Look into getting a 1 phase to 3 phase VFD drive, which converts your single phase to a usable 3 phase for the motor. They run about $350, this is the one that I have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VDCV4X2/?tag=fabo03-20 . I picked up a brand new 80 gallon 3 phase compressor at an auction...

I live roughly an hour north of Seattle just outside of Burlington. There are several ways to solve your problems, it really depends on your budget and long term plans. 10 years ago I helped a buddy build a 36' by 80' main shop. Since then, we added covered "wings" to it so that it looks more...

Sorry to hear that you are going thru this. Having gone thru this before myself, I'll echo most everyone else's comments in here, get a lawyer. Ask your friends, interview a couple, find one that works for you, and tells you the real deal, not some happy bullshit. This is going to be a fight...

Rearend is out of the car right now, I'll try and get it back in in the next couple of days for some more detailed pictures of the tire location in the wheel well. Here's some pictures of when I moved it from the old house to the new house. In these pictures there is no motor or drivetrain in it.

We are in the infancy of this pandemic. It is going to get worse, much worse, before it gets better. Almost all of the projects that I oversee went to online only meetings a couple of weeks ago. My family is hunkered down and limiting trips to necessity only. My job is to protect my family...

As Hospitals become overwhelmed with patients, everyday emergencies (heart attacks, etc.) that would normally be treated in the ER will become fatalities. They won't count in the COVID-19 death toll but make no mistake they are a result of it.

I'm running 275/40/18 on a 18x9 rim with only a offset shackle kit and rolled fender lip. I have about 3/8" between the back of the tire and the spring pack and about 5/8" between the face of the tire and the body. With the short/stiff sidewall its plenty of clearance

So, I'll start by saying that this is definitely a less than ideal installation. However, that's AL-triplex wiring and the insulation is some pretty tough stuff, you need a good skinning knife to trim it. Under the correct circumstances you can handle that wire bare handed (not recommended but...

Get the tax parcel number, go to the county planning and permit department and have them go thru everything they can with you. You need to make sure that it is a certified lot (allows you to actually build a house on it), just because it's got it's own parcel number doesn't mean you can...

Move your clamps to the ends of the accumulator, that's how the Moroso instructions show it. Mines locked into a place with a C clip into a groove and the instructions were to place the mounting clamp on the outside of the groove.

Ink, I have had good success with both Matte Clear and Matte Black from SPI. I used the Matte Clear on my Rocky Mountain Dash insert. The Matte Black is a single stage that you can mix it anywhere from 4:1 up to 8:1. I used 4:1 on all my trim and bumpers, it's more of a satin or eggshell...

I used BMW M3 convertible seats that also have the shoulder belt integral with the seat. I made my floor pan flat and used 2" C channel under the floor pan that I tack welded to the floor pan then full welded the channel to my subframe connectors.

US car tools has an inner fender brace that ties into the upper shock mount

Unfortunately, mine is a jackstand champion right now and the foreseeable future. Too busy workingat what pays the bills to play with the toys. I am working on a nice collection of parts for that "someday" when work slows down a little.
