    Aluminum Plate

    Question for you guys.... my buddy has a storage lift and wants to make some panels to fill the center so he can store his 3 motorcycles on top and his hot rod on the bottom.

    Talked to Old Stufff

    I talked to Old Stuff the other night.... He says Howdy to everyone. He's doing well and just got back to working on his project. He's been spending a lot of time building a new house and hopes to log on soon. Was good to chat with him.

    Rear End / Disc Brake Assy

    Would one of you guys have any pictures or an exploded view of the disc brake / backing plate / emergency brake cable area on a 8.8 Ford Mustang I believe GT500 rear?

    Aeromotive Hose Ends

    Is there a trick to these things? S/S Braided PTFE Watched the video a half dozen times.... square cut, push the Ferrell on all the way & tighten it up.

    Compression Check?

    Thought I'd throw this here as well. In working on clocking my oil pump tang / intermediate gear I needed to put my #1 cly in the compression mode. Since you really can't get your finger in the spark plug hole I used a compression tester. Screwed it in and turned the crank using a breaker...

    Air Bag

    I'm thinking about a single bag on the center of my dropped I beam to help me get over drive way bumps and such... I wouldn't drive it aired up, it would just be for a few minutes at a time. Something like this...

    Rear Gears

    I just got around to checking what my rear gear ratio is. 1 full axle turn give me 3.25 turns on the drive shaft. Is this a decent rear end ratio for my 331 Hemi and 700R4 trans? I suppose I could change the gearing if had to. I'm thinking good for the hwy.....but not so good for smokey...

    Bobcat

    Look at this guy walking across my front lawn in daylight at 2:30 in the afternoon. I allow my Pitbull to wander around the front yard when I'm out front. She typically lays out on the garage apron or at the edge of the driveway when I'm working in the garage with the door open. We've had bear...
