  1. If you put the batteries back in and threw it under the seat, Mr. E would think there was a hornets nest and get the wasp spray out.
  2. Willie, next time one of us bleeds brakes, let's get it on video and be all Mudbone about it.
  3. Inside the house. I had a small one in the garage, but then I had to clean it and keep coffee and filters, etc. Decided to give it to Goodwill with the old microwave I had.
  4. No. The plunger pushes out as the pedal is pressed. He has wanted me to take a video of me using mine. The worst part of his way is that occasionally the hose pops off the nipple. I HAVE used a vacuum pump and the pressure method with success before, as well as the pump with a friend method. They will all work, and they all can cause problems at times. I don't like bleeding brakes.
  5. I would do two things after making sure your cables are kosher as has been suggested. Change solenoid. Wrap that pipe with heat wrap (speed section in a Pep Boys / O'Reilly type store). The pipe wrap looks better than any "shield" you can come up with, and it won't hurt to lower underwood temps. This is (of course) if you don't want your car judged anytime soon.
  6. Of course you know there is a fridge in back.
  7. Not sure how I missed this post. That parts bin is actually two sides and rolls. I have done everything to try and actually take advantage of that, but in the end I just parked it against a wall and only use one side.
  8. I paid handsomely for my first NOS 55, Lance. Found one in a badly set up auction that went for $35.
  9. I think that is Lance's auction. May be a little steep, but if you need one, you need one. After looking for a decent one for my first car, I started hoarding em.
  10. Hey Rancher, I'm in Austin and I just forwarded this to a guy who has a 67 Electra that I installed Longhorns on his hood. What are you asking for the car?
  11. I didn't initially think the swamp cooler would work in our humidity, but if it is blowing directly on you, it does cool you down. You can either fill the bottom with water, or hook a hose up. I mostly use it while lounging outside after work with beverage in hand. The other thing I have is a 60" exhaust fan that is installed above the cinder blocks (so 12' high). It is so powerful that you have to have a door open or it sucks the garage door in. It is an industrial 220v fan with louvres that open when blowing. No AC. It would cost a fortune to condition nearly 2,000 sq ft. with no insulation and a 28' ceiling. It has hit 125 degrees in the garage with the doors closed. I just use small space heaters in the winter and space them out so they warm "near me". The disadvantage to this much concrete is that it keeps whatever temp the garage WAS yesterday, so if it stays in the 30's or 40's for a few days, it does get cold in the garage. Maybe not Thriller or Syrdal cold, but Mikey wears a sweatshirt at 79 degrees.
  12. You edited your question and you deleted a post and then you get snippy?
  13. Rob, ACC has a bunch more colors if you call and request samples. I believe Lamar said it is Gros Point, though: I have no idea what that is comparatively.
  14. I believe I may have each key cut for each of my cars. Yep, I did it.
  15. Yes sir. Thats why there are three kits available.
  16. The big white rolling cab is a "swamp cooler". It blows a fan cooled by water dripping down the intake screens.
  17. The guy who owned this place left some cool stuff behind. One of which was four glass cabinets that were purchased at an auction. They have stickers that say "Property of Institute for Immunological Disorders". Other medical terms are stickered on the windows and shelves. Above the entry door is what remains of a submarine radio or sonar. It was two five foot tall thick aluminum cabinets bolted together and I got tired of relocating them around the shop every time I reorganized. I kept the cool bits and screwed them into the studs above the door. I cropped my postcard of Bettie Page on the glass cabinet so I didn't offend anybody who hates awesome racks.
  18. If they sit without driving, I pass em on. My Special is getting nervous!
  19. Clean storage and 1964 Rogers Black Diamond Pearl drumset.
