  1. Been gone for a while, wuz in Canada fishing with my daughter, pix to come. In the meantime I've been lax on posting here... Enjoy!
  2. I think you're right-on with the 'Vair, Greg. C looks like a C2 Vette front.
  3. Absolutely! And the best part is there's almost no waste!
  4. I use these, one of mankind's greatest inventions! https://www.amazon.com/Rolling-Toothpaste-Squeezer-Bathroom-Accessories(Green)/dp/B09NV17WCS/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=toothpaste+roller&qid=1688046226&sr=8-7
  5. From the Register article I posted: "Rush was piloting the Titan for what turned out to be its final fateful journey. He spoke to CBS News correspondent David Pogue on the US broadcaster's Unsung Science podcast late last year, and at the time expressed disdain for safety regulations. "You know, at some point, safety just is pure waste. I mean, if you just want to be safe, don't get out of bed. Don't get in your car. Don't do anything," Rush told Pogue. "At some point, you're going to take some risk, and it really is a risk/reward question. I think I can do this just as safely by breaking the rules." I mean, if there were no rules/laws/mandates, we'd all be falling *through* stairs, dying in elevators and being impaled by fancy knobs/levers/ et. al. that were the norm in 50s/60s cars. It's called "Statistics". They allow analysis of data that helps create laws/rules that keep everybody safe (well, at least as safe as stupidity allows) Ignoring industry-standard, repeatable and peer-trialed testing and going rogue just invites disaster, no matter what you're building. Basically, he was a Huckster. So sad, seriously.
  6. I believe he's looking more for application tips.... ie. not what but how. I'm interested in this also so preach on!

  8. What irked me today? My job... I'm seriously thinking of dropping it and take up truck driving... seriously. I've not gotten a real/actual/beneficial/serious raise in 6 years. They keep piling more and more stuff on and never gotten more than... well less than, a buck an hour in five years. Schneider trucking has some serious work for serious pay... SERIOUSLY! No, seriously lol
