Do you also have 1:1 project cars?
Raoul Ross replied to ctruss53's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
How did this happen originally? First, the key(s?) are not there to turn the balancer, they are only there to locate (orient) it to the crankshaft properly. The clamping force the center bolt applies to the balancer to the crankshaft is what is supposed to turn the balancer. Are there 2 keys used? Does the balancer slip onto the crankshaft nose easily? There should be enough interference that a hammer and a block of wood is needed to get it to fully bottom out on the nose. If the balancer wobbles on the crank nose replace it with a new one, it's worn out (or the crank nose is deformed, and you know what that means... replacement). The balancer should fully bottom out on the crank, all the way to the first bearing journal. Then the bolt should be liberally coated with Locktite (red) and tourqued to spec. -

I know what you mean about that sun shield, I couldn't fig'ur out how the brackets went then found this pic online, hope it helps. Looks like there's some bracing in the middle too. -

Well I have a 1:1 project going on, doing a frame-up semi-restoration on my neighbor's '69 Malibu 4-door, which is why I haven't been on here much. Starting with this: ...and removing the body and putting it on a shortened El Camino chassis. Build is here: https://oldchevelles.com/index.php?threads/7595/ You need to register to see the full size pix... gonna be a bit of work but assembling the chassis and dropping the body on it, ala factory assembly line is gonna be the cool part! -
Would you rather have spiders or snakes? LOL "Mom finds snakes while staying at Wisconsin hotel with 4-year-old son" https://www.nbc15.com/2023/08/21/mom-finds-snakes-while-staying-wisconsin-hotel-with-4-year-old-son/

Spiders do one thing and they do it very well, they eat other smaller insects. The larger ones are the most successful ones. If you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone and will help keep down on the smaller pest insects. You can feed them too, and they'll appreciate it. Catch a fly and throw it into the web and watch how fast they are! Totally amazing. I had a roomate once who had a Tarantula, really fascinating. Throw in a cricket and they're like, bleh OK I'll eat it. Throw in a meal worm and they move like lightning! He got one that only had 7 legs but after molting there were 8!

Roadway and the company my dad drove for, CF A.K.A. Consolidated Freightways. From Here: https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/31/business/yellow-corp-closing/index.html "Yellow, Roadway and a third company known as CF or Consolidated Freightways had once been known as the Big Three of the trucking industry. CF went out of business in 2002. And with Yellow Corp. closing, the final two parts of the Big Three are now out of business as well. "
