  1. Nice work, and definitely a great story!
  2. Cadzilla, all time favorite build of his. Still such a sleek car.
  3. That's cool! And I'd have to sell a kidney .. cuz you can't just have 1!
  4. I did the sound deadening in my truck as well.... here is some before and after.
  5. Nice job on salvage, sorry to hear of the horror of what happened.
  6. I got a Tamiya Scriber, Gonna use a body I got in a Junkyard buy to practice on so I can open up the Trunk and doors.
  7. Welcome Eugen! Can't wait to see your work!
  8. My 90 Chevy that I have complained about on another post here, 31x10 off road tires with stock rims, nothing outside the truck, and will soon be adding mud flaps, because I don't like slinging it all over. But I love playing in it, always fun to watch faces of the 4x4 guys lol. I have bumper mount foglights, and a good tow hitch, and tow mirrors, as I will tow a camper trailer every so often. But I agree, if I want cool, I'll build a model.
  9. Right! Just .. insane on his skill.
  10. I cheated when I did it, but here's how: I rinsed my beans, and then added a whole diced onion, table spoon fresh diced garlic, salt, pepper. Took the ribs out of the package cut them to where it was 3-4 bones per chunk. (Spare ribs is what I had on hand.) Covered beans in about 2" water. Tossed the ribs in, gave it a quick stir. Pressure cooked in the Instapot 40 minutes. Dropped the steam using the valve. Opened, at this point the ribs were cooked so I pulled the bones. Shredded the meat and all the fat into the beans. Put it on simmer while I fried the tators for another 10-15 or so, stirring and adding seasoning as needed. The ribs give a nice pork flavor, and thickens the beans up nicely too. I have done this same recipe with ribs I have smoked too. Just have to mind the char from smoking/grilling.
  11. Nice work dude! I like that you kept is a 6 banger!
  12. Great stuff guys!! And always a great thing when you find a holy grail kit for less than normal!
  13. It's a look I am not a fan of..and the fact the side wall is less than 1/2 the tread face as well. I call most of the trucks like this... pavement princesses. I know a few folks take them out in the mud and dirt, but the princesses drive me nuts. And when I was getting my license ages ago, this was illegal as all get out, and now here we are.. no mud flaps no fender extensions, just a look that is not pleasant. If they had big fat tires with tons of side wall, and fenders that show chips from rocks from mud and gravel.. that would be cool. (Call it my age showing lol)
  14. I went old school, fried tators and beans with pork ribs .. no ham or salt pork.
  15. Dude!! Thank you sir! I will be making my way to them. Yeah, that sucks, and knock on wood so far, no oil issues on it. And the CVT is... interesting to say the least, I am not a fan of it but hey happy wife, happy life.
  16. Wicked! Love the Fargo's! Thanks for sharing!!
  17. Here is a few update pics on the 57 Fairlane I am working on for the wife. I will have the wheels on tomorrow I am thinking, and then have to do a couple details on the frame and add the black on the wire wheels to show the spokes. I haven't done anything else body/interior due to waiting on some stripper for them.
  18. .... stunning... absolutely stunning! Your skills... mindboggling amazing!
  19. Oh .. I don't mind at all, It was the transmission service that after 75k which I didn't know about, being done. Which is fluid/filter change. Had I been told at the time I did my LOF service, I would of done it then. But yes, I will be looking for a new place that is good, trustworthy, and not overpriced that knows Subaru's. I appreciate you asking @Rodent
  20. Your welcome sir! I will be following this.
  21. Amazing work, that frame is a work of art!
  22. Dude... I know what you mean! One day I will get a camper but until then, tent camping it is.
  23. Dang bud!! That really sucks! But hey, on the flip side, it's not a scorcher atm.
