  1. Being tazered does sound kinda rough but getting kicked in the face by a pair of shiny black dress shoes was no picnic either. Ah the old-en days.
  2. I know this may sound stupid ----but i thought the 15th was Saturday, but it is not.
  3. As goofy as this may sound that two part epoxy stuff that comes in a round log from autoparts store works real good. We have used it on 4x4s that have had pretty large rock gashes and it sealed it up and stayed sealed till tank was replaced. just make sure you smash it in your fingers till it turns a solid color and it will stink pretty bad.Just dont put over dirt and it will stick like death. To answer your question i personally would not try welding it myself..
  4. Lest this becomes a fail blog and not a build thread..i took some less self-deprecating pictures.. LoL Pulled it out to do quick shop clean and i think this is the height im going with for now. I would like to go a little lower and roll the fenders but.. I am afraid if i drop to much it will settle to low and i will have to start over, plus i dont go anywhere without at least one of my kids.Wheels look big but they are only 13" s
  5. Although the swing arm would have taken less time if i would have just bought and pressed bearings in..The yellow springs i got from you, made car sit awesome but cant go that low with these tires. I was thinking more like "The planet of the apes " with Foghorn Leghorn as the astronaut... AND on that note, quick tip to anyone getting ready to disassemble stock 510 struts..If shaft doesn`t slide right out DO NOT and i mean DO NOT push shaft down into strut and give it a really hard jerk , like a slide hammer . OLLZ.. It`s like when you get done with the garden hose and throw it on the ground and it sprays you in the face..Theres like a 2% chance it can hit the trigger and a 98% chance in will..
  6. Your trucks just about done and with a smooth paint job it would be very close to it .. But, if confirmed there is a bunch of new parts hanging on the car.. But, not to many people sell a car if there is nothing wrong with it.. But, autotragic or not that car is probably fast as hell. My decision is i cant decide..
  7. Pictures from last night ...like you give a crap but .. this is probably the final rear height. front is still up in air tires are off and jack in front for these pictures.
  8. We live next door to and across street from three families of barrel racers and penners and i think you`ve forgotten about daily stall cleaning and getting ride of waste. My oldest son makes enough cleaning stalls every night to buy anything he wants ANYTHING..I can leave cars parked for six - nine months with absolutely no ill effects or money output at all..Try that with a horse. That`s just my opinion but i hate horses, accept maybe made into hamburger.
  9. I used second gen VW jetta 85- 87 hoses to route from cam cover to air cleaner they seemed to already have bends just needed trimming . The red arrow is pointing at hose that fits inside each other like pvc pipe. The pcv valve ( on this engine ) is woven covered hose on manifold behind that vacuum hose with bolt in it.
  10. Setup rear for height today.. left camera in garage and once burglar hurter is set it`s a scary bitch to unset in the dark so didn`t want to .......i wanted to run 215x60x13 tires and cant seem to find any that size ( since my rears will need to be replaced )and dont want to run two different sizes front to back. anybody know a source. Funny thing i punched that tire size into Google and American racing tire sells them ,and they actually look like street type tread, so im stoked and start trying to find a dealer and it`s a Australian only company LoL So how low can the fronts go without adjusting toe 2" or 3" ? Or not at all.........I probably cant even go 3" because tires are pretty wide but was wondering Edit..... i did go 3"+ down today but tires were way into the sheet metal on rear.
  11. Dudes kinda like the tire whisperer
  12. I picked up this really cool brush guard for my sons Bronco II whatdaya think??
  13. Well me and my son were headed up to pick up some parts for this project and thought we would take his bronco II. We got as far as the truck stop by yonder freeway and heater core starts really leaking. So we go back load all the tools and whatnot into 280zxt and got as far as Oly when the volts start reading lower, and lower then crap it`s like 12.3 anyway so much for napa quality since alternator was put in just prior to Carls jr meet. heres some video of our trip messing with my wife who has towed more vehicles than most people ever will before we were even out of high school. Hey but at least it aint raining so we might as well run battery dead with radio........................no not that RADIO CRAP

    Matt's 521

    So i seen this the other day and then went out, and looked at the truck i have and it looks very much like your picture ( but it`s kinda a pos ). Soooo i was over at friends house today and his truck is very looow mile, almost perfect specimen and it does that weird overhang thing also..I think 2 other people have answered the question but there is no way the truck i looked at today has ever had any damage.
  15. Well tight ass was, maybe, a little harsh ..............
  16. All hail Rustina Slayer of the rust monster!!
  17. Why be such a hard nose ..So next time he asks a question you think wasn`t searched good enough for are ya gonna write " search feature is your friend " ? ( said in your most tight ass voice ) The answer seems to be that they are shit, because When Noobs came to my house we drove around to local abandoned 620s looking for a better one than he has now..Which i think is the one mentioned in 2008 thread..
  18. Kamikazi .....with a thread post like that yer welcome ta stop by anytime and take a leak in my yard, if the need ever arises. peace
  19. Got radiator in, soldiered some of the wires together for alternator then went to put alternator on and DOH! oics are after radiator was back out but still..Funny i left bolt loose to remind me and everything, cuz this happens to me almost every time Anyway that`s how my day went.
  20. Maybe ALL four wheels (( on the car )) throws yur perspective off a bit.. And the pos rep came from me missing the multiquote thing ya Dr Pepperhead
