Hi I'm Zach 25 years old and live in Columbus. Have a passion for working on cars and other stuff. mostly self taught and with advice from other people with experience. I took 3 quarters of automotive and AMT training at cscc but thats about it. I have a 2002 Camaro rs that I will be doing a motor swap on soon once I get my garage back in order. Recently finished rebuilding the engine in my 1948 Ford 8N. Tried to get it running last year and found it had 3 seized valves so I decided to do a rebuild. my first actually Here's some pics http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/062314203910_zpsroygavhi.jpg Stuck Valves http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/062414221449_zpsvzb6v4iz.jpg Cylinder head http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/062714110327_zpsjgxnop5a.jpg Cylinder 4 was pretty bad, later found a crack and a bit of missing material on the surface of the exhaust manifold on that cyl http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/062714110411_zpsreoybch7.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/062714110422_zpsjjj8ye9t.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/070914174619_zpswcem127m.jpg After machine shop http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/081214160911_zpsrtxwy0lc.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/081214160927_zpsntjiebra.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/081214161005_zpsjuo1g352.jpg New bearings and polished crank, had to get another set of bearings cause i was not careful and scratched one and didn't want to risk it http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/082414134315_zpsxicrxfan.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/20150120_191719_zpsbaihdaf1.jpg Made these to adjust valve lash, they hold the lifters while the adjustment screw is turned http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/20150205_192349_zps562kzzjl.jpg http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/20150205_192321_zpsdfknml1w.jpg Reattached http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/20150205_163302_zps13tdaav3.jpg This is where I am at now. Runs and drives good hydraulics are working and only 11 months later. I do have more pics of painting and sheet metal work but its a pita to get them off my phone http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll5/fretcleaner/20150505_194505_zpsmlomfrnp.jpg fenders still need paint but the are free of rust holes and relatively flat. front wheels too but the back wheels are pretty far gone I don't really want to waste effort on trying to make them look better. still a work in progress

Friendly reminder, riding wheelies on a highly traveled 2 lane road with a speed limit of 55 probably isn't the brightest idea. So if you were with the toolshed that was riding wheelies today about 7pm on Alton Darby in Hilliard please just stop. If you hit my truck head on, I may feel like I hit a bug, possibly a cat, nothing more. You however will be dead, I would rather that not happen. Come on people, I doubt it was anyone here, but let's pass the reminder around not to be a fucking moron. Mmmmkay, thanks.

I'm torn, one one hand there's a Hypestrada to drool over, then there's the 20-somethings behind the checkout counter. I just never know what to focus my creepy rape stare at.

Just make sure you let Jim lead when you ride with him that way you don't have to watch that silly modulator in your mirror. And white helmets are still in fashion until after labor day.

We all should get together for dinner Saturday night downtown.

Thanks guys. would have put more up but i was limited to 15 but yeah. I am planning to swap an ls of some origin in the camaro just depends what I can get my hands on for a good price, all things considered something mild probably. we shall see

Its Cleveland, riots would up the property value and might help the Browns win.

Oooh, that's a sexy color. Being that its an old cb350, black would NOT have been my choice, but its what dude wants. I'll have to expose him to these other options. thanks!

That's a beaut! Have seen this one in person and it is one nice bike - very well cared for. GLWS!

Get off my lawn!!

Does that mean it is officially time for some people to start backing out?

Another long day of airports...3 hours to my flight out of Iowa, time to drink!

After witnessing 7 head shots I am would think most anyone would cooperate. I have a new theory on what happened with HD's new info. 2 asshats shot each other, then a bunch of law abiding motorcyclists pulled their weapons to defend themselves. I would certainly do the same. Cops declared open season on bikers and fired off 7 head shots from their safe sniper positions across the street. They will be cleared of any wrongdoing as they always are. #BikerLivesMatter #NoJusticeNoPeace
