Thanks everyone. I may try it mysels

Yes, it is 2 pieces, complete with braces. When it was done in house, about how many hours did it take? How did you brace the door opening?

I have a 1970 Chevelle that needs to have the floor and trunk pan replaced. I bought a complete floor pan and a trunk pan, both with braces. What would be a reasonable price to have then replaced. I could strip the body down and take it off the frame and take it to a shop. I just don't trust...

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'll check with a muffler shop or a place that does bikinis. Better than ruining a piece of stainless at today's prices.

I need to bend a piece of 1" stainless steel boat rail about 75 degrees. I have a 1" conduit bender. Would that work? Any other suggestions? I'd prefer not to have to heat it because of the discoloring.

Thanks. I'll check the wiring. When I installed the GM Performance upgrade, I had to splice the wires to install a new sensor. Appreciate the help.

My 2008 Pontiac Solstice GXP sometimes surges at cruise. Occasionally it will throw a MAP sensor code. Would Mass Airflow Sensor cleaner be ok to try on the MAP sensor. I'd prefer To try something before shelling out the money for a new sensor. The engine is turbocharged. Thanks in advance.

I need to run a water line underground to my workshop, about 150'. The line will need to go under the gravel driveway. Any suggestions on what kind of tubing to use and how deep it needs to be? Thanks in advance.

Vote and campaign for some candidate that wants to get rid of the EPA. I think there is at least one. Based on my past experience (too much to explain here), I hate the EPA.

That is what I'm considering. A liner shouldn't cost that much if I can find one. Still looking.

Does anyone know where I could get some parts for a Handler 120 MIG welder? I really need a liner for .030 or .035 wire. The one I have got kinked. Since the welder was discontinued several years ago, I can't locate one. Any suggestions???

After many years of moving around a lot with the military, I finally have a shop and am starting to play/work on my toys. II need to pull a couple of engines and tyranny. I've never used one if the engine lift plates that bolts to the manifold. Can you pull the engine and trans together, even...
