Just a thought. Could you use 2x6 joist hangers all the way across the wall and delete the beam altogether? Assuming the ends of the sistered 2x6s are butted up against framing...? I just wouldn't care for the 4x4 post there if it wasn't necessary. I maybe / probably could, but at this point, I am ...

Unfortunately, today's shops can't even fix modern vehicles, let alone handle 40+ year old technology. They just don't have the knowledge OR the equipment to work on carburated vehicles, you've got to find either an old timer's shop or a specialty shop, or, do the work yourself. Sad but true. I lea...

That's more logical and less ranty than I'm used to...

SHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! :shock: Don't tell anybody! :| :lol: I was gonna post that we're our own worst critic, but that's not true because I'm gonna judge the h . . . e . . . double hockey sticks out of it! :wink: :wink: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: It's been a while...

I stop by a few antique stores on a semi regular basis as I drive for work, and the last time I went by this one store, there was a sailboat hull for $100, and it caught my eye, but I walked past. I thought it was just the hull, and it had some damage. When I stopped by last Friday, it was marked do...

Go on, do it..... will give you so much more ammunition for the Grumpy Old Man thread......

I got a lot done on my workshop project today. Inside got painted, and lights got hung. One part of the project that ended up happening out of necessity, was replacing the exterior doors. They knew their time was up, and as soon as I started into this project, they literally started falling apart, e...

For my workshop, I found a crazy stupid deal on some fastener bins, so decided to make the base of my main worktop a bin holder. Plenty of storage, and this is only 12 of the 20 bins I have.

Picked up a little local deal at lunch time today. I'm referring to it as BBNR (built but never ran). I don't know if that acronym is a thing, but I buy quite a few rigs in that condition, so I am going with it. It is a 1st gen TA02 F150. He even threw in 3 unopened cans of Tami paint, which are wor...

KISS is great but my vote is always VH

I was 3/4 years old at the time, so missed the KISS phase.

I have to admit that I never was interested in them, and don't get the fascination that some have with them. Maybe a couple of songs that are pop-rocky and catchy, but nothing that sticks out as great music.

I just misread this as three quarters of a year old and got a chuckle. Thanks.

Isn't it more on the users to create the events, or at least show the companies and suppliers who would sponsor these things that there's enough interest in vintage racing to make such events happen? It's a completely different level of ask to have someone take the time to meet people, advertise, f...

So, when I say it's kind of up to the user to show their love and desire for events, this is what I mean. If you want vintage class racing, then you've got to get your like minded buddies together and petition the track to open a class just for you. If there's enough interest the track is going to ...

LOL! Brushless is the standard in modern RC.
