Fit up -- and cleanliness... just as important as skills for the less experienced guys.


To me it's like golf. An average golfer hits into the rough - he can't recover... the pro hits into the rough behind a tree and puts it on the green. Same thing welding... give yourself a decent chance FIRST by making your fit up spot on... cause it's way easier to hit when you're in the fairway. :welcome3:

Nice work!

A little touch up of the undercoating as frosting on the project :D

Replaced the old fuel line link and added some heat shielding.

Things may progress even slower for a while now since Tucker (with an F) took me down yesterday and appears to have damaged my right knee. :(

A buddy (our age) playing in a Thanksgiving Day tradition (fathers vs sons) got his knee taken out by one of the Labs at the game -- who decided he should be tackled. It mostly just sucks to be old.


Personally -- I feel sorry for poor little T(f)ucker... He probably needs a loving home.


:lmao: :catfight:

I was just heading down the 2 to 1 slope in the backyard to pick up some litter that had blown in and he charged perpendicular to my direction from about 40' wanting to play........put me on my face. Knee is swollen and popping and doesn't want to straighten, cane required for navigation. http://d26ya5yqg8yyvs.cloudfront.net/gerg.gif

On the other hand a cane can provide some unique life experiences...

Sorry to hear about the knee. My lab took me out on my way to answer the door months ago. I can tell you that A face plant down the stairs does not bode well for door to door solicitors no matter how cordial the greeting or enticing the product.. Brutus has yet to explain to me why a doorbell initiates perpetual 360 spins in addition to the incessant barking. I would have thought the barking to be sufficient

Sieg, with all your newfound mod powers perhaps you could bestow on us a "this thread is worthless without Vids" smiley?

When the knee is up to task a soundbyte and drivers impression report shall be due. Please?

George is such a tool.............:D

This is my cane: http://www.momentusgolf.com/images/c...istributed.gif
It has a 48 oz. solid steel shaft........it was convenient and it's primary function isn't of much use right now. :D

You don't want to be on the stairs when Tucker's ascending or descending, Dane's aren't exactly ballerina's on stairs.

Mod's don't possess site altering powers contrary to popular belief. Admin's carry the big guns, we just carry billy clubs and pack their ammo. :warning:


Here's a video for ya:

What feedback can you give me on the Global West Del-A-Lum rear shackle kit? Does it limit lateral movement as advertised?

Been a long time since I've been down that road and I am currently using poly bushings but theoretical thinking tells me that a stiiffer bushing is going to increase spring rate in a roll condition due to the leafs twisting and binding. If your car is currently pushing up front I would say go for it.
