inches. I.E. : 350...
The title of this thread should be "Ugly Audi & cool cars". That Audi is horrible looking, the lines don't really flow well and it looks like it...
I just wanted to put in my $.02. I run an electric fan on my 37 chevy pickup for a couple of reasons, (1) hot cam 327 that really likes to spin...
This is funny. I have seen this trick on half a dozen or more old race cars and several hot boats and always wondered what the extra stud or bolt...
Man. I dig the exhaust system. That's the right way to do the dumps. I'd love a rid ing that with the dumps open, I bet the Tin Indian sounds...
I, too, think you have done some B-E-A-utiful work sir. Torque reaction would be a concern of mine as well, but with the work you've done here I...
I love makin' my own tools. Nice job man. Jaysin
I have no Idea how I missed this thread until now, I want to thank ALL of you for what you have done for this bill as well as thank Assemblyman...
Thanx very much guys. I will go by and pick it up tomorrow. Does $300 sound like a good price? I honestly don't know what kind of shape all the...
OK, I need some HAMB help with some parts questions I have. I have been knocking around the Idea of building a two man lakes modified out of a...
This is the only way to use a hole saw in sheet metal. No mucking about with backer blocks or using mills. Just drill the 1/4" pilot and stick a...
Hey Kirk, They look good here, but what happened to all the tech pix at the beginning of the thread. Jaysin
Mine has a stock gap of about 1/4"-3/8" and it has never hit the cab. I think that I would not go closer then 1/4". 3/4" would look fine though,...
Here's the second half. Alright, now for the fun stuff. I missed the shot of us hoisting the collar up in place, mostly because my father and I...
This is a post I did on the Garage Journal in my shop build thread. I would have retyped it here but I am being lazy. Here's the thread if you...
I'd try to make it. Need to put some new shoes on the truck, but I should be able to pull it off by then. Set the date an place. Jaysin P.S....
A word of caution, Ali can work harden and crack from vibration so keep an eye on them for leaks. Nice job though, I like them much better then...

I shoot for dead nuts on anything I build (whether it's a car frame or a storage rack) but when it's all welded up I will accept 1/16 unless it is...
I like your masking tape joint, real eazy and real cheap. I have used hose clamps with 3/8" holes drilled in them to tack the joint through. It...
I like the start, I'll be watching this one continue to come together. Not a real traditional build but you wont catch flack from me. Jaysin
