Pretty quiet in here... what are you working on?

I made some door straps out of some seat belts. View attachment 1099646

Did you make or buy the seat risers for your bucket seats? Tell me more please - N

I made it out of 1" rigid EMT. Bent around a brake rotor.

I got the 40 registered today! Then the grinder jumped making a license plate holder and I got 9 stitches! It would have been cheaper to buy one!?!?

Just picked up a 95 LC with 188k a couple weeks ago. trying not to go crazy but there's so much fun stuff to do. So far I've been tame and just gotten some cup holders from BHicks, replaced all the interior with LED, and have a few sets of LED aux lights I am thinking about adding for reverse and supplemental driving lights..

 

[76FJ40]

If you have cup holders, what more could you possibly need?

OBTW, I believe I'm looking out my office window at your 80 right now.

lol. not creepy at all...

based on that I am guessing you know Alex? he said his co-worker was in to cruisers.

 

[76FJ40]

Nice 80. Yes, I work with Alex. This is the second Time I've worked in the same building as another Mudder.

Going to CMCC?

Unfortunately no, didn't know what it was till a couple days ago. I'm a mudding newbie.

And yeah, small world. It so happens that Alex and I also have the same car.

But you never forget your first time, right Bob? That was more special.

 

[76FJ40]

You'll always be the "first" Felix.

I got my oil pan gasket replaced on my 40 today. I don't want to do that again. Now I need to drop my front drive shaft to get the flywheel inspection cover back on. The drive shaft bolts are ridiculously tight. I stopped by Sears and picked up 2 6 point 14mm combination wrenches to limit the possibility of rounding off the heads. I gave it one try this afternoon and couldn't get them to break and decided to press forward with the oil pan instead of futzing with the DS.

 

[Stumpalama]

Need an impact to get those DS nuts free.

 

[iptman]

U joints won't let my impact get straight on the bolts.

You could use a propane torch and kroil. Not uncommon for people to use loctite on those parts too.
