Heck, it might end up scrap as part of the build. Everyone has to learn somewhere. I don't think he is looking to build a show car, G-machine or restomod just something for having fun for a little while. A hack job to go bombing around in wouldn't take that long. I still think it sounds like a fun project.

I knew I was missing something in chemistry class.

I love this line: "I wouldn't climb out of the electric chair to get on one of those things"

Sounds like a blast. I'll bring the welder.

New track wheels for the Camaro showed up. Still waiting on the tires. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=371&pictureid=4835

I don't typically use BP gas either, but I have seen some shit that gas station owners do that is crazy. Some of them NEVER change the fuel filters in the dispensers, eventually they clog and the bypass opens up. I even saw an owner ignore their monitoring system and ended up with more than a little water in the tank (most underground tanks do have some water in them, it is inevitable). Also, since tanks are filled from the bottom, when the tanker fills them it stirs up all the crap that has settled to the bottom. The tanker may have just pulled out of the station and you got a tankfull of that shit. Clay, you might try dumping a bottle of seafoam in the tank to help try to flush the last of the bad shit out. Then reset the codes and see if they come back. Swapping the fuel filter might be in order too.

Sounds good to me, I'm in.

If that's all it is that's not a very tough job at all. Do you have all the hardware that go with the parts that came off? It will suck if you have to start tracking down missing bolts. How soon are you wanting to get this put back together? If you wait till the weather is better I might be able to help you get this done. Right now I'm pretty balled up with teaching, grad school and house projects.

I saw something like this with mine a few years back. Turned out the water inlet valve was not working well and was not allowing much (or any) water into the machine. I tested my hypothesis by dumping a few pitchers of water into the bottom of it and running it. When I did that the problem went away. If that is the case you have one of two problems. Either the electric valve has failed and needs to be replaced. Or the shutoff is jammed. Look in the bottom front corners, there will probably be a mushroom looking float. That is the shutoff. When it floats up it pulls closed and shuts off the water. If something gets underneath it and holds it in the up position then the washer will not fill. If neither of those do the trick you can get some of those gel tabs, and toss one in the bottom of the dishwasher when you run it instead of putting soap in the door.

How far is the "front" disassembled? What parts need reinstalled?

"cunt" carved in the door? I didn't notice, must have been looking at the wrong side. There has to be an interesting story to go with that.

Gonna grab a shower and head over.

RPM is who I bought my new T56 from. They were cool to deal with. The new trans is in but the moser 9" going in behind it has been giving us fits, so I have not had a chance to drive the car with the new tranny. I don't think you can go too far wrong dealing with RPM.

Awesome.

I was wondering what the catch was. I have seen the commercial a lot and it didn't sound right to me at all. Hmm, paying to bid, and forcing the bids to run in small increments (no big jumps) so there are lots of bids. Sounds almost like a lottery with the last bidder getting the item, but everyone else pays to play.

I'm in for pics too. Have been thinking about an enclosed trailer for some time now.

Camaro is still under the knife here at school. Rocking the Impala as usual.

Sounds like a good time .... for me to sit the bench and watch from the sidelines. I'll bet the competition will be pretty good.

Was one of the first things on my list of priorities when I had my car re-tuned.

Wow, 2 or 3 40# bags per week? I don't use that in a month with 2 of us in the house. I haven't kept track but I might be using one 40# bag a month. Mine is a two tank system though. After a preset number of gallons of soft water have been used it switches to the second tank and the cycles the first tank. Then repeats the process. I couldn't be more happy with mine. Brian, if you haven't already check in with West Jeff Plumbing and Heating. They deal in all that stuff. You can buy it and install it yourself (like I did), or they can install for you. http://westjeffplumbingandheating.com/heating-cooling.shtml

For me I know the salt systems work. Filling them is no big deal, I just need to get in the habit of checking it on a monthly basis. Otherwise I can tell when I take a shower it needs salt. I don't trust the systems that don't use salt and run on water pressure.

I put in a system I bought at West Jeff Heating and Plumbing. I've always had salt systems and this one is the same, but it's a dual tank system and I love it. It uses so little salt I forget to refill it. I'm hesitant about the systems that don't use salt, but then again I am not an expert at how they work. If I were to do it again I would do the same.

When I was looking at bed covers for the girlfriends truck Pickups Plus showed me some nice ones there. The one I would have gotten folds up in 4 or 5 panels, but the last one folds vertical against the back glass so the bed is completely open for use. Or you can fold just one or more panels if you have something smaller. So the bed goes from covered and locked to completely open in a matter of seconds with just one person. Then closes back up in the same amount of time.
