    1974 D100 frame off build up

    And this is what my frame currently looks like.... Taken the day I painted it I have brand new springs all the way around to put on, stainless brake and fuel lines, the steering box to put back that's completely rebuilt, (I sent the gearbox out for that) and all new ball joints, bushings, tie...

    1974 D100 frame off build up

    Parts I plan on powdercoating are misc frame brackets, headlight buckets, hood hinges, door hinges and calipers to begin with. Possibly bumper brackets, shackles and such.

    1974 D100 frame off build up

    I had mine sandblasted bare, it came back from blast with a 2 part Sherwin Williams industrial/ marine primer, I went to the local Sherwin Williams store and asked their "guru" what would be best to put over that particular primer and I went with his suggestion, another 2 part Sherwin Williams...

    1974 D100 frame off build up

    I took have an older Dodge truck that is down to the bare frame for resto, mine is an 83 D250. To each is own I guess but lowering them seems to be "the thing" these days and I definitely don't get the big attraction to lowering a pickup truck. It drives me crazy and often otherwise beautiful...

    D150 with a RV 440, just to see what it will run

    You suck. 19 here for a high today. Being "318 will run" talks about Cordova drag strip I'm guessing he's not terribly far away from me.

    Got a favorite dog breed? Which one and why?

    Been wanting another Lab ever since we lost our Bear, Bart and Scrappy several years ago/ but I keep getting shot down on that one. We have been on a cat "run" for a while now. We got our monster and Gizmo (cats) while we still had bart and Scrappy, who died off and the cats lived on. Monster...

    Anybody ever heard of a stretch belt?

    I've done them by putting them on everything as far as possible then a zip strip on the crank pulley just by where the belt isn't on then crank it with a breaker bar and socket til it's all the way on then remove zip strip

    Thin head gaskets?

    The last 318 head gaskets I bought ( haven't used yet) are marine ones. I have a couple of sets, one set definitely going into my 78 fury when I do the top end swap (don't want to hear it, as far as heads// I'm using what I have in a cruiser that will never see a dragstrip// you can probably...

    Parts store dudes automatically defaulting to the MOST expensive parts they have.....

    The ones I deal with usually swing the screen around so I can see it and I point and say "I want THAT one". I'm always asking what makes one version of the part I need. $40 and another of the same part $100. I am one I never get house brand unless they can tell me who really makes that part...
