Nice! Mike

Has anyone tried Cal Trac mono leafs without the bars? Mike

I had to use this type caulk in new construction. It will fill a large gap and I believe it will work for you. Building/fire codes can be pretty tough so I think you can trust this product. Maybe a ejection seat triggered by a heat/ flame sensor would be more exciting. Especially in a hardtop! Mike

I have to commend you on Bright colors! Mike

I want to add to my previous post that I purchased and used the Infinity Box system in my 65 build. Pricey but, what isn't? It was definitely a learning experience! The system work on grounds, completing circuits, instead of connecting the battery connector on, say the ignition switch, that...

My answers do not refer to OEM restorations (much more advanced systems exist today). #1: I like to build my own. #2: The OEM bulkhead connector is fine with OEM electrical loads. With vastly increased loads, I would use a grommet. #3: The better wire today should not have soy-based insulation...

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to grab a boiler combustion air fan that was going to the scrap yard at a school remodel I was running, before pouring the concrete floor in my shop. I ran a system of 4" DWV PVC from each of my 3 main stalls in the shop to the fan in the mechanical...

I still have a 440 I rebuilt in the early 80s. I found a similar crack in it. I veed out the crack with a grinder and filled it with JB Weld. I hasn't leaked in decades now. Mike

With excessive castor as the steering wheel is rotated the front of the car is raising and lowering. Mike

More negative caster steers easier but, tends to wander at speed. Too much, steers hard at low speed but, steadies that wheel at speed. We must have specs here in previous threads. Mike

My eye doc made me a set of all bifocal corrected for my astigmatism. I liked them so much I ordered another pair. I keep one in the house for use on the computer and one stays in the garage for up close jobs and welding. Got the cheap, clunky looking frames and spent less than $200 for both...

Ya. Single men:(. Mike

I have found steel tubing works for hole shrinking. Just cut a ring long enough to touch the axle while flush with the top of spring. Mike

I also did the center only. I was installing a fuel cell, so I did not need attachment points for a tank. Had a friend fab some sheet metal with rolled ribs. Mike
