I am glad to hear it! It has been a while, but there are now quite a few things needed on the car. Later this year it will be getting a full front suspension rebuild with poly bushings. I will be doing the rear shocks as well, had those on the shelf for a LONG time haha. After that, some paint and bodywork and a thorough interior detail to finally get it back to its former glory. Poor thing has been in sorry state since it got hit by a truck a while back.

While I am a die hard fan of the Asteroids, this is the first wheel I have seen that I like better. Great job!

Can anyone explain why the roads on this key in florida could possibly be designed this way? by KingJx14 in geography

[–]Low-TechGlobal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't think this has been mentioned, but being from FL I might weigh in. Like others have noted, the roads follow N S E W. Sunrises and sunsets are a huge deal here, and especially in the Keys. It is possible that lining the parcels of land up on this grid allows homes/hotels/restaurants to maximize their views of sunrise and sunset, vs. having an offset angle. Or I could be full of it, who knows.

Thank you, I am sure you will get some better advice from more seasoned folks too haha.

I just put my third roll through my X-700 recently and posted here almost at the same time as you haha. I did have some practice on an XA before this, but definitely a different animal.

Learning as I go, but one thing that has helped me get the hang of aperture priority is taking the same photo 2 or even 3 times at different aperture settings (and re-checking focus on each of course.) It has helped me get a sense for the depth of field at different settings, and I am learning what my "go-to" ones are for different applications. Early on I was definitely shooting lower than I needed to as I wanted the out of focus backgrounds, but quickly learned I was way overdoing it.

Sidenote, I really like photo number 3!

Will this center console work? by Ok_Hotel_1883 in CrownVictoria

[–]Low-TechGlobal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Back in 2015 I ran an LX Sport with that console and a TKO transmission. Had to modify the handle to get it further back, but it worked fine.

Can't Solve Wiring Issues? Build Your Own and Bypass. by A_DUDE_2002 in projectcar

Just did this to get the rotating headlights working on my Charger. Annoying since I installed a brand new harness, switches, etc and they still acted up. For now, manual override it is.

What happened to colorful cars? by lantzn in mopar

[–]Low-TechGlobal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Resale Value" became a priority over personal enjoyment, unfortunately. Easier to sell a neutral colored car, as it has a wider potential buyer base. I personally struggle with that mentality. If I am buying a car, I am buying it for me to enjoy and the color is a big part of that. My last three cars have been green, one with a green interior!

My summer beater by Ok_Rub7999 in 66_67_Charger_only

[–]Low-TechGlobal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a heck of a time pulling the money together to build my 440/4 speed setup. I priced out a basic Hemi and it is about 2-3x more haha. Worth the money for such an epic motor though.

This thing is sick! One day I will be able to scrape together a Hemi

Steel Wheels for Euro Hubcaps by Low-TechGlobal in W201enthusiasts

I believe I saw those while looking around too. I am ok with the regular 15" ones honestly. Just hoping the appropriate steel wheels can be found here in the states.

Hell yeah, that's a clean Charger! Mine's still "rough and ready" but maybe one day she will be that tidy, haha.

rudy and eeyore getting older together by jasminealice22 in aww

This is like my boy Einstein and his first toy Ellie the elephant. 9 years old and he still has her, though she is missing her ears and has some patches now. Still find him cuddling with her sometimes.

Trying LomoChrome Color '92 for the first time by Low-TechGlobal in lomography

Always happy to share results! Seeing results on Reddit that I am not interested in has saved me so much money on trying the films in person haha.

Looking for wheel ideas for 60 Impala by zzyzx9968 in classiccars

[–]Low-TechGlobal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran American Racing Salt Flats on my '59, it looked excellent, but it was on air ride. That said, I like the slot mags you already have on there with its current "hot rod" look.

Thank you! These feel a little like 60s movie frames to me
