2 are done! ran out of paint :-\

I was gonna buy that car dammit!

I probably could do it. I just have no idea where to hook things into, or what gets capped off. Is there a good write up somewhere? with lots of pictures?

Is there anyone in northwest Washington who can help me do a weber swap? I'd normally go to one eye, but he is working all the time now. Thanks! John

bought some green paint. I guess its going to be green.

that would be awesome, but i'm doing it with a rattle can.

What is the acutal name of the cone shaped washer that is on the end of the axle? there is the castle nut, then a flat washer then there is the cone shaped one. the guys at napa had never heard of one before.

I'm trying to decide what color to paint the rims of my car. Its a black EA82 GLSW on ugly gray Nissan steelies. I'm thinking about black, but i would rather have color like green or red. I'm also going to paint a piece of my grill guard the same color. What do you think?

Its been so long that I'm startin to get a twitch. I gotta have my fix! :-p

Its gonna be mounted on 4" Thule racks. anyone have a fairing sitting around they don't need?

I want something big enough to hold 2 28" tires. and i have all the stuff i need just laying around waiting to be used

I am thinking hard about making a roof rack. A big one. 30" x 60" Anyone done something similar to this? I'm trying to decide what to use a slats. maybe wood? I appreciate all ideas. Even the ones that say dont do it. I'll ignore those

Something else I would like to throw up here is my discovery of Hammerite. Its a paint that bonds to rust and then prevents said rusty item from becoming more rusty. I am going to apply liberal amounts to the rusty patches on my car. :banana:

I think they're kind of hard to see during the day. But other than that, I like it.

The side marker lights have been rewired as turn indicators

Paint!

In WA its required i think

I'm trying to think of where to put the front license plate, but I don't have any ideas. I don't want it in the middle of the guard.

It's not done. I cleaned off the rust and put on a coat of paint today. I get paid on Friday, so i will get more steel to make a guard for the lower portion. I'm thinking some steel pipe that will fit underneath and wrap around the sides of the front of the car. What? could you please edit this with some punctuation? :-p

Better Picture

It's assembled and attached! Now i just need to clean off the rust and paint it. And add some more side protection.

the bottom of the guard will be cut off

Freakin rain. cant weld stuff till it stops. So far: Sort of what it will look like: Still a lot of stuff missing. Bracing and such I am aware of that. The upper thing is mostly for looks. And doors of other cars.

My dad took one look at my designs and nicknamed it "stumpkiller" Time to get welding!

I pulled a grill guard off a junkyard Isuzu pickup. Its the perfect width to wrap around the front of the car. Really lightweight too. only about 20 pounds Gonna modify it to replace the the plastic bumper and throw on some extra lights. I also want to incorporate a skid plate into the front to protect the now exposed radiator. Pics when i get home! What it looks like
