I dunno about guts to share what I'm going through, more like I'm numb to it all by now, and honestly dont care who knows what anymore. I'm too old for this ****.

Fords fullsize pickups are aluminum bodied, and glued and riveted together, but that doesnt make them better either.

Heres the back story to all this. Most of this has to do with one of my children. The last 10 years have been rough. She has bad mental health issues. Now at 18 years old, my 3 month old grand baby is living in our home temporarily the last 2 months pending CPS. CPS has been in and out of our...

Your stress is concentrated on the bolt attach points. This is where over time depending how you drive the car you will likely get cracking looseness and failure. Sure cracking can start at a weld seam, but is less likely because the entire structure is more rigid. As far as bolts go, case in...

I did a bit of research on mental health lately. All the boxes check off for what's referred to as "functional freeze". Yes apparently that is a real thing. On the surface everything appears normal to everybody around me. I go to work, am punctual, and function, but underneath I am mentally...

Thanks for the kudos Rusty. This is an old thread i replied to that seemed to pick up traction again. I used 2x3 box steel 1/8" thick. The lap plates against the torsion bar crossmember are 3/16". They allow a better load transition into the thinner crossmember since they are laying alongside...

Sorry, I dont agree with that statement. You can never make a bolted in subframe connector as strong as welded in for any length of time. Get a Lincoln, Miller or Hobart MIG, and buzz em in. Call it a day.

Sorry, no longer doing this. Gubmint wrecked my good time by wanting me to pay taxes on anything I make over $600 on any cash app, venmo, or PayPal etc. I sold out of my battery cables and shock plates before it went into effect then stopped. I'd rather trade parts for what I need, but I dont...

In the States we call that a "bug eye sprite"

I'm out of the wiring business.

M2 needs to do all the Hemi barracudas and Hemi darts

I'm gonna have to look for that one

Cats. Say hello to my two furry idiots, Jetta, and Hobbes. Hobbes loves his Bill Clinton stuffed toy. He loves to bite him in the face. It took Jetta about a week to warm up to him. Now these 2 are inseparable. We used to have 2 dogs but both passed from old age. I had Sadie Girl for 18 years...

I like it. Plymouth wagon w a dodge front clip.

I just saw this thread, and planned to just use gaskets, and route the wires so they dont touch. I also have high heat insulated nomex sleeves to go over the spark plug wires by the manifolds. I care about originality but not $600 worth of originality on something that is essentially a...

SBP slant sux car. Save the hood, decklid, lenses, gage panel and glass. Take the rest, fold in half and stuff it into a dumpster

Nice looking car, but not worth 50K

Add a small piece of wire as a jumper. Just a solder tracing is not strong enough

How far are you from Abilene? What do you want for it?

That would probably cost a fortune to get to Abilene Tx.

Some new ones. I didnt realize I already bought a burgundy Oldsmobile W30 already. Well now I got 2 of these if anybody is interested in one of em.

Looking for a 68-72 slant sux K frame if anybody has a straight one they plan to scrap because they are doing a V8 swap. I would be interested in it. Thanks Matt

What do you want for the roller dial radio?

I'd love to go to that store

Do you have a PN for that pan w skidplate on it? I cannot seem to find that anywhere online. They only show a heavy gage steel pan. If I need to the heavy gage pan I have, I can make a skid plate for it and weld it on.

I like that one

Was that an offroad jeep pan you put on? I like the welded on bash plate it has on it to protect it.

Well it's been a long time since I did all these modifications to fit this in the 69 coupe. I can see how the pan hangs lower. I bought a deep sump heavy gage steel pan with drain plug off a jeep site for an A904. I have not messed with the car in almost 3 years. Hearts not in it I suppose. Damn...
