I've been out of the country for awhile now... Hope to be back in the good old US of A in October. I've got a Jeep and a F150 I'm hoping to get working on.

My mods on the air box. Gutter drain adapter from a hardware store. RVTed it in. Took the square or the cut out and RVTed it over the old hole. Worked nice.

Sea foamed the motor via vacuum method. Cleared up the shimmy and stuttering.

Yes!

I fixed the brake lines that pepboys could not and tried to fix. I was on the road brake line broke. I was desperate, $380 later they "fixed" one brake line when I asked them to fix two.

Long story. They settled for the damaged they caused.

I fixed their damage and fix the lines for $10 and in a hour.

"Master mechanic"

I found one of the cold air leaks. The windshield was loose like half of it was not glued anymore. Fixed some rust

Started working on my Rustys rocker covers / sliders.

This thing has too much rust! I'm making little braces where there is no metal to hold the press nut.
