What did you do "IN" your garage today?

[zmotorsports]

Last night I had about an hour to kill between work and a viewing that my wife and I needed to attend so I started machining the adapter for my 3-jaw chuck to rotary table that I need to finish so I can machine some parts for a customer.

You better start a build thread...

[Lassen Forge]

That'll rub out...

Seriously, tho, that's gonna be one sweet ride when you're done. Esp with the long bed. Too bad it's not a 4wd, but it's got some good bones there.

So yeah, where's the build thread??

 

[polexican23]

What do you do when your wife doesnt get mad about you buying a dune buggy project........you buy a second.

Its another fiberglass body thrown on a 70 Beetle Chassis. I got it for peanuts. I was going to chop the chassis and sell the body, but I cant bring myself to do it. Everything is so clean for being 45 years old.
Plus already has the 5x4.75 chevy disk brake conversion done to it.

That is going to be a sweet little ride. Be sure to keep us up to date on it.

Good Luck on the 66PU MrAp. That is for sure one that I would not want to do. I've dealt with several of these in the past.

 

[Olinrj]

Started soaking the carburetor intake boots for my brother's 78 gs550e. All four boots stacked nicely in the flower vase my wife left in the garage. Now it'll smell like wintergreen oil when I'm done.

Let us know when you create a build thread!!!!

Finished my backing plate adapter to mount a 3-jaw chuck onto my rotary table last night.

More pictures of the process can be seen in my shop projects thread. Link in my signature.

I might not have the patience to have a complete build thread but if you look in my garage's thread in my signature I'll post some updates

all parts I keep are taken off and the rotten frame and jammed engine/transmission is going to the junkyard

Opened the swimming pool on Sunday afternoon, only to find that the pool pump seal is leaking.. Now that will be a future garage today project, as soon as I order the parts...

Took pump motor and pump mechanism off the pump housing and replaced the ceramic seals, etc. Found a missing quad ring from the factory that I reinstalled. Working like a champ now and getting the water clearer by the moment... Drying up nicely...

 

[buzz4041]

Continued work on the new cabinet which included driving a 100 screws. I should be able to get the shelve cleats and shelves cut and installed tomorrow.

 

[morley]

Glued the new transom together for the little boat, and next to the garage I started stripping the deck off of a trailer that is getting converted into a pontoon boat trailer.

 

[pantera84]

Brother and I took the bed off his truck to change the fuel pump.

Not a bad little project.

 

[jwh]

Cleaned up a little. Then I changed the front brake pads and rotors on the 06 Explorer. Also changed one front sway bar link on the left side and replaced the missing one on the right side.

The dog looks in pretty good shape considering the task! But then, we have not seen the picture of the beer can pyramid.

Tighten up that garage door opener chain. You're killing me here

I generally use a Porto-Power to push them back into position when this happens. Sometimes a ratchet strap is enough but the majority of the time there is just too much pressure on the components so something a little "more" is needed to help persuade the axle back into place. If you don't have a Porto-Power, I have used a small bottle jack and length of 2x4 in a pinch.

I didn't get **** done in the shop last night. Got out of work later than I had planned and then had our Jeep club meeting.

Changed out the timing belt, tensioner and water pump on Grandson's '11 Kia Rio late yesterday/early this AM.
Since this is an interference engine a 60k km change-out interval is suggested, this one made it to 100k.

No sense tempting fate much beyond that.

Very Nice!

Just found an old early 50's Ford 2 ton cab fenders and hood in an old farmers scrap pile near some ground we were working up. Going to head back Sat to check it out further.

 

[polexican23]

rebuilt rear drum breaks on the DD. 99 corolla with 85K on the od. The biggest PIA of brakes is always breaking a line cause they are rusted to hell.

Building a quilter display ladder for my daughter. I have not worked with Eastern Black walnut in a long time. I'm having a great time. Good to have 20 x 20 covered patio rather than filling the garage with dust.

Water pump, lower radiator hose, fan clutch, and valve cover gaskets on my truck. GM V6's are so easy to work on...

 

[zcar751]

Started putting the 360 together. Hope to have it back in the Ramcharger in a week or so.

First try with Tapatalk. Did this last weekend. Moved some cabinets for storage

and almost finished 10 ft workbench

. Thanks for looking

 

[Streetbu]

Put a Honeywell LED light on the front of the garage.

 

[Geek]

Spent a little while this evening rendering the shop to see how the west wall of windows are going to look when I install them.

 

[buzz4041]

spent a good bit of time painting on on the new cabinets.

 

[MrAperture]

What are tools good for if you dont use em'. Just finished fixing the suspension of this 78 Monte Carlo hoper #lowrider

Got the lights up in the single bay. Nice to finally have some light in there. Thought I'd try out some 6500K bulbs on this side.

 

[MrAperture]

Well, picked up some Canadian tire On Sales item for my Racetrack toolbox:

-Stanley matte black series 229 pieces for 119.99$ instead of 399.99$

-Mastercraft Maximum Breaker bar 14.49$ instead of 42.99$

-Mastercraft Maximum Pliers set 19.99$ instead of 39.99$.

-Mastercraft Cart with 1 drawer 79.99$ instead of 119.99$

Then stopped at my local tool store to pick up some rails so I can take the sockets out of the blowmold case and put em in the box. Also picked up a Neiko Pro stud extractor wich is the exact same as the Mehews.





Then fixed some wiring on my buddy's Ranger
