    Hyundai Iron Man Edition

    Thought about Subaru too, bought a new 2006 Legacy for my daughter, she drove it until 2021 when she traded it in for a new Crosstrek. I did the maintenance for her, all it needed was timing belts, steering pump, steering rack, tierod ends, brakes, batterys small stuff. Pretty reliable car...

    Hyundai Iron Man Edition

    The V-6 models had a bad timing chain problem (OHC) and the Trailblazer was plagued with electrical failures too. The newer diesel versions are supposed to be OK I have heard.

    Vintage Chrysler Plymouth Dodge Dealership Pictures

    My Dad in 1965. He had an International Harvester dealership, and thought it would be fun to sell Mopars too.

    Hyundai Iron Man Edition

    Perfect timing for this thread, my 80 year old buddy I am helping with his 73 Duster project needs a new 4wd SUV type car for his wife and asked me to help him find one. I know of a few to stay away from like the chebby Traverse and the GMC Acadia, and of course his Trailblazer. What do you guys...

    What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

    Nice work! I built a conversion van too, out of a Ram Promaster. I sold it for the cash to build a Roadrunner!

    What did you do to your Mopar today?

    I had to take the HP manifolds back off the 440 and re-seal the studs. The good industrial thread sealer I thought would seal anything got steam cleaned outa there after 800 miles. They all have #2 spermatex on them now.

    Recommendations on a 2 post lift

    I have 12' 4" ceiling height, the top of the posts are 7" down from the ceiling. As others have said you want the cables going over the top to keep the floor clear. It is a 10K and it is installed on a 4 inch thick slab. I put braces on the top to keep the posts from moving and possibly walking...

    Doing the upholstery yourself

    You are right those straight lines take a little practice and getting to know the machine, I have to feed the material in angled slightly to the right on mine to get it to run straight. My point to this thread was to inspire others to do it, I found the machine for 300 bucks, and have made that...

    Doing the upholstery yourself

    It is really not all that difficult if your old seat covers are intact enough to cut them apart for patterns. I spent more time restoring/repairing the rusty old seat frames than I did on the new covers. Go for it!

    Time to sell?

    Even if you dont have the time to work on it now, it is an asset worth keeping in my opinion! Money in the bank.

    Doing the upholstery yourself

    I used a fairly inexpensive vinyl, being a rookie at it, did not want to ruin the expensive stuff! They are comfortable, I added extra foam on the lumbar area you can see the bulge in the picture. Extra padding and support in the bottom cushions too.

    Doing the upholstery yourself

    Did the visors, door panels and the vinyl top too.

    Doing the upholstery yourself

    The Roadrunner turned out OK I think, It is no show car or museum piece but a nice driver a guy can be proud of.

    Doing the upholstery yourself

    Bought this old Singer industrial machine last year shortly after I drug the RR home. I decided that I wanted to do as much of the work on the car myself as possible, and learning new skills is a big plus too. The machine is the original walking foot design that has been copied many times over...
