    My 1941 Dodge Truck Build

    I'm a bit of a "suspension geek" and I want to build everything like a high end race car. A panhard bar is fine, but the fact that the roll center isn't on the same vertical plane as the centerline of the vehicle doesn't sound too appealing to me. I realize that this truck is still going to...

    My 1941 Dodge Truck Build

    Ah, I figured I'd post this too since it was in the background of a couple of pictures. My buddy bought a reproduction 31 RPU body and a 32 frame that he's going to be building. It'll be powered by a 2009+ spec 5.3L (variable valve timing and cylinder deactivation), mated to a 4L65E and finally...

    My 1941 Dodge Truck Build

    Thanks a lot guys! Thank you, thank you very much! I'm very happy and humbled to hear that I have been a motivation. As far as I know, I'm just a mad man who has gone wild with a welder and grinder, hahaha. You have quite a few nice projects, but the Dodge is my favorite! ;-)...

    Air ride question's .....need a lesson on it.

    The general rule of thumb with airbags is the bigger, the better. You want to get the biggest airbag that you can fit down there. A large diamater airbag means less air pressure to lift the truck which means a smoother ride. I don't know much about compressors. A shop compressor will definately...

    48 fire truck roadster

    I really like the way the headers turned out. The stance is also great. Is the 2nd picture at ride height? Keep up the good work!

    1950's Car model guessing Game

    I got 62% (30 out of 48). The sad part is I mostly winged it. LOL

    48 fire truck roadster

    How in the world did I miss this one? Great job! I wish I had thought of using a big pipe and angle iron when I was making my trans tunnel. This will be a killer ride!

    Mini T bucket from golf cart

    This is sweet. I want one! Have you thought about producing these or selling them? I think there's a market for them. You'll probably be able to sell a lot of them.

    Barnes Fabrication Parts

    I've ordered from Barnes Fabrication Parts several times and it's always been a great experience. I've mainly ordered heim joints and tube inserts and I've always gotten them in 3 days or less. Their prices are awesome and they have a great selection of parts on their webstore. If you're...

    What size master cylinder?

    Yes, it's a 'double D' master cylinder. ;) I figured it'd be enough, but I thought I'd ask and see what other folks have used before. The reason I asked is Speedway sells a 1-1/8" bore to be used along with a booster for 4WDB setup and 1" non-booster for disc/drum. I haven't seen anything in...

    What size master cylinder?

    I'm wondering what size master cylinder to run on a non-power 4 wheel disc brakes setup? My truck has the Speedway GM disc conversion on the front axle and a Ford 8.8" rear axle (off of a late 90's Explorer). I won't be running a brake booster. I have a 1 inch "Corvette style" master cylinder...

    fun guess? Weight question??

    I think 1575 lbs is very very optimistic. That rearend alone is probably close to 1000 lbs. A 14 bolt weighs about 600 lbs by itself. Add the weight of 4 huge tires on top of that. The engine, blower and transmission package (with fluids) is probably another 800 lbs or so. Add the front axle...

    Un-freaking-believable

    I had to fly out to Detroit for business for a couple of days. I flew in on Sunday afternoon and now I'm at the airport waiting for my flight to go back. The weather was OK on Sunday. It was a bit cold and windy, but not too terrible. Well, I woke up to this on Monday. Un-freaking-believable...

    Guitars and such

    I started on nylon string (classical) when I was 9. I play heavy metal for the most part now. Every now and then, when I'm in the mood, I play classical. My current guitars are: - BC Rich Stealth (big Chuck Schuldiner fan) - Jackson RR3 Pro (signed by Kreator and Exodus, don't play it anymore)...

    Two thumbs up to Toyota...

    LOL, true! The nickel for Prius' battery is mined in Canada. Since you can't process nickel in North America, the ore is shipped to an eastern European country to be processed. The processed nickel is then shipped to Japan to make the battries. At some point in time, the car's life is over and...
