    Under cover fuzz

    I saw a Porche police car that they used to catch a bullet bike on I15 a few years ago. It was marked.

    The family Commando build project

    The tube on the flares is one inch, the main fender tube is 1.5 inch, and the sheet metal is 12 and 10 gauge, a bit of overkill but its what was in the scrap section at SSS steel that was the correct size.

    Here are a few shots of how it looks with my rattle can primer. As you can see I have some bondo work to finish up.

    I'll try to remember to snap some photos tonight. I got busy catching up on yard work after installing the limiting straps on it.

    This primer is temporary. I don't want it to look like a pile of unrelated parts when I take it in for inspection.

    The family Commando build project

    I now have it on the road. I got a temporary permit to drive it so I can get things done for inspection. I have the soft top installed and have sprayed some primer on it to keep things from rusting. It drives nice down the road and is really smooth on the bumps. I need to have a bondo party to...

    For Sale - Best Offer '77 Jeep Cherokee - Parting Out

    Electronic Circuit Project Ideas?

    How about an electronic speedometer compensator that would correct the speedometer reading for oversized tires without having to swap the speedo gear. It would only work for the newer rigs with electronic speedometers. You could have two settings for those who switch tires over for winter vs...

    85 chevy half ton long bed

    As far as I know in 85 the only trucks from the factory that had a 205 were the one tons (like mine). My 85 205 has a slip yoke not a fixed yoke. However someone could have changed the factory setup to an older sm465/205 combo. If it were me I would find someone selling an old 1 ton, buy it...

    Thanks for the link I should be signed up now. I have been working on my doors and noticed that the plastic guide material that goes into the wing window slot is missing on one door and broken on the other. The missing plastic makes it hard to wind up the window. Any idea where I might be able...

    That would be great, I have tried to register for the site, but wasn't able to get it to work. I cut into the old tailgate and the rust inside is crazy. I can probably fix it but its going to take a lot of work.

    I ran down to Ra-elco and found some connectors so the rear lights are done. I also had to weld on new threads to the tail light housings since the bolts snapped off when they were taken off. You have to love rusty old jeeps. If anyone has a rust free tailgate that I could buy and save me some...

    78-79 ford f250HD front axle

    There is a 78 F150 crew cab out at the tear a part that I saw yesterday that has a high pinion d44 with leaf springs that looks just like the F250 leaf spring axles. It does have 5 on 5.5 lug pattern but that is an easy swap (I have the parts). Its on row 42 if I remember correctly.
