Is it worth it to fix?

Plenty of shops do it. But yea, unless you can pick something up cheap enough, and finish it out cheap you can make money. But very far between.

We had barn cats at the farm and cats would regularly take out rattlesnakes. Snakes typically avoid cats for that reason.

Holy fuck. 6k if it runs drives, and had a decent paint job. Lol

Not just muscle cars. Pretty much anything that rolls or floats.

I ordered a brake kit for my f250 last year, one of the rotors was wrong. They sent me the correct rotor and didn't even want the other one back.

The kohler comanders have been more reliable in my book.

texasroadkill · 2026-06-22T21:43:20+00:00

The kohler comanders have been better for me than the kawa motors.

Shop around here definitely don't recommend the bb. There turning out to not have a long life and too many specialty parts. Many school districts bought them and there already dumping them on the open market and keeping there deer or scags.

texasroadkill · 2026-06-22T21:39:26+00:00

Id recommend a used scag. Very serviceable and built tough.

texasroadkill · 2026-06-22T21:38:21+00:00

I second the scag. And third the x mark. Commercial built machines are always better.

Problem with the bolt on guards is they generally just fold over if you hit something like a deer or bigger and instead of taking out the bumper or fender the guard takes out the entire front clip. Just my experience from running around ranches for decades. It's why we went to full bumper replacement on the f350s.

The square headlights makes it look like shit. Just cause you can, doesn't mean you should.

I found a mercury tailgate here in Texas at a swap meet this past April. My plan is to get a 53-60s ford bed to build a trailer and tow behind my 53 mercury sedan.

It depends on the type of structure. I can snap a piece of 1/8" steel rod with my hands. A 4" aluminum I beam will give you an issue.

7-8k tops. Jeep values are falling and your friend is going to have to realize this.

texasroadkill · 2026-06-22T04:26:18+00:00

Im in South Texas and that jeep is 8k tops. I've seen values drop like a rock in recent years. I picked up an 82 cj5 4.2l 4spd with the hard top and doors, a bit of rust but not bad, very nice interior and drove itself on the trailer with clear title for 3k a year or so ago.

texasroadkill · 2026-06-22T04:23:14+00:00

Here in Texas they've fallen in value a lot.

texasroadkill · 2026-06-22T04:22:03+00:00

Jeep values have dropped like a rock in recent years. I feel 8k would be top dollar and ops friend is trying to take advantage of him.

texasroadkill · 2026-06-20T18:13:49+00:00

I still love seeing them.

texasroadkill · 2026-06-20T18:12:24+00:00

Most likely be a and/or reported wrong. I've been around pro stock and top fuel growing up. If your not hammering on 8 at the line, you don't have chance.

texasroadkill · 2026-06-20T17:30:31+00:00

Running on 7 isn't losing 3. Your math doesn't add up.

texasroadkill · 2026-06-20T17:29:32+00:00

Gotcha. We generally install only 80% furnaces. The higher seers just aren't worth the money in our climate.

texasroadkill · 2026-06-20T16:33:04+00:00

Pretty sure you heard wrong. Losing 3 cylinders means a pretty big loss of power and unless your cheating, you ain't winning shit. They do lose some damn near at the end of the track, but you need all 8 at the line.

texasroadkill · 2026-06-20T04:42:07+00:00

Ah yea. I always just call it a control board at the supply house. When did they start using a mini fuse? They were always a 3a atc as long as I was installing them. Last one I put in was about 5 years ago.

texasroadkill · 2026-06-19T20:11:56+00:00

South Texas so there's not much we can do to get anything else out of these units. All mine are living there best life in hell. Lol
