Re: Tool Organization At work I'd found that our whiteboards were getting pretty dirty and none of the whiteboard cleaners we had would really clean them. Someone swore by the scrubbing bubbles tub/tile cleaner, and when I tried it I am now a believer. The generic "Foaming disinfectant...

Re: what did you do in your garage today? It's not a spider, it's a skeeter! MM :lol_hitti

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Last night tried to change the rear wheel bearing in a 2002 Altima. Got half the bolts out before I ran out of gas (And cuss words). Hopefully a bit of liquid wrench and some time will make this afternoon a little more successful. MM

That clarifies things nicely! I think I've got a new little enhancement for my tractor now! Thanks, MM

Do you have a picture? I'm having a hard time visualizing it, which is annoying because it sounds simple enough. MM

I'm sorry to hear that your time at the Drags has been frustrating, but yes the book was a great trip back in time. My personal timeline only started in 1970 so while I can't claim any personal hold on that time, there is definitely something about that slice of history that has a resonance! I...

Just a quick note... The "Beltsville Shell" book is once again up for grabs! First PM to me is the next lucky recipient of this great trip back in history. Let the feeding frenzy begin! MM *EDIT: p_mori7 is the next lucky reader in Montreal QC, so it'll be heading due North next!

Great job gordyy! Those are lessons that will stick with them for life! (How to fix things themselves, how to man up and do the punishment our actions earn us, and even that things that look like the end of the world can turn out a lot better than we expect) MM

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Went over to a neighbor's house who has a lift and replaced the CV joint/half axle on my son's car. Easier than I had any right to expect or hope! MM

Re: what did you do in your garage today? 80WTI_55_CHEV: At the Replica Props Forum there are a bunch of posts about simulating weather/damage... The one that sticks in my mind is the creative use of mustard...

Sweet Old Bill - I had to re-read the posts about the Beltsville Shell book, but I believe instead of sending it back to Thomas you're to solicit the next recipient and send it on to them, to continue the chain. Part of the original thread MM

Check out Lil' Scorpion's thread here: Tooling organization He's got a lot of stuff in there, but related to your question he's done a lot of carriers, trays, etc that have french cleats. From the looks of things, he stores them away in his cabinets but can pull them out and hang them around...

SWMBO is nothing to be upset about... Merely a statement of fact! :D MM

Re: what did you do in your garage today? I don't have a link, and I can't confirm/deny the insurance aspect, but I reconstruct accidents, privately and occasionally with police agencies I recently worked on one where a car T-bones a pickup truck. While the headlights/taillights would have...

Under the "Thread Tools" banner at the top of the page there is an option to "Subscribe to this thread". Once you select that you'll have the option to have it email you updates or not. I have my subscribed threads email me every time someone adds something, but even if you don't, you can access...

:thumbup: Thomas, Chris, and everyone else from the center of the universe to every corner of it, have a safe and Merry Christmas!!! MM

Re: what did you do in your garage today? I know what you mean. I had gotten to the point I managed 36 leak free joints in a 1' square wall-space and could separate and re-solder old joints like a boss. I then started using Pex and feel like it's too easy and has to be "cheating". :lol_hitti MM

You got me! I'm looking forward to seeing how this comes together since I've had one of these on my "to-build" list for a while. Since I don't have a lot of experience (and just enough knowledge to be dangerous) I can't wait to see how you engineer it. MM

The tail length of the '56 Bel Air didn't quite match, but a google search for Bel Air hood ornaments found ones that had the long tail marked as a '55...

While it is natural to try and explain something like this, I think the reality is that it can't be explained. Regardless of the why, the fact that there are a lot of families that have been devastated in a short amount of time makes my heart grieve for them. In our area recently a couple of...
