  1. Good One :smilielol5: Al
  2. This is one of the reasons I installed a 28000 btu heater with adj dash vents. I was out the other day and though only -4 it was cold enough, I also forgot my gloves. I aimed the vent at the steering wheel and cranked the heater on high and I was surprised at much hot air I got on the steering wheel. One of my better ideas Al
  3. I just used a rubber shock bushing, usually free at most any muffler shop. Al
  4. We are cooking turkey today in preparation for the hungry people tomorrow. Thanksgiving also serves a dual purpose as our youngest kid, the baby of the family, who also has 4 of her own babies turns '40'. Eeeeghads, starting to feel old, still wish I was 62.:smilielol5: Al
  5. That was amazing, Thanks for posting it. Al
  6. Very nice, watched more than once. Al
  7. Depends on what you want it for, if it is for racing then it has to be accessible for shut off in case of an accident, as others have mentioned already. In my case I don't race mine so I have a removable double sided key on the console for security/theft, shuts off everything that goes through the main 50amp fuse. Al
  8. I used a truck roll on box liner on both sides of the tunnel footwell. No heat issues on mine so far. Al
  9. My wife won't let me go out in the car out without her, this has its advantages as she ends up doing all the yakking with bystanders, allows me to actually get gas in the tank at gas stations and such, waves at all the people photo taking, etc . It is like having my own PR person. Al
  10. I am not familiar with your engine but a carbureted engine is not a sealed system so they do stink after they are turned off, especially if the car is running a bit rich and is left to idle too long in a enclosed garage. Mine is carbureted and I usually turn it off as I enter the garage and let it coast to where I want to park it. Someone more familiar with your motor may have better advice. Al
  11. 15 gallon RCI tank and about 350 miles. Al
  12. Gee whiz guys, Politicians :dupe: are usually ex car salesman. Al
  13. Depends on the type of wheel, cast aluminum will cure at a lower temperature than forged aluminum, depending on the type of aluminum will depend on the length of the treatment. The cheap wheel might do 325* for an hour, the other might need 450* for 3 hours, which could be a risk to the rims safety. Old rims, new rims? As you mentioned you need to research a number of shops to get a feel on what you can do with yours. Who knows, you might even be able to find a replacement set cost effectively after selling your old ones, perhaps another option to consider, I will say though as you noted $225 each isn't chump change, there's got to be a better way. Al
  14. I may be retired for over a decade now, but if that didn't bring back memories of calling project implementation meetings and having a dozen engineers show up from various departments and companies to assign ownership responsiibilties. The end result usually another half a dozen meetings just to clear up the first meeting. And people ask why everything costs so much:deadhorse: Al
  15. Here is my dash as well. Al
