I had Vancouver Powder Coating do a set of Mopar rally wheels a coupe years ago. I cannot remember off my head what it cost though. He sandblasted and powdercoated them a 50% gloss black - looked pretty sharp, but when I got them hom I noticed a lot of 'voids' in the junction between the wheel...

Damn, I should have read this FIRST. I used a deep socket, extension and flex joint and other than the antifreeze I dumped all over the driveway :tear: it wasn't too bad. I think I got it bleed pretty well. My driveway is sloped and there is a bonus bump into the street, so I turned the truck...

This is actually for an aux gas tank for my motorcycle. It's brand new (never had gas in it) but I fsked up this afternoon and put a hole in it. Can anyone suggest a good shop to take it to that can TIG it up for me? Sign me bummed.

Thanks!

Re: What did you do to your MJ today I did the dreaded change the valve cover gasket thing today. Changing the gasket wasn't so hard; cleaning all the crap off the valve cover was not fun. Also changed plugs. The old ones had ~ .60 gap. :tear: Tomorrow will be cap, rotor, wires, and maybe...

Pterodactyl. ;-D

Thanks. Immediate plans are to fix all the little problems (leaks, clunks, and tune-up) and use it as an alternate DD (my other DD has 2 wheels). Later....well, not 100% sure which direction I'm going to go yet. Probably will leave it 2WD, but might do of a pre-runner theme with a small...

Oakly doakly, done! I'm red!

Is there some way for me to designate the NW Chapter when I join?

Bar and Grill, across the street from the gas station. They used to have PIE as well, but I think the PIE lady retired.

+1 on Stanish's in Portland The Bomber in is Milwaukie - try the burger with the peanut butter. No, really. Cougar Cafe' in, uh, Cougar has a decent chili-burger.

K7FLE, just over 10 years (time to renew!), General, not very active. 2m, 10m, 20m and 40m. I almost completed a 40m WAS back in '99-00 when I last had my station up (Kenwood TS-430s through homemade dipole via MFJ antenna tuner - I don't have any of it now. :( ) I've been toying with getting a...

For the next guy: works fine, but you have to swap the actuator piece on the end of the locks left to right. Take the 'C' clip off, and you can move them right over. Do pay attention to where it goes, because it can go two different ways - the right one and the wrong one. If it's wrong, the lock...

Thank you Box_goblin! Headed to the garage now.

My new-to-me '88 'manche came sans door keys. I pulled the passenger lock yesterday and had my local lock-smith make me a pair of keys ($12). In the process I realized that the drivers side lock has been "screwdrivered" at some point. :cry: I'd like to swap the locks, or at lest put the...

Sorry about the pictures. I loaded the links from Mike's hosting, and they worked last night. :dunno: I loaded them into my picasa account, and here there are. These are the only ones I have so far; once I pick it up, I'll get some better ones. Ken Kermit the Frog + :piratefla = frogpirate

Well, I had mu buddy Mike go look at the truck that is ~ 120 miles away from me. It is an 1988 2WD, 4.0L, Auto, long bed. 74K miles, ex. city truck. It's seen some work, as would be expected from a ex-fleet vehicle, but runs great and has really very little rust. Ok, there is a little in the...

Hell, none of this stuff is cheap! I spent close to $5K on my CoMotion, and that was really shopping the parts and building it up myself. On the other hand, I have a custom bike that FITS me and is exactly what I want. Of course, that was back when the economy was much better. :wierd: I did...
