Universe seems to be on my side today. My MM Torque arm for mustang applications showed up today to find the FC sub rails are the same exact width as the Mustang, so this will install just like the Mustang will, I mean at least from eyeballing it.

The stars are aligned. Just needs a little chewing gum on it to hold it in...

Shaolin Crane

Well, it installs by welding 1x2 steel box rails to the subframe center which also braces to the seat mounts. Little more than bubble gum but this setup will be bullet proof.

looks like your most recent pictures do show that certain things are coming together reasonably well for you..............

I had a question on your shifter bracket fabrication................. was that something you came up with on your own or was there a template of some sorts which you were able to use with modifications to make it all tie together.............

pretty cool and self satisfying when things which may be issues for some, come together for those who have knowledge, talent, and the perseverance to see it through.............

My toploader is a mix of parts I found out, 64 1/2 V8 tail shaft with a later short ratio gear set and a 28sp output shaft. I looked at hundreds of photos until I found out what the problem is. The shaft has mounts 4" further back than others to accommodate for the weaker 25sp output shaft. First tried to track down a new tail shaft but they're $500ish average.

So sketched out the original bracket and made different templates for different positions until I found one that "worked". Since I don't have any CAD software it was largely eyeball and worked out in my head. I wasn't 100% sure it was going to work until my buddy back east cut the bracket for me on his CNC plasma cutter.

H1, I think you're right. I have been racking my brain for ideas to fleece the basers even more. I'm thinking some new décor in the hovel...
such as ladies unmentionables on the ceiling.* (note...offer a free drink to those lasses that offer up their undies in the main bar)...



Offer sex ed classes in the green room;
Sell mixed drinks by the pitcher for $30 (a pitcher contains 3 drinks);
Accept AA tokens to get a discounted drink (only $11);
Maybe have a couple tables of strip dominos going;
Maybe a crane machine where the objects to pick are airplane bottles of booze (but the jaws do not shut tight so nothing will ever be picked up);
Of course a breathalyzer machine that registers WAY low (to sell more booze);
Offer body painting;


Have the car wash gal stop by;

Whattaya think...

ruxvette

And, of course, offer some delicacies for snacks (for a price, of course)

Sorry the hovel has already retained the great artist Steve Ray.

The GSers ,however, are looking for an airbrush artist. They have already started the queue.

I was wondering if Ruxxy possibly had a lot of turbulance on his flight back to AZ and may have hit his head numerous times............

or possibly forgotten to take his meds again......................

Huskerman

Brilliant Ruxmeister........all great ideas......don't forget the cover charges to the hovel.....helps with the high maintenance down the steps in sin city.....

NOWUCME

Well H1 lets see, new hot topics......

I'll take work over Taxes any day....

There is a rumor going round that Sha and H1 have come up with a new project to work on together.... Maybe you can see the connection here >> should really be something...just saying

C7 Sales dropping....didn't they say the same thing last year?

Daughter working in India, friendly people Honking Horns ...Is this the daughter lives in Seattle?? Hmmm she work for Amazon, Microsoft, maybe Facebook. They all have big plans for India business. The wife's daughter worked for Amazon for about 7 years. Started getting free 3 year vested stock grants several times a year when the stock was selling at about $190. She bought a house in Seattle about 4 years ago for around $300K and just sold it for over $500K. I'm guessing she had several thousand shares of Amazon before she quit...you figure . She an her significant other just took off for a year trip around various parts of the world. Nice to be young, in the right place at the right time, and up to the opportunity, these days. We get to take care of the Dog...

Oh, and the land yacht is currently winterized till about March if we are lucky. It's just a vacation and long weekend vehicle for now. Maybe a year of so will be more fulltime.

Cougs had a Good year, actually a GREAT Year for them. Leach will probably get all kinds of offers, now that he's become a legit team builder again, after the Texas Tech debacle he had to go through. They completed their rebuilt stadium in 2014 along with the new football training facilities. That was Moos's main objective when he arrived back at WSU. Back a couple years we had season tickets and got to enjoy a bit of it. Had a friend that was in charge of marketing the football program to the big donors(not me). After they built the new suites etc. he would get me and the Mrs up into the special new digs when they were not full(of the big donors) for a game. Pretty nice.



New seating and suite areas.

Enjoying the good life, food and drinks several years back.

GO COUGS #10
THAT'S ALL FOLKS....Have a Happy Hammy day...
As several have said, just getting older now but still plugging along. Winters are really harder to take, but pretty mild except for the temps this year..

Looking very good out there Nowucme……………………….. FIRST CLASS as all the baser's seem to live life...………

speaking of FIRST CLASS and the basers……………

seems that the baser from Texas has gotten to know Jerry Jones from his fondness for Dem 'Boys...………..

basers have a new water vessel to travel around on, thanks to the profitability of the NFL, Texas oil, and baser bottle returns...…………

soon should be docked on the east coast of Texas...……… just a quick trip across the state in a base car...……….

and if my memory serves me...……………. seems there is a GS'er who may know how to swab the decks from his US Naval days...…………. just sayin'...……………
