So let me hazard a guess here.... there's a roll bar in your future?

Need to acquire a tubing bender before a roll bar is an option. After seeing Dale's car yesterday feelings of bar desire have occurred among numerous other manly want emotions......

Beverly Shear or would this be bestest?

I don't have any experience with the rotary style shear.... but my guess is it would work just fantastic. It's hard to imagine doing any sheet metal work without my Beverly shear. And the Woodward tool would be the same if that's what a guy had.

I'm pinging the city, and Idaho power - to see if I can't get 3 phase in the new shed.... and then we'll see if I can't assuage some of those manly dreams!

Great day, great lunch company, and two fun 100 mile sprints on the interstate. Old Norwood even managed 17.2 mpg.
Scott, I was happy to help you out. When I drove into the neighborhood to pick up the notcher for you I was a bit nervous... and left my wallet in the truck, Lol. Anyway... the notcher looks like a good one, I'm sure you'll get good use out of it. Now that you have a tig welder and a notcher I might pay you a visit when I'm ready to upgrade my 4-pt roll bar.

During lunch we were talking about rear gear ratio's... if you want to go from 3:31 rear gears to 3:55's let me know... I have a brand new set of 3:55's that you can have if you want to try them. I bought the 3:55's and then decided to go lower and went to 3:73's. The 3:55 gear set only has a couple hundred miles.

Your car looks great... thanks again for lunch

Since the weather's going south around here......7.08" of rain in Sept. vs. a 1.29" average........I decide to remove the back seats and create a seatless option as future plans don't include hauling 4 passengers.

Everything is sitting loose now so any suggestions are appreciated.

I'd love to but tubs lead to numerous other "wants" and I certainly don't need anymore of those right now!
