  1. Welcome Mark....I am a Mark too.
  2. Me too...I have one from my dads old stuff but it needs a lot of help.
  3. No wonder we have a flat economy here.
  4. Nice looking truck Rick....
  5. Very nice!... Where did you get those tires that were on the back from the first photos???....I need some like them for a project build.
  6. That is why I haven't gotten anything for awhile...everything is up and income levels don't change. Things here are always tight to start with like most of us here....I am having enough fun just trying to pay bills so Ill have to do without for now.
  7. Charlie....there $101.oo here...
  8. Pretty cool....I like it. Nice bumpers and roof rack too.
  9. Happy fathers day to you all....while I have no kids from blood I raised the wife's three brothers.
  10. Charlie is right converting a older R12 system to 134A is not hard to do. Many shops will Try to tell you the compressor and all seals must be changed but that is not the whole truth...most cases you can empty the system and recharge with the 134 A after adding the new style hose adapters. Buying R12 requires a ASE certification license if you can find it.
  11. I had one as a kid remember the cab was warped....I need to get another one sometime for a funny car I have.
  12. If it even tries to work Id think you might get by adding a can with oil and sealer then recharge with 134A cans...you might get lucky? Check your hoses fittings that there tight might help some also before charging anything in the system...sometimes its that simple of a cure.
  13. Sounds like a good product. AC systems will loose charge over years of use or lack of it too...12 years is pretty good with all the twist and vibrations going on under the hood.
  14. Stunning build!
  15. I still do my own auto AC work and there are many great items out there but remember there is a reason for a professional or trained AC guy to use a manifold gauge set...safety. If your AC works but is not as cool as it was you might be fine just adding some refrigerant to it long as you do not let the pressure get too high....this can cause damage and or cause the can to burst on you or worse in your hand. Pressure it should be is relative to the outside temp....just be careful....it can be dangerous at times.
  16. Unfortunately there is always some wackos out there....my condolences to the families of the officers G.
  17. Very very nice!...clean well detailed build.
  18. Beyond cool.... I wish I could built one that cool.
  19. Watching a guy toss a bunch of old 60s and 70s era kits in a trash hopper...I ask if he would like to sell them but got no reply as he tossed a big batch of very heavy things on top and locked it...
  20. Man does that Rolling Thunder truck bring back memories...that Imperial seems to be a 68?
  21. I have numbness and dexterity issues plus at times my hands shake its all from nerve damage I have...it comes and goes.
