Not So Pro 3

[JoeDirt]

Hey fellas.

Worked on the Buick a bit more today. New inner rocker panel came in. Should work fine. Also pulled the rear axle and suspension out of the frame. I'm going to box and notch the frame but not sure if I want to fab my own panels to box it or buy the Hellwig Frame FX kit. The lazy man in me wants to just buy the Hellwig kit but I'm not really a fan of the way it looks once its on. So I'm leaning towards fabbinb my own. 1/8 plate steel isn't expensive and fab work is nothing new.

That was my point on the Reddit thread I first saw it on. Got downvoted to oblivion. One person called them irreplaceable trees. I said look at them, the are half dead anyway.

Some people are just morons.

The links are behind a paywall but you'll get the drift. These clowns moved a house past our home with nothing more than top of lungs swearing at 3am, but cut down road signs and native trees for a ten mile path.....

In a really strange twist of fate, the house ended up being from next door to my mum's, and belonged to one of my high school ex-girlfriends dad.

I'm not super familiar with these, but the shell looked like a family member of a Grand National?

The worst part of the public distress is that those trees rarely live 10 years after placement on the boulevard. Road salt, sand, snow plots all wreak havoc on them and they need to be replaced.

how much plate would it take ?

All of it.

Good night gents.

Good night gents.

night gramps

 

[JoeDirt]

how much plate would it take ?

Not much. Probably 4"x72" would just about do both sides. Just a lot of small pieces to cut out.

You'd be correct. It's an '87 Regal, same chassis.

I started thinking about this again.

I think it might work

I just need a 134dl loop of Archer/cheap 3/8 .063 full skip full chisel.

Yes they are. Those “highly valuable” locust trees would have given up in a few years planted in that piśś poor patch of dirt anyway. You really cannot fix stupid.

15, 16 whatever it takes man.

[farminkarman]

Good morning slackers. Rain here again this morning, so we should be set for a while.

 

[Mastermind]

Hey Adam would i just use a ratchet strap or two on the Harley for the next oil change?

 

[GCJenks204]

Morning all.

Way too early for a weekend but I want to try and get this family on the road at a decent time.

Need coffee in my system and it starting to work before we set off.
