No chicks at my house or Posters ... I have daughters and friends of daughters that help out in my shop.
My father in law had posters hanging in his shop years ago ..
When my girls were young, My wife cut out the all XXX parts and left the rest of the poster hanging .. He did take them down after awhile....


We just barely get anything done anyway..,
We have a Northwest Motorfest car show next weekend.. so we wont get anything done then either..

Logan car show was great. Very nice location. Lots of shade. If you have never been there put it on your list. Not to many pics. Did find some good house art at a garage sale.

Re: Daverods project 66

Painted my bed sides and some other stuff. Ran the **** out of the grill support. Did 'nt put enough hardner in the mud on the tailgate so it has to sit in the sun for a few. Still need to paint the front of the box then I get to put it together.

Is that a night stand? I like it. Knowing you it will end up being a tool box.

Re: Daverods project 66

I was thinking a flywheel or a piece of granite. I'm not sure how thick you can make laquear brfore it starts to crack. I've seen some cool tops with stuff inside the laquear. Saw one with hand carved fish in it the laquear was abour 5 inches thick.

No they don't do it that way. They just fill the hole. That cap looks like the way I'm doing my roof.

This ones for you Dave, We finally got together at the MotorFest after Dave and his wife made the 5 hour trip to the south western side of Idaho.
Lots of cars and trucks in the show and way too many to look at them all.
We watched the downtown evening cruise from the marble steps of the Idaho capitol building.
And thanks again for not kicking me............

I would love that, and a good place and time to meet.
I can make a airbagged truck hop. My son even made his 55 Caddy hop. It blew peoples minds. The cops didn't like it though.

Re: Daverods project 66

Home again. It was good to meet everyone. Had a great time. Bubba turned out to be to nice to kick in the nuts. That low rider had springs over the rods so I guess it had some suspension.I was thinking the same thing.

Re: Daverods project 66

All you need are 1/2" valves, and lines, plus strong bags and lots of pressure. Big tanks will help too for more hops. And lots of $$$$

Re: Daverods project 66

i drove behind a lowrider on a bumpy road , when they have the real deal hydraulics there basicly without any suspension unless they have some hydraulastic canisters (a canister with a membrane in the middle one end filled with hydraulic oil and connected to the hydraulic cylinder the other end filled with a compressable gas , look at the older citroën's they have them from the factory) mounted somewhere in the lines , and ride rockhard

Re: Daverods project 66

I installed air bags in a Ford Ranger, and the guy was hopping it at a cruise night. He popped the bag right next to me, and it stung my leg. I was only 5 feet away. It was firestone bags. Conitechs are stronger. But Slam Specialties are the strongest.
