Hey guys and gals,
Anyone know of a good welding shop or welder in the Las Vegas/Henderson area? I'm looking to weld a shackle reversal onto the 62 soon. Thanks.
jeff
We are planning to have a "tech" day for the club at my house soon. This would be a good afternoon project. I have a welder in my shop and we have a few really good weldors in the club, if they show up. Best part is it's free.
You are the man John. Please let me know when "SNLC tech day" happens. Thanks.

Piece of cake..
SR is an easy welding job. A 110V welder will even work for it.
"Hallucinations are bad enough. But after awhile you learn to cope with things like seeing your dead grandmother crawling up your leg with a knife in her teeth. Most acid fanciers can handle this sort of thing. But nobody can handle that other trip-the possibility that any freak with $1.98 can walk into the Circus-Circus and suddenly appear in the sky over downtown Las Vegas twelve times the size of God, howling anything that comes into his head. No, this is not a good town for psychedelic drugs."
OK Mace,
Since a SR is so easy, I'll let you put on my OME suspension for the 62 hahahahh. Thanks.

I'm fine with that.
John,
You still interested in a tech day?
If so this would be a pretty good little example.
Jeff,
You doing a SO as well or just one of the SR kits??

Mace,
I'm just getting a SR kit from Man-a-Fre. Then a OME suspension from Kurt.

Most Saturdays are good for me. We can have a tech day on either the 12th, 19th, or 26th.

Personaly I would just do the OME suspension..
The SR will just end upbeing a rock finder if you wheel it. And will nto make much of a difference in road manners..

I was thinking SR b/c people have said that handling would improve. I haven't bought the SR yet so I guess I'll do some more research. Thanks.

Most of the handling improvments that I have seen with SR are more due to new bushings and tightened steering systems..
It makes a world of difference.
put the OME suspension on and see how you like it.

Hello fellow cruisers, just found SNLC and am wondering if a rear disc conversion on my 40 is worthy of the TECH day?
Next meeting is tomorrow at 7:30 (see
www.snlc.org ). I will bring up dates for Tech day. Steve, the pres., is the one who suggested we do a hands-on, cruiser project once in a while, so I will bring it up to him. I can accomodate working a few cruisers at the same time and still have parking for a few more
I think with enough people we can easily do Jeff's OME / SR and a rear disc set up on a 40.
I do not want to conflict with the trail run schedule of the club. Next trail day is March 19th out to Logandale.
I figure at least 2 in the shop and 4-5 in the driveway.
That's a huge drive-way John. "Tech day" sounds good. Hopefully, I'll be able to learn a few things by being more hands on. Thanks Guys.

Let's try for Sat. March 26th (day before Easter).
Jeff, do you have all the parts for the SR and lift kit?
SMF, do you have everything for RDBs (lines, fittings, prop. valve)?
Mace,
Just bring
I got a verbal commitment from a couple of other SNLC people for that date.
Cool. I'll get March 26 off. The parts should all get here next week. Sounds like a plan. Thanks guys.
jeff
Hello all, I bought all the brake parts last week plus a new bikini top since the weather is getting so nice. Last night I just could not wait any longer and started the rear disc conversion. Sorry. But now you guy's have room for someone else to help with wrenching!

Good for you. Get the rig up and playing
Mmmmm Corona and shrimp for brekfast...
I'll be there on the 26th..
Send me an addy John
Actually a parts list of what everyone has would be a good idea. I hate getting hit across the shins when you realize that you are missing a single part (that of course has to be ordered..)
