I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the great articles. I also wanted to say thanks to those who have voted on mine. I figured it would come in last just because it was not actually a car related subject. I am glad to see some have still voted on it. Thanks everyone.
Man, there are a lot of good tech articles to choose from but who can't use -.modern axles in a banjo! .
I had a hard time picking one as well but felt that the home-made quick-change was my favorite out of them all..
Thanks to all who put somethin up there. Lots of great stuff this time!! Big thanks to all who voted on #14!! At least I know 150 people can use the info I put out there and that makes me warm and fuzzy inside.....or that might just be the wiskey!!
No.11 because it was too damn easy.Several other things that I know I will be using.Thanks to everyone.
I went for the tail light housings. I just love a good hammer form. Modern axles in a banjo was a close second! Good work everyone!
