Beat the major dents out of the hood, painted the front rims, installed new hood hold-down hooks, scored on 3 jerry cans with a donkey dong for a total of $15 on Craigslist and the dude was a normal human being, not some crack head selling stuff to maintain his habit! Two of the Jerry cans are...
Howdy from Reno, Nevada! May you clean bugs off your teeth, bleed from the knuckles, and smell of military canvas!
Good luck on your acquisition, and when your relatives and friends ask 'what are you going to do with that?', simply mumble something unintelligible about 'where is your Swingline...
It would appear this technology originally meant for low power consumption on digital devices fits the phrase of 'putting lipstick on that pig'. Some stuff simply can't be made to work right unless you go through 50 years of design changes- just to end up doing something you should have done in...
I find the whole LED headlight topic easily solved by going 24v H4 Halogens and forgetting about it. H4 bulbs are far cheaper to replace than having to deal with the delicate LED apparatus. I run 60- 75w H4's on my old BMW bikes and the work very well. They project light much further than...
Just looking for others in the State of Nevada. It would be good to know where you're at what you have. I've know I've seen a few of you driving around in Reno; just wondering if you frequent this site? Matter of fact, it was July 4th, I was in my Deuce travelling North on Virginia headed to...
#1 thing about Nevada is this: they can be the strictest state in the U.S. about titles. Having restored numerous old cars and trucks for nearly 30 years, I am VERY familiar with this aspect of NV DMV. No other state seems to be this anal about titles. So if you don't have a title or an SF97 for...
"...they are adjusted properly just to cover my bases"
Bingo.
Drum brake MUST be adjusted equally all the way around. It's a real PITA, but it's the proper way of servicing drum brakes. regardless of the type of vehicle. They should have a 'slight drag' after installation of the drum...
Been there, done that (64 Chevy Impala SS) on 99 in Lodi, California, 1973. And right after that, I made a quick stop at the gas station to clean out the drawers and take an Elephant tranquillizer! And to chase my soul back into my body because I could have sworn I saw it run into the grape...
It's pure joy for a Dad to do something like this. It's no different than when he gave you your first bike- except the size of the bill :)
May you have many excellent road trips with it, but do take lots of pictures and hang them on your wall. Make sure those pics have your Dad with you in...
Yes it does! In all of the hundreds of times I have driven MV's, I have never left the hood hooks off which is directly attributable to the walk around inspection. When i got my operators license, one thing I took serious was operator's inspections. Others didn't and they paid the price...
Okay folks, I brought 'Mama Deuce' home and I am very happy to be finally driving around. She's got some bruises to work out here and there, but overall, she's nice, and she's mine. Someone mentioned the location of the gauges on the dash- she's been refurbed at Tooele, Utah in 92, so perhaps...
Yup. My stuff was every piece of man packed or vehicle borne comm gear the Marines had. Generator stuff too. For me, working on stuff built in the Korean and Vietnam War eras will keep you on your toes. Nonetheless, electronics is all the same once you get past the outside frame. It's just a...
