When our dad passed, my brother said the smartest thing that I’ve ever heard fall out of his mouth. “We ain’t sad for him, we’re sad for us.”

You either need good brakes or a good horn. But, let me tell ya, it takes one hell of a horn to make an oak tree move out of your way!

Been working on the girder for my new bike project. Trees are almost done, legs are almost done, gotta order material and learn to cut single point threads to make my pivot bolts. Would have been cheaper to buy one! But, what fun is that, then my bike would look like too many others.

Girder legs will be about 36" long. could be worse, rake is only 35 degrees.

My latest obsession. Because suspension is for sissys! Next on the list is a girder front end. Hope to have a bike for sale by spring.

Have you had a chance to get this up and running? If it works as advertised, it would be an awesome addition to the shop!

The skulls are tequila bottles. The hood and front end are a little too over the top for me. When you weld S@#! to your car just for shock factor (saw blades), I'm out.

I had never thought of reversing the latch! Next time.

The hinge pins must be in line for the doors to swing smoothly. I removed the hinge pins and replaced it with a threaded rod, then braced the snot out them. There would be nothing wrong with the kind that has the brace. I don't remember the brand. I found the ad in a mini truck magazine. Leave...

I have done it 1.5 times (only 1 door on a truck). some things I have learned: Install the hinges as close to the outer skin as possible. install the door in as close to the correct spacing as possible with the adjustment at its bottom. leave all of the adjustment to the "up" direction, as the...

Roll a piece of tig rod around the end and hold it in place with 3 or 4 good tacks.
