I’m on the east coast forgot about Carlisle. I’m at Savannah airport right now going back to Phoenix. I need to pay better attention to what is going on.

I work for the company that made the originals (American Safety, now AMSAFE). I have searched engineering archives for the original blueprints but they are gone. Still have some of the square buckle designs though. On the old original belts, I did a tensile test on one. Think the spec is...

Spent 3 hours today on the formula now I’ll do three more on the roadrunner. Summer heat in Az certainly slows any real progress. Then I’m out of town for 2 weeks again.

Wife’s 2014 Toyota needs to go away. She wants an EV. I don’t, then the fight started. Not really. Likely will be the RAV4 hybrid. Compromise and all. I’ve heard about the farmer issue too. Not just fertilizer but all the animal feed and diesel fuel for the equipment eating up their...

Thanks. That does help. Just standard hardware. This weekend to top goes on. Maybe I can fire it up soon too.

The window mechanism is a test fit. Not going to leave all that ugly in there.

Actually had time today to do some assembly. Was going to mount the convertible top frame but…hardware questions happened. Does anyone have a picture of how the rear frame mount at the rear quarter area? The mounting plate diagram in the shop manual shows 3 bolts and one nut but I don’t have...

The bugs when on a bike is nasty. I hit a swarm of bees here in Az about 10 years ago. Still not over it.

If only I had time. Do a lot of work travel. Have been in Asia for the last couple weeks. Last flight Sunday pm coming into phoenix the Captain and First officer presented me this

A few years ago I had a claim with American Collectors insurance on my Camaro. Damage I caused. Had engine out of the car and needed some measurements for the custom crossmember. Jacked it up on one side and the hood on the blanket on the roof slid off damaged the hood, door and quarter...

I may have a pair…but I’m out of the country until 1 May. If you don’t find any by then send me a message. They are in my storage unit so I’ll need to find them.

10K. Wow.

That’s great. Congratulations on the win.

That one is really too far gone.

That’s a fact. It warmed a bit over the weekend and started raining. Condo manager warned the roof could collapse if the rain kept up. But it cooled enough to snow again….but on the way home the only south road was closed due to flooding. Had to detour through Death Valley and Las Vegas. My...

3 feet is a crapload. I was up in the central California Sierras. Snow 2nd floor deep.

We desert dwellers don’t have to deal with snow…unless we drive to it. I found to not leave the snow on the roof if you are going to use your brakes. When it all slid onto the hood Sunday could have been ugly. And I grew up in Buffalo with that stuff. Should know better.

Oh no. That one may never be saved.

So In Line Tube customer service also sent me a link for the 37 3/4” length cable. I ordered that rather than sending the other one back just for timeliness to get that task done. Got it today. It’s 37” too. So guess I send that one back for them to lengthen. Jeez.

Had a set of those heads a few years ago. One had bad machining that caused a gap issue at the intake on one side. The head angled away from the intake at rear of engine just a couple degrees but enough to deem that one junk. The vendor replaced the head and the new owner of the car is still...
