    “Full custom” 1960s influenced Garage Build

    I’m likin the new direction!!! I haven’t been on in a while as we recently moved so I had a little catching up to do. I think it looks great, and I particularly like the lighting in the car and kart picture. Looks badass.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Well Larry, not good news. Didn’t save it in time. ****. Now I need more parts. And a friggin new gasket again! Ugh…. I think the worst part for me is it had a slow leak, and was nothing too serious. We are trying to sell our house and we have a conditional offer on it right now, and it...

    Rabbeted corner boards and trim for lap siding good or bad ?

    This is exactly what I did as well. For corner detail, the whole house was covered with 2” ridged and on the corners I used treated 2x6’s so something solid to screw everything to. Then the Aztec corner trim with white trim screws.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Got er all back together. Didn’t go as planned though! I had to take the governor apart to get the case half off. Didn’t set it right and she revved to beat hell!! Shut it down before things got bad. Have to adjust it properly tomorrow. Tuned up my google fu and see what I need to do now.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Saw that. I have the new gasket and bolts. Although I wasn't aware it was a widespread issue. The machining on the case halves is horrendous. And I can see where the holes are punched through it's a raised edge which would not allow full clamping force even when tightened. I cleaned everything...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Pulled the motor on the ride on to fix an oil leak. Gasket had pushed into the crankcase somehow over the years. It’s been leaking for awhile but finally got sick and tired of it. Pretty easy fix. One of those things that a person puts off for so long and when you finally fix it you wonder why...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    It’s nice to have a slope on the driveway so then all the water pours out the back as I drain everything. Every other time the sloped driveway is annoying!! 😂

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    The BCM on these truck is crazy. It will do things like that. I installed new LED headlights in my Gladiator and tapped into the turn signal circuit to have my halos flash orange when I turned on a signal. One side worked, the other didn't. I had to play around in the settings of the BCM with my...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    I feel ya. How can one get so attached to an object. Weird to me, yet every vehicle I’ve owned has a personality. At least to me they do. I was also sad to see this one go… It was such a good car!! I loved whipping around town with it, and it never let me down. Until it did. Timing belt went...
