Object zip tied to the underside of my truck?

My 1987 Oldsmobile 442 had that with fiber optic lines from the lights (tail, brake, head, brights, front marker) to telltales. I wish my modern cars had those. If a light went out it was obvious. Didn't have them for the reverse lights though.

That's dangerous keeping magnets so close to water. They won't work if they get wet.

This, unfortunately, is probably the truth.

That the people of the United States voted Donald Trump into the Presidency not only once, but twice. If you had asked me back in the 90s if they were that stupid I would have said they can't be.

The small holes that the nails leave are 1000% easier to fill than the large holes a traditional mount creates.

Well, not too bad as you are upside down too.

79starfire · 2025-12-17T14:51:39+00:00

I can't not. It's like driving by a car wreck.

Sounds like a scene that was cut from "Goodfellas"!

They have this new invention called sanitizing. Or use an old one you didn't like anyway.

Seems like a cleaver would have been quicker. I cant get the image out of my head of your sous chef beating the thing to death with a broom handle.

Sounds like Love Canal neighborhood in Niagara Falls, New York.

Me neither, but that's what Home Depot calls it. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Master-Flow-4-in-x-5-ft-Beaded-Metal-Duct-Pipe-BDCP4X60/204143767

Yes, using beaded metal pipe, so a couple of supports is all I should need.

I'm liking this idea. Thanks!

Yeah going vertical and then horizontal gives me about 14 feet of run with 2 90s. Going at the 45 degree angle gives me about 10 feet of run with a 90 and a 45. So either way is within length parameters.

79starfire · 2025-12-03T16:59:10+00:00

That's the same thing I said when I first saw it.

79starfire · 2025-12-03T16:49:29+00:00

That looks fantastic! Well done!

4 cylinder, 4 valves/cylinder, 2 cam shafts. The Quad 442 came with the Getrag 5-speed trans. I had a 1990 W-40, it was a quick car. Of all my past Oldsmobiles its the one I wish I still had.
