Ok. Shower wall? In this part of the world our showers have three walls. But that only has a foundation for what just got erected. So what is it really? Yeah, I'm giggling that I used that word too.:D

Thank you, Blake. If you look at the dates on my postings, you will see that there has been very slow progress. Real life has intruded more than once over the last couple of years. But for a variety of reasons, I am back at it, with specific goals in mind. The Super Beetle is a fun car to...

I got back early from my travels to Missouri and Nebraska, and I got Friday afternoon off. So I thought I'd work on the Thunderbird a while. I got the other wheel and axle pulled, and I found a crunchy bearing. I did get the wheel bearings off both axle shafts. Then I got the center section...

You must be living right, Kev, if you are getting bolts drilled out that easy. Good for you! I had one where I was drilling out the broken drill bit. I believe I invented new curse words that day.

This is a cool project, so thanks for sharing it here. A quick Google search of the patent numbers on the electric motor show dates from 1903 to 1922. You might have a compressor that someone assembled from a motor, pump and tank they had lying around. So focus on the pump's markings as you...

I'm trying to visualize the oral exam from your urologist. I'm sincerely hoping that chosen word is due to the late hour you posted that. :D

Drives, I appreciate your desire for privacy. :) I use names for a reason: I'm terrible at remembering names. I have to work at it. After being introduced to somebody, I make a point of repeating back their name, 'Nice to meet you, Bob' or whatever their name actually is. :giggle: Using the name...

This! All by myself and with a handful of boards, I walked my compressor down off the pallet to the floor.

Thanks, JB! I'm guessing that the pinion bearings are bad. I pulled the driveshaft a while back and I tried turning the pinion, and it was possible to turn with a short crowbar. And both wheels were very hard to turn with the driveshaft off. It's all coming apart and I'll get everything that is...

I may have phrased that badly. That list I had was something I put together, and I didn't share it and I didn't get it from anyone else. It was just names that others had used, referring to themselves or others in the public forums. It's just a handy way of personalizing communication with...

By the way, it is Kirk, right? I have a new computer, and I can't find the cheat sheet I have that provided the first name of the various members. So I might have pulled the wrong name out of thin air. And in the case of Drives, that we call him Drives - member anonymity and all that. ;)

Drives! How's things in the PNW? Thank you for the welcome, and the reminder about the inversion table. I thought of that a while back, but I need to look into it seriously. One minor thing is that the inversion table that fits me will be expensive, as I'm 6' 6" ( a tad over 200 cm for our...

I never worked in an auto parts store, so I had no idea what is involved. I do know that I used to wonder what the guy behind the counter was typing, and why he was asking so many questions. I used to think that he couldn't find the part. "It's just a [whatever]. How hard can it be?" Now I'm...

They seem prepared for my question when I asked that.:LOL: Stretching is absolutely the key thing, which I am doing. I am now convinced that Captain Morgan had sciatica. I am replacing all the lines, hard lines and soft lines, throughout. I've got the front done, and I'll be doing the back...

I wouldn't say I'm into pain, but if she is, then I'm game.

Thank you Dan. I appreciate the warm welcome.

Kirk, I finally got caught up with your thread. You've sure had a lot going on! I don't know about everyone else, but all my placeholders, letting me pick back up with a thread where I left off, have been lost. I've not been on GJ for a while, and I'm just lost. :oops: So I'm skimming through a...

The branch next door to the corporate offices: And the corporate offices behind the Vögele paver. This equipment changes regularly.

Thanks Kirk and Marc! I was wondering if anyone would talk to me after my absence from here. I've been trying to figure out why I've been away and why I now have time and interest in working on the Thunderbird and posting here, and I think I know why. I started a new job a month ago, and this...
