I'm glad you can figure all that out. It's too much to wrap my brain around

if we were to take two 16 year old kids, say twins, and teach them how to drive and maintain a comparable ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) and electric vehicle and after say two years have them switch, I wonder what they would tell us? "What, you have to change the oil twice a year?" "What's SMOG?" "What's a tune up?" "So you have to rev your engine to 5,000 RMP before it makes top horse power and torque, why?" "What's that noise?" "Why does the car shake so violently?" "What do you mean you fuel up when you sleep?" "What do you mean you can drive your car across the desert, where do you charge?" LoL Engines vs Motors The BMW S85 engine develops 507 hp and 384 lb-ft of torque, and revs up to 9,000 RPM, making it the most powerful engine on their list. The Tesla Model S/X Large Drive Unit (LDU) aka motor produces 636 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque and spins up to 15,000 RPM. |

because it is public information and what are the likes that some dude across the globe is going to pay for some subscription service to get my address, then fly out to my house and do what, help me take out the dents on the bed of my beater, lol ??? trust me I have tried to get the addresses of the hit and run accidents I was in and it's not as easily obtained from a license plate as you think, unless you are in law enforcement of some sort the last screen shot below cracks me up, they are basically asking you to provide your personal information so that they can give you your personal information |

The key word here is "limited" in lower case. Lifetime Warranty, is to get your eyes away from the key word. |

The McMurtry Speirling mini Batmobile is very impressive. I don't watch racing much, Formula 1 is not exactly leading with technology are they. Your local round town runs are getting more better.

just showing that I do drive the truck daily, and love it beyond words, anyway a question for you all, and this is embarrassing cause I'm an IT Guy by day and a Forum Updater by night, yet I don't use technology for technologies sake, if you follow that logic, well my wife does this thing where she deposits paper checks into the bank on her phone and I just don't get that Wicket Witchcraft, do you do it also like that?

Love the build! If anyone gives me a paper check, I use my phone to do the deposit as well.

PSA: so I called up these guys off of Craigslist who call themselves Mobile Ding Performance & Paint. I'm sure you've all heard of 1 Day Paint & Body, well I thought their ad said 1/2 Day Paint, but it actual said they will get there in half a day, anyway they did a half donkey job, drank all my beer, and left, I went to leave them a bad review on Yelp but they must have taken their webpage down, I knew the rollers were a red flag !

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

Half the fun of working on these trucks is searching for parts. I'm just trying to minimize your fun level. You're welcome :uhmk:

I've said it before and I'll say it one more time when it comes to rust removal It Takes Two To Tango, meaning chemicals and abrasives, so I've been using Phosphoric acid from Home Depot for 20 years with great results it used to cost $5 bucks a gallon, they have changed the container about half a dozen times and further deluted the formula in California over the years but it still works, and it's the same sh!et you'll find in 90% of the fancy named brand miracle gimmick removal brands out there that cost 6 times more
yes I also wire wheeled this piece, as I do all my rusty bits, that's the abrasives part FYI there's blue tape underneath that duct tape so it comes off easier but still gets more better protection (cause protection is key, especially these days) |
