    Body filler (NOT fiber glass) the other kind

    Yes it does soak in a bit for sure. You need to prime and sand these spots several times until you no longer "see" the edge of the primer where it feathers to metal. Or when you paint your topcoat you will see every spot you applied plastic filler. Good urethane high build primer can do it in 2...

    T350 gets hotter than hell in park and smokes?

    Thanks for the reply. I will check that out. I plan to rebuild it at this point anyway so if they are toasted it is not a huge deal.

    T350 gets hotter than hell in park and smokes?

    I have very nice hydraulic hoses going to a brand new aluminum radiator with built in tranny cooler. Nothing changed as stock other than i put a new filter abd oil in it before I bolted it up. Yes something is not right for sure. I would suspect if it wgere a cooling line issue it would not have...

    I hope I don't have another major design flaw...

    Hey zandoz, With a simple 2 bag system all you will need is a compressor. no need for a tank unless you are looking for a faster fill from fully deflated. You can run a single compressor with one line that splits with a t then a one way check valve on each line to the bags. One manual bleeder...

    I hope I don't have another major design flaw...

    You are good to go! Mount them and get to cruising. Your setup is good. On this light duty application on the back end of a t bucket it will work great. I have the same brackets you do on another truck project i have and they are more then strong enough for what you are doing mounting the shocks...

    Altering trans tunnel

    No reason why that wont work at all. I would cut my own down the same. Just make sure you have a good 1/2" clearance between the tunnel and the trans in the end.

    Loud exhuast

    Just sharing what I know. The poster asked for a system to weld his baffles in exhaust. Under $800 my suggested package with co2 will get him under $800 and it will weld his project perfect. Co2 versus argon/co2 mix is a bunch like chevy versus ford! Its all about what you like. Heck so is the...

    Loud exhuast

    It welds perfect. Leaves a light brown tan colored slag but only at the edges on the surface but it does not affect anything and comes off with a pass of a wire brush. So minimal you have to look for it. As for penetration. Note I am not being a dick here! There is no difference. It has been...

    Loud exhuast

    Lincoln welders all the way! I bought the 180 amp model 220 volt from Home depot. Gas welder. I have burned around fifteen 12.5# rolls of wire through it so far. It runs like the day I got it. Was right around $600 out the door. Had a 10% coupon or something my wife had. Guys will say the depot...

    Putting a floor in my T.

    Putting a floor in my T.

    No its not. It just has a couple if chunks the brown spots still stuck to it. Hes got the bulk of it off. You can see this as the little emblem logo he cut to mold into the back of the body is now exposed. See it? He got 95 pecent of the mold off. Just the few spots of fiber board left to grind off.

    Putting a floor in my T.

    Yep something went south. Not sure what so I dont have an answer for why. But now you just need to grab a flapper disk on a 4.5"grinder 36 grit and a good mask get smoothing this bottom out. Good news is it is the bottom. So you do not need absolute perfection. Pick a section and get it smoothed...

    Sure wish California did not have all these hoops to jump through. Between registration and gun laws we get it seven ways to Sunday!

    Building a CCR plans bucket, California registration?

    Lol you got that right! I know my problem lies right here with my local dmv. They are jerks. They do not know the rules so they make it up as they go. I have had to jump some serious hoops with a few hot rods in the past and I had a signed title in my hand. I think they have a thing against...

    Building a CCR plans bucket, California registration?

    Thanks for that link. I am hoping to Not go special construction but a titled 23 t bucket. Was hoping ccr has the best way. Also special construction in california is limired to 50 vehicles per year. They where trying to get that changed to 200 vehicles per year. So the wait list was at 2 years...

    Building a CCR plans bucket, California registration?

    Hello ccr, I am building my chassis based on your plans. You are in California like me so I am sure you know the best route to get a title and plates on a newly built t bucket. What are my options? I been told new construction titles are a 2 year wait as Cal. Only gives out 50 of them per year...
