Found this one on vacation a few years ago, it was in AZ somewhere. [IMG]
Any thermostat colder than 180 is a band aid and with a cooling system that is working anywhere near properly it will cause premature wear to the...
My compressor is in its own little room, it runs at a fairly low rpm and you can barely hear it when it kicks on in the shop. My little...
Yeah, the nv4500 is way more trans than I need for a 2wd truck. I have the nv3550 in my jeep and it is a nice shifting transmission with good...
I am getting ready to build an engine for a ad chevy truck this winter. I have a 77 350 long block I pulled from a truck at the junkyard. I was...
I always heat the bleeder with a torch a little before trying to remove them if they are stuck, always has worked for me.
Fill the float chamber with some gas and give the pedal a few pumps before you try starting it.
Nice thread hijack.
2003 jeep wrangler, I guess I'm not as old as you guys.
I have been wanting to find an AD chevy truck to work on this winter or spring. The year range for those style trucks is 47-55 right? I was...
I bought a hypertherm powermax 45 plasma cutter last year, well worth the $1500 I paid for it new. I cut 3/4 plate with no problem.
Fix the roof and keep it a coupe.
I like to use leaf spring bushings and dom tube for a sleeve. [IMG]
I wouldn't run the spark plug wires so close together.
That truck is awesome.
I have always wondered what made the cheap acorn lug nuts swell up. I would never put a capped or two piece lug nut on any of my vehicles, they...
I buy open ended lug nuts from summit, it cost me $25 to get 32 9/16 lug nuts for my jeep. They are open ended and seem to be good quality, they...
What's with the single shear a-arm bolts? You'd think for the price that they could come up with a better design.
I'm 15, I don't have any HAMB friendly rides but the next project I buy will be a 50s truck after I get my jeep done.
Thanks. I used a leaf spring bushing with a DOM sleeve for an isolator, then 1/4" 2x2 tubing to the frame. I plate the frame with 1/4 where the...
Looks good to me, here is how I mounted my 350. I know it's not HAMB appropriate but it's the same principle. [IMG]
I have a Hobart 187 and a Hypertherm Powermax 45 plasma cutter. I paid for them both by working, I'm 15 so it was an accomplishment for me. I...

You obviously don't live in the rust belt. Lot's of bolts snap or need heated to be removed in 10 year old cars around here.
I have a good machine shop about .5 mile from my house, everyone I have talked to says he does good work. So I took a steering knuckle over...
I love my Hypertherm Powermax 45, I have cut 3/4 without and issue. It will fly through 1/4 plate it you crank it up. Here it is sitting above...
Modified HF bead roller, used 3x3 .120 sqaure tubing. Next I need to make a guide for it. [IMG]
That's really good to hear is didn't go to the crusher.
