    Needs some tips on fixing this dent

    If its not going to be a show truck I would leave it alone and just say it adds character. I'm thinking about trying to take a few small dents out of an old motorcycle tank and I was thinking of similar ways to do it, but if I screw it up the cost of finding another tank would probably more...

    Melted Manifold with Torch

    I'd use a file and just use the appropriate gasket. Antiseize is recommended.

    Vacuum to collect ALT. Fuels

    When you figure out a vacuum source, make sure you install a vacuum relief valve and a ball check of some sort to hold the vacuum you've already made.

    USMC Semi-Glass Forest Green too shiney

    It will fade and get dull, its the nature of the Alkyd enamels. Every time I've painted a different part it is shiny for a few months. If you used hardners it will keep the gloss longer.

    Can extreme cold crack a block?

    I would think it was the coolant/antifreeze. Any chance you bought the pre-diluted stuff and diluted it? I've almost picked up the diluted antifreeze by mistake.

    Louisiana Rally '11

    I want to thank Tim and his family again for the Hospitality, it was an awesome time and I will dearly miss it, if it does not return. I could make a lot of excuses for why I didn't help more with the rally than I did, but excuses are just that. Tim has done a great job of making this event...

    Cry Baby Neighbors

    I get to meet all my new neighbors when the hurricanes come through, the older ones gave up. Get to know your neighbors and someone will rat out the culprit. I wouldn't do anything more than they did, just find something they are doing and report it to the proper authorities. I'm lucky that I...

    Old gasoline

    Mine came with 5-10 gallons of fuel that smelled of old gas from GSA. It seemed to run fine, but had a different smell to the exhaust. I drained it and put about 20 gallons of diesel and then started to add old gas from lawnmowers and boats. After adding the gas I started having problems with...

    Using original brake lines

    No idea on the cost. The brake lines require a double lap flare. Make sure you get pre-made lines that have it or invest in the flaring tools to do it properly! I still have a few left to do on mine. I'm sure someone has something on here about how to do it. I think I've found them before, but...

    Using original brake lines

    Brake components that had the dot 3 can corrode from the inside, not visible. I would replace any as soon as possible on something that old. I'm not familiar with the systems on that truck, but if its a single circuit like the M35, I wouldn't take any chances.

    Jumping a 24 volt with a 12 volt

    As long as you isolate it to the one 12v battery your OK. If there were 24v to an individual battery of 12v it would be spectacular I'm sure. Radios and 12v accessories are added to golf carts(mostly 36v) all the time by just isolating two of the 6v batteries. If your still unsure take a...
