    Walkie talkies

    Here you go. I was mistaken -- the phones are used in conjunction with radios to send messages. Give it a watch, pretty neat stuff.

    Walkie talkies

    Some people have figgered out a way to use cell phones as radios, so "curious ears" can't pinpoint who is saying what, and I believe there's also a way to encrypt your transmissions while using this method. Buddy of mine sent me a video, I'll try to find a link. You type your message in a text...

    Walkie talkies

    We use ours when we're out in the deep country hunting or 4-wheeling.

    Walkie talkies

    My buddy also likes the Midland units. I was gifted a Baofeng UV-5R, and it's a good little radio. Another low cost option.

    Let's see some pictures! I'll be doing this on my E-body once I get my butt in gear.

    General Lee today

    I hate how those things look, but once they get the technology dialed in, the electric trucks will be real contenders for towing with all that torque.

    Grinding

    First thing I would do is make sure your fluid is fresh and at the proper level. Does it make the noise at idle? How about with the clutch pedal depressed? My guess is it might just be a bad clutch release bearing or front bearing.

    The current price of one gallon of Super Clean cleaning solvent. Wow.

    Good to know. I wear gloves about 50% of the time when I use it, I think it's time I bump that up to 100%. I've seen it remove paint, so I always kinda knew it had some sort of nasties in it.

    How should I prep for a color change over existing good paint?

    Thanks! I appreciate all the help. I like the glazing putty idea, will hit YT for some videos.

    How should I prep for a color change over existing good paint?

    Finished the door and fender yesterday,and it was a scramble. My neighbor had to leave town for a work event, so I was rushing to get the door put together last minute. The paint turned out okay, a little bit of orange peel and a couple small runs. As mentioned, proper lighting would've helped...

    The current price of one gallon of Super Clean cleaning solvent. Wow.

    This stuff works great and is $4-6/gallon, depending on which Dollar General you go to.

    How should I prep for a color change over existing good paint?

    Ahh, I understand now! Thanks for the tips. I did get one small run on the clearcoat, but luckily it's in a spot that won't be noticed.

    How should I prep for a color change over existing good paint?

    Interesting. I need to buy more clear anyway for the outside, maybe I'll try that.

    How should I prep for a color change over existing good paint?

    Thanks guys. The instructions for the base said 3-4 coats, so I decided on 3 for the jambs and I'll probably do at least 4 for the exterior The clear said 2 coats, so that's what I did. Should I have been more hesitant to lay the clear down? It was actually surprisingly easy.

    How should I prep for a color change over existing good paint?

    So far, so good. Shot the jambs with base and clear. The times between coats were much shorter than I was expecting, so the process moved quickly. I'll hang the door and fender on the car tomorrow and finish up.

    No A bodies in Flagstaff

    I apologize, my ignorance is showing. A quick glance and my brain thought "Roadrunner" and I saw R/T badging. I now realize R/T is a Dodge thing.....don't drag me over the coals!

    Your best gravy secrets

    This is my recipe for sage gravy from when I was the saucier at Canyon Ranch. It's a health spa, so if you're not counting calories, you can boost the butter. To help deepen the flavor, saute the onions until they're quite dark, but not burned. Roasted Chicken with Gravy | Read & Be Well |...

    No A bodies in Flagstaff

    I was in Flagstaff yesterday and drove past the car show -- really wanted to stop but was on a tight timeline. Did you see the red Roadrunner R/T with the white top? I saw one heading towards town, thought it might be going to the show.

    How should I prep for a color change over existing good paint?

    It was light gray. I remembered the advice here and I sanded a patch on the old fender to check.

    How should I prep for a color change over existing good paint?

    Alright, alright, I won't shoot clear over the entire car. But yes, she's pretty easy on the eyes. Were very good friends--I wouldn't do this for just any old neighbor. I finally had some time to get started. Wet sanded both pieces and primed the fender. Heading out of town this weekend and...

    So how sad is this

    The only thing that should change as we grow older is our wisdom, which might modify our behavior since we probably won't make dumb decisions like we did in our youths. But I refuse to conform to any stiff, button down world....I'm gonna be ME!

    Time for another beer

    I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a cold beer. The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking. My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing, and I said, "Nothing." The reason I said "nothing" instead of saying "just thinking" is...

    1967 Dart Value help please

    It's amazing how many sellers put ZERO effort into cleaning up their stuff before listing it for sale. Imagine how much nicer it would look after an afternoon with a soapy bucket. I don't have an opinion on value, but I am curious to see how much it sells for.
