    Flat Orange General Lee? Opinions.

    Unless they restored it, it isn't THE Bullitt mustang. THE car was unrestored and rough when it sold.

    Front End FRIDAY!!!

    Well THIS was exciting... and unexpected... and dangerous!!!

    It doesn't take much to topple the mast on the hoist. It also doesn't take much to properly triangulate it. But I guess you're smarter than EVERY engineer who designed a cherry picker hoist.

    Road runner clone advice

    Just look at the rating on the switches (amperage), and the fuse for a horn. I wouldn't use a switch anyway. Momentary button. Same amperage advice exists, though.

    Any Vegas residents?

    No, it's a standalone production company. We work in all sorts of venues - concert halls, sports arenas, outdoor venues, special events, you name it. Apparently last weekend included a magician in vegas...then a drive to LA for pyro at the clippers game. I havent been out there yet, but one of...

    Road runner clone advice

    You "can" just run it through a switch, but it will sound anemic and possibly burn out the switch. Using a relay gives full juice to the horn, without running all that juice through the (likely Chinesium plastic) switch.

    Any Vegas residents?

    Well the work I've done so far for this company has been in NYC, at Citi Field. Talk about traffic, and rude. At least my cars won't rust out there...

    Any Vegas residents?

    Appreciate the info. Definitely want to hear it all - good AND bad. Reality is, I have 3 dogs and those temps will be tough. And...no grass. That part is just weird to me. I mean, I get it - desert. But, I'm born and raised East Coast. Mountains. Foliage. GREEN, not brown. Looking around...

    Any Vegas residents?

    Waaaay early stages here, but I've been offered a job. A nice job. Nice money. But...it would require relocating to Vegas. Anyone live out there, who can offer insights into life out that way? I visited once, 3 days, when I worked for Buell motorcycles...but spent the whole trip on the...

    Would of/could of. No...it's would HAVE, or could HAVE.

    Well THIS was exciting... and unexpected... and dangerous!!!

    The flat stock is only potentially "flimsy" under compression - the side the boom is leaning TOWARDS. However, it is ultra-strong in extension, or, the side the boom is leaning AWAY from. This MORE than counteracts the compression side, because (through triangulation) it keeps that side from...

    Neat little tool to save the fingers and lots of time

    I don't have anything that is fed by a clip - they all use magazines. Belt fed would be fun, though...lol

    ...wouldn't that be "sak-crete"? Technically? :poke:

    "Please S T O P saying this" thread.

    I agree. Michelle (and TONS of other people) loves saying "a person that works for me", or "the customer that came in"....NO!!!!! It's "a person WHO" and "a customer WHO"!!!!! THINGS-that PEOPLE-WHO!!! Anymore when she says it, I just mutter "who" and she glares at me. Oh well, at least it...

    Neat little tool to save the fingers and lots of time

    +1 on the Uplula. Compact enough to fit in the range bag for practice days, and dirt-simple to use. I do need to get some speed loaders for my wheel gun though...maybe someday. It's a novelty shooter anyway, not like I use it all that often (1952 Colt 4" OP given by my uncle, to my dad, before...

    "BCE" It's NOT "Before Common Era"...it's BEFORE CHRIST. It has been, for over two thousand years. (stopping myself before it gets political).

    LED Headlight conversion what to use

    again...change to an LED or HID bulb when you install, and both your current draw and your service life issues are addressed. 35w H4 HID, $35 a pair; H4 LED, anywhere from $20each and up. I've run the Hellas in my motorcycles for nearly a decade now, with 35w HID lamps, and zero issues - and...
