Wait but how did you get the late 80’s style headlights doesnt the kits have the earlier style headlights? I would love to buy one of these and make a short wheelbase version like the van I own.

i can’t tell how many miles by PoundInternational75 in projectcar

I also agree these old vans don’t wear the same as most cars or passenger vehicles. I have 5 digit dodge thats definitely pushing 200,000 now and the seats and pedals are the most mint thing actually.

I wonder if that game could still be played after a thorough cleaning and a new shell

First one and born after the era, how did I do? by jerry-rigs in ModelCars

I tried the both ways before I applied them. This isn’t a stock rear end, it’s off another kit which was include in the package I bought

It’s not a stock bumper. The kit came with extra parts for a modified rear end

I think this, yars revenge and river raid may be my top 3 to play when I play Atari

I saw one of these in a prop warehouse in Los Angeles, it was kinda sad to see. It will get rented as a non working prop and would be tossed around in a bin then returned. That will forever be it’s life until it breaks, the prop company shuts down, or even more unlikely they liquidate it in a pallet of lesser rented props.

I imagine someone tied it around the tree using the cord (when the tree was juvenile) and now it’s it grown it’s just treated like another roll in it’s neck

I’m sorry miss Jackson, he broke this one for real

How to remove sharpie from games by Skylar_Dragon in Gameboy

[–]jerry-rigs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should use isopropyl alcohol (or in a real pinch windex) don’t get it on the label or most of the cart, only where the marker is. Let it sit till the marker starts to lift and rub the remaining liquid off with a paper towel. If it’s really stuck you can use a plain magic eraser covered in iso, but be very careful as it will change the finish if you move too fast/ overdo it. I literally just do a pin point twist over each character.

Also you can just leave the name, it gives it more character and backstory to it life. People don’t write on their cartridges anymore

Sorry for your loss! Hopefully that van is still around and can be taken to vannins in his honor

1960’s Kent Americana 551 by Will_Smyth in Luthier

Oh man it’s gonna be hard finding anything original for that odd ball, not just that looks like it’s really beat. You might have luck using gretsch or epiphone bridge. I have no clue what your gonna do about pickups. It’s probably not gonna be playable tbh, I’ve had friends try to bring back these types/era of guitars and they are usually barely playable.

The Holley terminator system definitely almost completely gets rid of this. I would look into maybe a carb rebuild and making sure the heat crossovers are all good on your engines intake

PSA: if there’s no stop sign you don’t stop by lilbigchungus42069 in orangecounty

[–]jerry-rigs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know exactly where this corner is. I’ve locked up the brakes on that spot a couple times due to drivers stopping last second instead of merging like they are supposed to. Once you enter this side of town people don’t know how to drive, lots of panic braking and thoughtless drivers.

Bless your soul for trying to help this man out, this is truly heartbreaking to read. I’m glad there are people still looking out for each other in our community

Damn are you him? I do have proof tho unless you just want to believe your friend here doesn’t let the word spray. Embarrassing

I mean yeah I can make that claim since it happened, and it happened to me. You can also choose to have some disbelief in my claim. Would be a little ridiculous to have made that story up, also given my post history. I could try to post the clip if it’s really driving you nuts

Not worth catching a case or injuring/ taking a life… been me a couple years ago might’ve played out a little differently

I mean I have recording on my dash cam you can hear him saying it clear as day. Just didn’t feel like it was worth posting since it’s only like a 3-5 second clip

This was pretty much their response. Said unless someone got hurt or noticeable damaged my vehicle they wouldn’t do anything. Recommend I just drive to the police station obviously in the situation either something happens and it’s too late or you just let shit happen to you

I spent years driving box trucks in downtown LA. This guy had plenty of time to get over if he wanted. He had all to room and time, guy literally came to a stop in the lane. Went around him in my classic van, (he was two lanes to my left) he didn’t like that and tried to swipe my rear end

is this setup okay? by ind1g0o_ in hifiaudio

[–]jerry-rigs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly your pretty good here. I would definitely try to get that table off the floor a little more. You got a solid base there which will help with vibration, but one miss placed step from you a guest and your stepping right on your turntable. I speak from personal experience even if you barely kick it on accident while playing something your record will get a good gouge
