    What are you working on today??

    The pictures actually make her look a little cleaner than she was on the body. She was fairly straight on the driver's side (with the exception of the cancer in the cab corners and rear fender), but the passenger side was crinkled up in a few spots to where it couldn't be straightened without...

    What are you working on today??

    Looking good! I got Lucy loaded up over the weekend. The metal recycler here that I use was closed by the time I got her loaded up, so I'll scrap her at some point in the week. My poor little girl cried when we got home and she saw the old girl on the trailer. Makes me pretty sad honestly. The...

    Yuck, been there plenty of times before. Glad it's coming back together though! This was what I encountered a few weeks back on my '99 7.3. Had a cylinder drop out on the way to work, and had to drive it home shuddering the whole way. Buzz tested it at our shop at work, all buzzed good. Not...

    What are you working on today??

    Working on one of my turbines at work right now. We had a vibration event that led to some blade damage about a week or so ago. It's only a little guy at 15,000 hp, but it's a screamer at 5,100 rpm (for a steam turbine at least). Getting ready to ship the rotor off to have it inspected, and...

    Put the new Sinister Diesel charge pipes on Sarah (new Powerstroke), and started stripping Lucy (totaled Powerstroke) to the bone.

    What are you working on today??

    Well kind of a sad story, but right after I replaced the steering box in my stroker, it got wiped out by a 16 year old driver. I was turning right with a trailer on, and she tried to pass me on the right. I haven't heard from their insurance about a total loss, but the appraiser is now calling...

    What are you working on today??

    Went after the power steering box in the stroker. After 475,000 miles, the pitman arm was so siezed that I stripped a pitman arm puller of its threads, and ended up having to cut the output shaft. 20 tons of force later in my shop press, and viola. That's after the entire press jumped about 2"...

    Eek, I bet that was a fun ride... Good looking fish plates on the repair!

    What are you working on today??

    The ramp pegs on my buddy's trailer were completely cracked out, so I repaired those before loading up the other Mopar. I decided to take my mom wheeling, she was smiling so much that her face hurt by the end of the day. Like any big kid, I found a puddle and had to jump in... when I jumped in...

    What are you working on today??

    More fun at my house. Over the weekend I dropped the transmission and t-case in my Powerstroke to go after the flex plate. A weak bendix in the starter led to partial engagement of the starter pinion with the flex plate, and it chewed a few of the teeth in half. Talk about a fun job. I will say...

    What are you working on today??

    Sounds like I need to come visit! My c's were basically toasted a long time ago when I went up Baby Bear out at flat Nasty. It was bad enough that you can hear my buddy Nick scream at me to stop because he thought I actually broke my passenger side C. Turns out, I just snapped the shaft, and...

    What are you working on today??

    Thank you much! I've thought about completely linking it out (3-link up front with a 4-link out back), but since it's an XJ (unibody) the plating required alone wouldn't be worth it. If I ever want to go bigger than where I'm at now, I'll likely just build a tube chassis buggy. I've got dreams...

    What are you working on today??

    Finally got the other Mopar back on all 4 tires. C-gussets, a minor truss, reamed the new knuckles to fit my 1-ton OTK steering, boxed the passenger side upper CA mount, boxed the track bar mount, and reinforced it, and a heims on each movable link including the track bar. I will say, one of...

    What are you working on today??

    Got the jeep up on stands right now. New leaf spring bushings in the rear, boomerang shackles, rebuildable heims on both the upper and lower CA's, bushing to uniball conversion on the upper CA mount of the axle, and a new front axle housing. On the housing I'm boxing it, doing a minor truss, and...

    What are you working on today??

    Still wiring the car up. Had to figure out a way to keep the switched 12V+ signal line live while cranking, so I wired a couple diodes between the “start” and “run” wires on the ignition switch to feed my relay.

    What are you working on today??

    Dang that’s crazy, what’s the history on the truck? Hopefully someone wasn’t dumb enough to put a couple ugga-duggas on it for good measure. Then again, I’ve seen dumber things.

    Ouch, I can't say that I've ever had the sprocket on a VP44 hang up like that. Did you ever get it to release?

    What are you working on today??

    Hi Frank, here's the build thread for my car '66 Monaco Resto-Mod. The basics of why I modified my suspension are because I wanted the car to ride on air bags rather than the stock suspension, and I also centered/raised the engine up so that I could clear headers and a deep sump oil pan. The...

    What are you working on today??

    Putting the inner fenders, header panel and grille back in the car so that I can keep wiring. Had to do some fitting to clear the suspension work. My custom plate for the stroker came in the mail too!

    What are you working on today??

    No joke there. My grandpa always told me "if there isn't oil under the diesel, there isn't oil in the diesel". Then when this happened, he told me I took his proverb too far.
