have any idea what this spotlight is off of and what it's worth? all the stuff is there to bolt it in. Thanks!

I know, i know, finish the truck :p. I've been meaning to work on the battery box and cutoff solinoid install for a while but i didn't want to cut holes in my car with all the bad weather. Great weather this weekend though, so I did it. Cut out the humps for the original battery hardware and...

I figured we could use a thread with links to each states dmv page or any other good links you may have regarding titles, registration, and other vehicle law that is frequently asked. Here's my states- there is a suprising amount of info available and it sure beats trying to wring it out of a...

Check this out guys, My wife and I are laying in bed, I'm reading a magazine and she's falling asleep-about 45 minutes ago. Her cell phone rings-it's a blocked number so she rejects it. Whoever it was left a message. She goes to check it because Israel (her little sister) is spending the...

So I'm finally getting to where I can really rock on my truck and get some stuff done.......all of a sudden I have an itch to work on my corvette instead. :rolleyes:

Hey guys, I've had a couple stray dogs running around the neighborhood for the last couple days. Today they ran straight at my wife and I as we brought the groceries in and I had to act like a total physcho to stop them from going after us. Then they started messing with my 80 year...

I picked up a 76 parts truck today for......drum-roll please......$100!!!!!!!!! Front disc brakes, later rear end, all five lug, wheels and tires, power steering, gas tanks...everything except the motor and tranny! My 63 is going to be pimp status :D. I'm so excited, just had to share. I...

My father in law came down for new years, every year he comes down for a few days and helps me get some work done on the house (we live in a 100 year old house :eek:). We just about finished the bathroom re-model, then the washer crapped out so we bought a new washer and figured we might as...

Any good pics of stock 48 or modified 48 stude coupes? A lady at work has one she wants to sell. If it's worth buying i'm going to see what i can work out for storage at their place until my truck is done. What are they worth as well? I never see any running around but rareity dosn't always...

I've been thinking some things through, which is what normally happens when i take too long to dig into something like z'ing the frame on my truck. I really want to lay rocker when i air it out. But how safe is it? On a show car that is only driven on weekends etc, probably not a big deal...

Looks like i have everything ready to go, I didn't realize how bad my slab was until i started shimming the jack stands to make the frame level :mad:. I managed to get the front 3/4 of the frame perfectly level side to side and down the length of the frame but the last 1/4 on the end i couldn't...

I've cut all my gussets out this afternoon so I can have them ready when I cut the frame. All I can say is that my 3" HF cut off wheel and 14" HF chop saw........just don't cut it :p. What do you guys use to cut 3/16" and 1/4" plate? I'm sure a plasma cutter would be nice but is there...

well.... ate dinner, got a fire going in the charcol barbecue :p, wifes at school, kid is at her friends, time to get some work done........

do you ever get drawn into a technical discussion with a non-technical person? I try really hard not to but I got into a discussion about gasoline with a lady at my office; god that was a mistake. It turned into a 20 minute conversation about how her brother in law owns a shop with 30...

so many new people, if i missed you, welcome to rrr! I'll see you on the board. ;)

I've got a few more questions guys - let me know if you have the answers :D I've been spending some time studying pictures of z's that others have done on chevy trucks (not all the same year). My understanding of a z is that you cut the frame between the suspension and the body. lift the...

would it be possible to change the actual lug pattern on a set of old steel wheels without comprimising them structually? I really like the looks of rat rods with huge wheels but i can't (wont' spend that much anyways) afford these for my truck. I got to thinking about cheaper sources for big...

I finally finished my brakes today on the corvette! all new calipers, stainless flex lines, stainless hard lines, and new distribution blocks. flushed and filled with valvoline syn dot 4. If you guys don;t have a motive power bleeder yet, buy one! i had the brakes bled in under an hour by...

I posted this on one of the corvette forums, didn't get a whole lot of help. Any thoughts guys? I can post pics if you don't know what i'm talking about. There is a compartment behind the seats, one side is the stock battery location and the other held the jack. I'd like to put this box on...
