    Another Rocker gone, 'George Kooymans' Golden Earring cofounder-guitarist

    Argh. When he announced his retirement a couple years ago I was bummed. I did not know he was ill. This band was soooo much better than their two songs that got American air play.

    Could someone explain how air shocks work to a newbie? And possibly how to adjust them?

    Get under the car and follow the air lines from the shocks. Some are on one line and some set ups have a line for each shock. If they are on the same line, there is no way to adjust the pressure from side to side.

    Rock and Roll Mt. Rushmore

    Yup, ...though Buddy's career and impact were so short I might supplant him with Jerry Lee or Orbison. Rock n Roll by most definitions is the earliest form of Rock music, mostly seen as confined to the 50's. Albeit, arguments have been made for a handful of songs in the 40's being the basis of...

    The Prince of Darkness won't be down for breakfast

    "One last show". Promise made. Promise kept. A legend for sure. Glad I was able to catch both Sabbath and Ozzy (solo) live a few times. The music of your life is very memorable. RIP

    So who's into tractors

    I wasn't into them much until I decided that I needed one :lol: Someone gave me a Ford 1500 that had not run in years. I pulled it out of a field and had it up and running the same day. Just a bad battery cable, incorrectly wired new start switch, and brake adjustment needed to make it...

    Fire Suppression System Installation Ideas

    I have mine mounted on top of the driveshaft tunnel in the back seat area. It's the most central area to the engine bay, drivers area, and fuel cell, and makes routing of the firing system pretty easy to set up. By putting it on top of the tunnel, if I need to get into the back seat area...

    A Not So Easy Oil Change?

    These quick lube places hire the least of the least qualified and least experienced. You pay for their training.... one way or another..... or even both ways.

    Mad max charger

    Great car. I have pondered building a wasteland-type car from a 3rd gen for years but never get to it. How DID you do the fender flares? <<<edit>>> never mind.. I see it re-reading the thread. <<<edit>>> Check out Wasteland All The Cars group on Facebook if you get a chance.

    Mad max charger

    Well, it was a joke about how both the Mad Max car went from shiny to smashed and dirty, and Max from sturdy and strong to "look at yourself, you're a mess".... (as in parking in the handicapped spot). I guess that is the type of comment you get from someone who has seen the Road Warrior 127...

    Mad max charger

    Clearly the Mad Max Charger and river are experienced. You didn't notice it was parker in the handicapped spot? It sucks getting shot through the knee.

    Ideas on a larger capacity radiator.......

    The car sounds like a hot rod, not a restoration... so I don't see why you'd go Gen Ray. Just buy a generic giant aluminum radiator, fab some mounts and use your saving fro something else. Aluminum radiator options are practically endless.

    Looks great. The square headlights work. Would be interesting to hear how the fender flares were done.

    Tor Red vs. Hemi Orange

    In any case, you are better off having the paint supplier shop analyze your existing paint and match it rather than having them mix it to a code and hope it matches the way they mixed it the first time.

    What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

    Well, I worked on the spouses Honda. Why? Because Jiffy Lube forgot to bolt the belly pan back on all the way and it fell off and was dragging under the car. Thankfully no other damage was done as she was wise enough to stop and call me. Jiffy Lube $%#@&!

    What did you do to your Mopar today?

    Putting on the red paint on the two-tone red/white on my 57 Dodge Coronet. Doors and fenders shot today. Almost done! It's been a long and winding road.

    Front Tires Rubbing Advice

    I'm running 245/60/15 on an 8" wheel with 4" offset. They do not rub. I would not go to a smaller tire. It looks good as is. Wider tire = better traction. Your easiest solution is to put a few rounds into the Torsion bars, which in my opinion, will also make the car feel better when driving it.

    Loose steering box mount on K-Member

    FWIW, these mounts flex from the factory. If you put a dial indicator on the mount and turn the wheel you can measure it. So... besides getting a better weld on there, adding a reinforcement gusset can also improve things.

    Finding top dead center with a 9/16 wrench

    Take all the spark plugs out so you are exerting minimal force on the bolt. This will eliminate the risk of breaking the bolt or stripping the hole out.
