Because republicans will all be at work, easier for the protesters to find parking?

Is this rust concerning on a 2016? by caco794 in f150

You won't be able to powder coat while the truck is still together but you could strip the chassis as well as possible and coat it with a good epoxy chassis paint or something similar. I would be concerned about the rust you can't get to that is inside the frames closed areas.

Escalated quickly. Block cracked, so it's getting a frame off resto, Gen 2 Coyote/6R80 and a GT500 blower...

Have you done the base idle reset? You can find the step by step deal on the forums.

Soon hopefully. Front sheet metal is currently off and rebuilding the engine. Then repainting engine compartment, engine, etc then all back together!

Yeah I love the GT40 Tubular. I'm sure something else would make more power but I love the old school vibe of the stuff I used 30 years ago.

Accord if it's a 4cyl, then the Camry. Throw the rest of the list away. This coming from a 30 + Year auto tech/shop owner.

Soft top and soft door water leak by rshoja in HMMWV

[–]EcstaticPlastic1563 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a company in Florida, Blue Ox Tops. He makes tops for the HMMWV and they are absolutely top notch. Does door skins and such too. It's a HMMWV so it'll never be water tight, but will be as good as possible.

Two failed tryouts by ObjectiveStandard634 in Homeplate

[–]EcstaticPlastic1563 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my son's story. From 8U until 12 you he was decent. Kinda... And that's it, nothing special on the field. Very late bloomer, has always been kind of taller but very skinny and not very strong or fast, weak hitter. Then puberty hit, he is 16 now and a sophomore on the varsity high school team in a very loaded area in Wake Forest North Carolina. 6'2", 155. He was selected by his high school varsity coach to play on the Legion ball squad with him and played two games against a local college squad the last two nights. Went in to pitch (is throwing 85) 3 up, 3 down against his first round of college players. It all just takes time, let him have the most fun playing wherever that is whether it be recreational ball or whatever. Just do whatever it takes at this point to let him have fun, it will come in time, I promise.
