You may be surprised at what you find when you remove the windshield. The pinch weld stays wet for a month after it is in the garage. Ask me how I know that. But anyway. If it has been wet for 30+ years imagine what it looks like in there. I would remove the windshield and the dash pad and sand...

After the Holidays. I am onto new projects at the moment. My wood hauler combo. Retired hydrostatic and a HD hand truck. Saved me 4 trips with the Vermont wood cart with each load. And I can ride. Work smarter not harder. And its a Honda. Very dependable. 686 desert Tan CARC. Happy Holidays.

I'm not nervous. I removed a few looked at them and reinstalled them. Once I tried beating one apart that looked bad. Not doing it again. I was tired before someone else actually got it to come apart with a sledge hammer. If it wobbles yes. To just change it? NO. Not here. Do as you wish. Happy...

That's just another example of one more original CUCV lost. 98% are gone and will never return to original equipment. I sold near perfect ones and seen them hacked and lifted as soon as they got home. Not all but lots. I destroyed a few plowing and that's the way it goes. They are machines...

I dropped off the used 6.2 heads at the machine shop this morning. I told them no hurry when ever you get to them. Sometimes that's a bad thing to do. I had an M1009 truck setting at a body shop for 8 years and told the guy no hurry when ever you get to it. One day I just went and picked it up...

New parts stash found. Over the weekend I did some sorting and moving some boxes crates around. I came across some parts I sort of forgot about. Chevybrit you are in luck the gauge is in the mail to you. Hope we can do some trading. I took the picture as I found the cluster and as I removed the...

The picture above shows the bow in the puller I am trying to use it to remove a steering wheel from my Kubota. I bought it to trash but it scared me when it bowed. I removed it and used my Mac puller and the wheel popped after I went all ham on it with the 1/2" impact. I was ready to find a flak...

Voodoo M1009 was still in the shop today getting a drivers door glass put in it. I also cut a window weather strip from a scrap 2017 GMC van. I cut it to fit and trimmed it just so it fit in the window track. I installed the glass and set the weather strip in. I applied some urethane adhesive...

While you are working at it and it looks so clean. If it were mine I would remove the body bolts 1 at a time and grease and never seize the bolts. That way if you ever want to take them out they come out.

I think you just violated a huge rule here. You posted a live auction. Get rid of it quickly. Delete it .

A new Bat. I hope the new mouth has nothing to do with the new Bat. I do speak a little backwoods myself. I think you are telling us. That the Milwaukee cordless ratchet does not come with a battery. And that you will buy one next month. If I type all that I have red lines underlining. Use...

https://www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-2668-20-2-Speed-Impact-Wrench/dp/B00NJKDL9U At that price get the Milwaukee. I never seen any good tools from Harbor Freight. I had the jack stands collapse on a build. Pittsburgh tools for heavy use. No way. IMHO. I value my skin to much.

Very nice. I like. Looks like a very nice un-hacked bolt on addition. Now while you are under there drop that sway bar and get a set of urethane sway bar bushings. That helps get rid of the dry rotted cracked rubber ones. Check your shackle bushing on the rear front springs. The ones in the...

For sure I would do it all wrong. I would get naysayers coming out of the wood work. I do have body removal down to a science now. I think I will do that on everyone I redo going forward. It opens up so many closed doors. Makes everything much easier. And if I did it in early spring. I could...

Yes I have most Milwaukee tools. I have the tool box vacuum. Handy little thing. Cordless and I can vacuum out all the vehicles with1 18 volt battery charge. I need the cordless ratchet yet, But my 1/2" and 3/8" impacts are Snap-On.

No cookie needed. But I can do it. Not fair I have done many. And what sealer are you waiting for to dry? And I will cheat a bit. I have cordless electric tools. They are far more superior to any air tools. I do use the air grinder with the 2" rolok pads to clean the surfaces. But 2.5 hours is...

On a dry sunny cold day with a sheet of plywood to lay on and a tool kit the world is the best garage. I have lay many a time on ice doing drive shaft and vehicle repairs. Many times is wet freezing rain. I always call it a motivational factor to get it and get it done as quickly as possible...

Never removed the top bolt from the bell housing from the top side. All are accessible from the bottom side in clear view with a 9/16" swivel socket and a long 3/8" extension. Hate to tell you but you are doing it all wrong man. I change engines like some guys change oil. Fact is I pulled a few...

How fast do you need one? And do you have a starter support bracket?

Dug out the last set of loose heads I have on the property. I knew I had 1 but a few weeks back a member came for M1010 parts and found me another on in the M1010 he was salvaging parts from. I am going to drop them off and get ahead on the build with my parts. I bought the front calipers and...
