You take the time to properly troubleshoot the issue and find an appropriate solution with serviceability in mind. They cut the hole for the easy route I take it.

These guys out scouting around for food.

S10's were great little trucks. I briefly owned a '96 long bed, old napa truck. 2.2 had a blown head gasket when I bought it. Common with those. Easy fix as long as the head isn't a pretzel.

Looks great, nice details throughout the chassis.

Good point

This is more like it. Gotta do a bit of touching up, and finish detailing the cluster, but the foil really pulled off what I wanted.

More beautiful work.👍

I believe this is will solve my issues. Thanks for posting it.

I'll be on the lookout for the T-rex.

I've tried thinning it 50% distilled water as well as straight from the bottle. Perhaps I'm too light on the glue? Haven't tried any other ratio or products ( mod podge,paint, ect). I was thinking about water-based clear,(vallejo clear varnish in the small dropper)but chemical reactions and all.

Ive tried Elmer's glue a few times, spotty results like above. At least it's easy clean up. Paying attention to this.

Because they are about making CENTS. One dollar of cable per unit,100,000 units. Some bean counter figured it out.

The diesels have two batteries and a inline relay on the firewall. My gripe is why bury it under the windshield when you already have the typical spot. Make the other one the option. Just to save a few feet of starter cable and insulation.

Great looking street rod,reminds me of every magazine cover from my childhood. You nailed the look.

Patience is something I have a ton of. I no longer get mad if I make a mistake, whatever it cost me(time,money,ect) was the cost of that "education". Things go smoother for me now that I apply that idea to project. Thanks for checking it out.

Thanks Zippi.

That looks Awesome! You definitely picked the right name for the truck.👍👍

Couple of sweet looking builds. 👍👍

Thanks, hopefully I can repaint the rest of the interior, I'm working on my skills detailing dashes and such.

Finished stripping the dash and interior tub. Foiled the door trim and around the cluster/center console tonight. Everything into primer tonight, painting tomorrow. Hopefully I can pull this off like I did the steering wheel. Thanks for checking this out.

Mk5 jetta. 2008. It's been a good car,but a ton of odd engineering decisions were made. The 2.5 five cylinder has the timing set on the rear of the engine, you drop the whole subframe, split the transmission/engine and go to work.

6 bolts and "dance" the heavy battery in. I'm 5'10" and need step stool to reach and not scratch or dent my truck. They sized that area so it goes in and out one way. No handle on the battery,even more fun. As for german cars, my wife's vw is loads of fun. The DOOR SKIN has to come off to replace the window regulator, a dozen or so differently sized fasteners that WILL damage the paint/panel if placed wrong. And the interior panel comes off as well to do the job.

Here's one. My gmc has provisions for two batteries. They all use the same cab no matter if it's diesel, 1500 or 3500. Yet the battery location is the worse of the two on the 1500,buried by the windshield. Not in the easily accessible spot up front. That would be too convenient.
