Thanks guys its really bad. I love my dogs they are like my kids. Poor marshall is really upset too he has been laying around sulking all day and running around looking for her. It breaks my heart he came up to me just now and layed his head down on my lap and was just so sad. I think he can tell I'm upset.
I'm gonna pull the rear back out and level it and the perches. Rookie mistake! At least I have the measurements side to side now
Its copper nickel fuel line. It's made for fuel. It to late now they are already installed I'm not pulling it back out now. Thanks for the heads up.
Yeah if nothing else, use 4 cinder blocks set it up next to your factory diff on level concrete and match the angle. Harbor Freight has a cheap angle finder.
Yea I have a 2 of them one is a cheap harbor freight the other is a Irwin from Lowe's maybe? Cant remember
I dont have no level concrete but I'm gonna use my deck its level. well I built it so that may be questionable haha just kidding its level. Gonna set some cinder blocks on the deck make sure its level all four ways set the old rear up on it take my measurements, then set the perches and the new rear match that angle and weld it. The hard part is gonna be carrying 2 rear ends up my steps on my deck haha! I may try and use the bottom step to save my back. It was a ***** getting it in the car by myself. I had to basically curl it over the leaf springs then go back and forth from one wheel to the other walking it forward all while holding the pinion up to keep it from digging in the ground. A freaking concrete floor and a floor jack sounds like heaven right now. You guess don't know how good you got it haha jk
Well buddy I'll tell you. It's what I had to do. I stopped working on projects for about 10 years. And focused on building a shop. I could see I was getting older, about your age, and didn't want to keep doing it the way you're doing it forever. Trust me, been there done that. It was a long process. But it was fun, and all part of the journey. First was posts. Then trusses and roof metal. Then closing in one bay and concrete. Then more concrete. Then more concrete. Then more siding. Then roll up doors. Etc etc. And when I had the money saved up for a real sweet engine I had a decision to make. Finish my shop or drop it on the engine. Well I found a $600 sweet running 360 guess where the rest went?
That's an awesome garage! I completely agree I have to get something. I started planning a build about 3 years ago and me and the wife talked about buying a new home and I didnt want to drop a bunch of time and money into a shop just to leave it behind. So I waited. We are gonna start house shopping again whenever this Corona passes my 2 requirements are a shop or garage and land I can shoot on. Even if it's a short distance. I hate driving over an hour and going to a public range with 15 other jackasses I don't trust.
Even better if your gonna move. Get one already done. That you can add on to, of course.
Yep that's the plan. Last year we found the perfect place it had acreage, a really nice home (for her and the kids haha) and a huge workshop with benches and a half concrete floor and a hoist on the rafters. And it had an additional horse barn that could have been converted into another shop. But it was under contract before we could even look at itEven better if your gonna move. Get one already done. That you can add on to, of course.
I'm probably got spray it with red oxide rustoleum primer. Its 10 bucks a quart and sprays like a dream. I will drive it like that until I can start the bodywork. That's the primer I used on the floorboards and under carriage in sprays and covers wonderful. I am gonna go ahead and paint the engine bay and doorjamb now so I don't have to pull the engine and interior whenever I do start the bodywork.
Not permanently. I have spi epoxy and clear when I get to that point. The rustoleum is just temporary so i can drive it without it being 10 different colors haha
