I would offer to help but I don't know how I'm going to do everything that is already on my list for this weekend.
Probably going to miss a really good Cars and Coffee too.

Biggest thing that took time for me was getting all the bolts started during re-assembly. After lots of little movements I managed to get it aligned so I could put all the bolts in with my fingers a good portion of the way. The fronts are much tougher because you're going through several plates at once.
Here is the back on one side. The large hole at the top center of the picture is the best place to use a pry bar to make fine adjustments.

This is the completed front.

Here is the jack setup I used to support the cradle while I was moving it around.

Rattlebomb them flat black, done.

I'll bet you only get the cash after you take your car in to be neutered.

Great news!

That's a big project. Starting with just an owners manual and building a car around it!

Yes?
For some reason the video went from 1080p to 320 during the upload. I deleted the link while I'm reencoding it and reuploading.

I had lots of fun and managed to limp the car home.
I'm hoping to get the car off the ground tomorrow night and figure out what is loose in the front suspension.
I'll post some videos on YouTube later on.

A SSD would be a plus even if it's small if you plan to keep it connected for logging. That way vibration or falling on the floor isn't going to damage the drive and screw things up, or at best a spinning drive would park its heads for protection and stop writing and cause the system to hang for a few moments missing data.

I'm in.

?? Idk anything about getting a job like that, care to inform?
It's just how you think about your skills and apply them to the job.
You're obviously mechanically skilled. The number of GM certs you have shows you can learn new systems quickly and apply the knowledge.
Pretty much everyone they bring in will need fully trained on their systems anyhow since they are pretty specialized.

I like the font in post #63 if you could manually add the lines on that I think you have a winner.

1.5/10 will not attend again.
Glad I had a bunch of stuff that needed done at the house then.

Investing a little money into more RAM and a SSD would turn either of these into very capable machines at an excellent price.
I can buy car parts, but if I bring home another computer my wife will kill me...

A lot of people rock the CR stickers on there cars though.
I've been around for a while and I still have no idea where to get one of those stickers from.

"BUILD A WALL" is now a direct reference to brown people????
They just need to sell "Build a wall" as a jobs creation program and it will get more support...

Our riding mower sounded like that when the battery went bad. Still would read high enough voltage but didn't have enough amps to start it. The battery tender boiled all the water out of it over the winter.
-
Please. I'll look into it.
Thanks, Brian. I need to do another website for my wife's business so I need to dig into the best/simplest website platforms. This is a good way to start.
If you want I can meet you for a hour or two and walk you through the basic setup. You can also create a trial site for free for 14 days to just play with their software.
I can't seem to find the referral info anymore. Maybe they ended that.
-
Can they support the site on their servers as well?
Looking to keep this as free as possible.
It's like 8 bucks a month. Includes server hosting and the backend software. I can get you a referral code if you go that route.

Guys, I'm not the best at coding. I had an OSU student make some updates to http://www.columbuscarsandcoffee.net back in 2014, but he went radio-silent on me. I will make some content updates, but is anyone familiar with plug-ins for WordPress to pull Facebook pics and YouTube videos?
Any help would be appreciated.
Since it's a pretty simple site I'd suggest just moving it to SquareSpace so you don't have to mess with any of the backend software. I'm hosting http://imprtcl.com there just for simplicity.

Are you in each store making sure they are doing this? Probably not. I'll continue to refrain from eating there.
LOL you should never eat out anywhere again then...
Installing BMR Cradle Lockout Kit

You're not really lifting the car, just supporting the cradle so putting a single jack on the diff should be ok.
