  1. I need to make something to drag my gravel drive. It needs some flattening. Though it is about due for another 80 ton or so to fill it in again. Crazy how this stuff just sinks to China every few years and the grass returns. I spray it a few times a summer to keep it from turning too green(though the yard won't stay green?) WTH is that all about? Maybe I need to start driving on the yard LOL!
  2. Ya they are pretty bright. Can't wait to see it at night with trailer.
  3. Ohio George's pinto?
  4. I don't need no IPhone........
  5. Have a ball, Bob.
  6. Haven't seen Jim for a few years now. I met him at Milan Michigan a few years ago when we were both there for a race. Yes, I like how he built his and would like to mimic it.
  7. I have connections to build whatever I want for a visor. Damned if I can ever get around to it. Hoped someone would come up with something I like and I would just buy one.
  8. By the yellow color, it resembles a Kirkland Ranch truck? He was a member of ATHS and was on the early videos with Lindsay Crawford. He had a lot of water trucks in his video, many were ex military. Seems I recall he passed away in recent years?
  9. I always called those "Rockford spins" when I played with my remote control cars way back in the 70's. Haven't really felt the need to try it in a full size car......LOL!!! At least haven't found a place big enough to experiment.
  10. As long as the truck is out in the open and you can get IN/OUT easily? Ugh, with only being able to crawl through the cab into the bunk while in the garage it is a real PITA. Pull wire, get stuck, crawl inside and unstick wire, crawl out and pull, get stuck, crawl inside...........repeat. Man, why do I make everything SOOOOO difficult? It was raining and cold so I wasn't going to do it outside. Weather isn't getting better til next weekend and I have other stuff that needs done then. Sometimes I just want to sell everything and take up checkers? Oh, for the people that never heard the Beach Boys.......
  11. You know your shop is big enough when you loose a 12v71 in the clutter.....LOL.
  12. Lol.....so true that it isn't funny. I think the designers were midget acrobats.
  13. No Go Showboat...... Got some new 3/4" LED's wired up today.
  14. Dang Jim....you'd be the MAN!!! My sister got a brand new Pixy Stik in 1972 from the local bike shop. She barely rode it, kept it a long time but it's long gone now. Friend growing up had an Apple crate and it was the COOLEST thing ever(back then). Now they get stupid money for them. I wouldn't get picky if I found one priced right, but the sad part is you can't leave it ANYWHERE as it would be gone instantly. Like if I took it to a truck show or the race track. Fellow I know has a new Chinese version so it is no loss if it comes up missing. Paid like $30 at Walmart for it. Single speed version, but has little front tire and springer front end.
  15. I want an Apple Crate...just can't spend $2500 for it!!
  16. Friend has 03 Duece blue jean blue in color. He is collecting sheet metal so he can paint it his way but not mess up the factory stripes that you can't buy. My Softail custom was black...now it is Hyundai Blue. I wanted it a crazy blue pearl but this whole paint job cost me $30!! Couldn't say no.
  17. Got some wind therapy myself. Bit last night and then today to work. Nice.......
  18. Like typical OEM, they just put some dum-dum on the brace and push the panel onto it. Once the putty dries and falls off, the panel can resonate. When I fixed my lower cab mount, I too welded the rear panel to the bracing. Of course once I cut it open for the bunk I welded it all solid around the opening.
  19. Pretty sure my Triplex is 2" input. DW clutch sent me a dummy shaft to align when I put new clutch in.
  20. Just make sure the HI split is in neutral position before trying to move the other rail. I'm sure the detents would lock the LO split side from moving if the HI split side is not in neutral. Sure is one dusty, dry transmission. Mine looks like it has soaked in a sludge pit with all the fluids that seep from it LOL!! I clean mine off occasionally, but after a summer of driving it is coated with crap. It's just done plum wore out.
  21. Depends on your brand of Ether?
  22. Well...........if you work the Farm girl just right.....she might woosh and chug like that too? Maybe, just say'n.
  23. Finding a transmission with the sidemount like a Mack was what I thought was the hard part. I'd love to find something newer to put in my truck, but don't really have the room in my garage to pull the transmission and then do the fab work to get it back together. Throw in the push clutch and it really gets complicated...so I'm told.
  24. Being in the plastic and rubber industry forever I see stuff come in the door with these "things" in the box. Took a few years to realize what they were. We get stuff still stuck together or at least covered in material. Many times we see samples of short shots or the such...like these chamber diaphrams.
  25. Ya, Farm girl. I've had her videos come across my feed in Youtube. She is quite the looker and not afraid to show some skin. I'm not into the fake boobs, but I would let her eat crackers in bed LOL!!
