Bill:

If you need any wedling as part of the pipe repair on the RMB, bring it on by.

Working out those impacts is kind of fun in an masocistic sort of way.

as a side note the Glass Cleaner can was steel, we were looking at a thinner aluminum soda can but it would have probably ripped once the clamps were tightened.
I checked out the trash can and found this longer, steel glass cleaner can

Glad to see things worked out alright and great to see all of the people who stepped up to help out.
Maybe you should stick to hittin rabbits at 120 mph...just sayin.

Added to features list:

-- Extra rear brake line clearance.
-- Speed-sensitive forced-induction rear footwell ventilation.
and thanks to the new front pan:
-- Air cooled motor mounts and induction-cooled starter motor.

There really are a lot of undocumented 'features' just waiting to be highlighted in the newest brochure.

Here's a few photos of the fix'er up session. Nicole had it right, in true redneck fashion.

Brad's workshop is awesome. There were two slightly-used shop towels on the workbench, and he said he was embarassed by that. 'Clean' doesn't come close to describing the place. Icing on the cake includes AC, plenty of light, great tool selection, and Joann sharing an iced bucket of drinks on a hot afternoon. Absolutely first class all the way!


I have a day of clean-up due in my shop, and it still won't be close. At least now I know where the crossbar is set! Thanks Brad and Joann!

The lift is alway an option. I'm just trying to get used to the idea of having the posts in the way all the time. I guess I could just moe a few other things like the worktable and stuff under the lift, and park over next to the 4Runner. There's always a way!

A lift would be way cool for a shock clinic/workday too. [sounds of gears rattling...]

It's hard for some of us to leave Brads place and then invite people to our own garages. Envy comes to mind. As hard as I try, there is no way I can get my place to look like his.....ahh but to dream.

I'm glad everyone made it home good and the cars had no other issues.

Oh, Greg N, the guy leaning on the fender.......that's Brad, he has a non abrasive cloth stuck to his ***, so it won't scratch the 'soontobetrackcar'. Funny PM you sent. Made me LOL.
