  2. More work on the Camaro

    in Passing Lane

    Posted

    Looks nice. You are a little further ahead of me. I still need to hang my rear quarters. I just finished re-doing the windsheild frame on the vette. This took longer than what I expected. Since the vette is back to together, now is it Z28 time.

     

    HINT,

    You can get the historical license plate for your car. This will save a lot of$$ on plates and insurance.

  3. Car hauler questions

    in Passing Lane

    Posted

    I would buy a Featherlite 3110. That is what I have. I am not bias, but it is the 'best' open car hauler you can buy. It will never rust. Sure it costs more than $1500s but it is a light weight trailer. It weights under 2000 lbs. It can be pulled by a V6 S-10 truck. What ever you get, you got to have electric brakes on the trailer.

     

    I think there was a used Featherlite 3100 in the Columbus Dispatch last week for ~$3500.

    My family and I am going through some tough times. The motorcyclist that died was my wife's cousin Trent. It is such a shame to make some bad decisions and put others into such pain. Trent was one of a nice and hard working guy, but made a mistake that that no-one can take back.

     

    FYI,

    Trent was 31 years old and been riding bikes for over 10 years and is from Westerville. Trent graduated from Westerville South in '93.

    I can’t picture how anyone can go that fast on a bike. I have been up to 135 on my Interceptor years ago and will not do that ever again. I was young and naive (26). I was tucked down in fairing, but still felt like I was going to be pulled off the bike from the wind.

     

    Be careful and don’t do anything any stupid, you will not get a second chance.

    I have been distracted, but I am getting back into it. I just got the other car(father inlaw's 87 vette) I have been storing in the barn out and now I have some room for the Z-28. I should have the Z28 out in the next few weeks. It is not much to look at, but what the hell it is a Z28. I still need to hang the rear quarters. I am go to Springfield this weekend to sell some other cars and hopefully a 2 post lift. How is your coming?

    No, Just wanted to check the windshield frame for rust. The only way to do this is to remove the windshield. This is usually a bad area for rust on vettes. I was lucky and didnt have too much to fix. I should have the car back on the road within the next couple of weeks.

    Those Superbirds/Daytona rule. To me those are some of the most incredible pimp'd factory stock cars built. I know a fellow on the west side out of Columbus that owns two of them. The nice one cost him over 100K fifteen years ago.

  25. Trailer Axle Hub

    I need to find somewhere local to buy either a whole axle (hub-to-hub), or buy a new hub and have it welded back onto the axle. The length from the inside of each hub is about 91".

     

    Any help is much appreciated.

    I would replace the whole axle. What capacity do you need(3000k, 4000K, etc)? I have some hook ups on axles and trailer parts?
