Dennis, how's the recovery coming?

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

In answer to the question about the shocks... Yes you can run them 90 or straight up just usually that will limit the amont of travel you have and they may bottom out.. running them at an angle looks better, gives you more travel, and reduces the harshness of the shock making them last longer... in case you wanted to know.. that is what the Monroe man told me at the dealership a long time ago when I was looking for shocks for mine..

Nah not a power trip, if you wanna see one though I would be happy to oblige. We never filter as that ruins a community and doesn't allow the information to be spread. Removing provocative pictures is a community wide decision that was made many years ago to keep the forum readable with kids around. It's been a long standing policy to keep the sites family friendly due to many guys on here reading the site with their kids to get them into the hobby. Not to mention there are many children who actively read and post here. If you have an issue with policy please take it t PM and I would be happy to discuss the reasons as soon as you return from your vacation.

Been busy doin this 390 F*RD motor to put in a 73 F-250. When my hand gets better I'll have to get into some heavy duty and dirty work.

That intake manifold was so heavy I had to use the lift to lower in onto the engine not to damage the gaskets. When I was younger it was tough also. I had to climb in the engine compartment and straddle the engine to lower it. Man they are heavy,

BTW I did this before my operation.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Thanks the hand is doing OK. It got a little swollen and hurts now. I was doing too much with it, so now I'm just chill'en, and doing nothing until it heals. I can't wait.

Seen that video before Dave. That guy is NUTZ. :uhmk::uhmk::uhmk:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

You make good use of those shopping karts. Did'nt you make a engine stand out of one? Engine looks better than new.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Yes I want to put some small wheels on the basket. Here's the one I made into a engine and transmission stand. It works perfect. :metal:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

That's there problem. Low life's around here leave them all over the place abandoned for weeks and months. I'm doing my part to clean up the the neighborhood. :lol:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I love it. I'm stealing the hose real idea.:mm:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

It's a Crager that was on the 73 that was bent. Works great, and looks good too. ;)

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Hey Dennis, since I haven't been paying much attention, what was the surgery for?

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Carpal Tunnel Release surgery. ;)

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

they wanted to do that to me too , luckily it healed out of its own , basicly they open up the tube in youre wrist where the tendon runs through so the bump in the tendon causing the carpal tunnel doesnt get stuck anymore
they sumtimes call it triggerfinger too as it clicks when the lump is passing through the tube

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I have trigger finger also but only on my left hand. I think that's caused by arthritis. I don't have any Carpal Tunnel symptoms in that hand since the surgery on my right hand. Go figure, the doctor can't explain it either.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

it might be because you couldnt do a lot after the surgery and like on my hand the lump healed back to normal basicly carpal tunnel starts as an irritation of the tendon wish swells and gets stuck that causes it to irritate even more , giving it a rest makes it go away most of the time

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

It was immediately though. Next day no tingling, burning or numbness in both hands. I'm not complaining. Don't want to go through it again on my left, but if was still bothering me I would.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

WOW, I can't believe I made the cover of 60-66 Chevy truck Calendar. :metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal:http://www.lulu.com/content/legacy-l...rucks/12691160

I really don't deserve it, but I'll take it.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Very cool. They must have felt for ya. With your hand and stuff.:lol: You deserve it.:lol::smoke:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

hey its a nice pic with good lighting a bit of a classic setup to the truck itself and all that , maibe next time get a pinup girl in a half opened greasy overals and a wrench looking interested in the engine :P .
most pics taken from unfinished projects are dark because there hidden deep inside the garage while there being worked on , and it just IS a good looking truck

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I'm glad to see your photo made the cut. That's a cool shot with a lot of interesting detail to study. Congrats!

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

:metal:I think you need to make a calendar.:lol: Is it just me:smoke: or is your thumb freakishly large.:lol:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Yeah, you know what they say about big fingers. :haha: :haha: No it's just the angle I took the picture. Kinda hard to hold the camera with your left hand. :uhmk:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Unless you're left handed?? Then it's holding the camera w/your right hand that's a beach. No wait, that's a pen.....

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I'm right handed, and the shutter button is on the right side. That's what makes it hard to use with your left hand. :uhmk::uhmk::lol:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

put it on movie and then take a still at the right spot , thats the great thing about digital cams
