My kid is taking his sweet time popping out, so I’m hot rodding his radio flyer. It’ll be a push style like a stroller but with a steering wheel. He’s gonna get a little tikes steering wheel at the front of the tub to play with, and Im going to make 4 top fuel dragster style exhaust for each side. I’m most likely going to shorten the rack because I don’t have room for tie rods.

I'm still mostly moving into my new place despite actually moving in July of last year, but I got some work done on the electrical and lights this past weekend. No, the Tundra isn't running yet, AAA chase moved it.

I tossed some no/nc limit switches on the garage door rails to control the lights. Then I deleted the ratchet from some spent cord reels I had kicking around to connect the door to the light circuit in the ceiling, and wired up some lights on the garage doors so when the door is up, the lights on the rafters switch off, and the door lights kick on.



I'll post more details if anyone is interested, the wiring needs some cleanup but I'll do that when I get the garage door insulation started.

I salvaged a mustang II front clip from another chassis and installed it with air bags on a friends 1950 chevy. I also installed a dual mastercylinder and modified the stock steering column to work with the new manual rack. I did the rear in like 2013. Hes giving it to his grandson and wanted it to lay flat.

I broke my T-case and need a replacement if anyone has an 271F that will bolt to a 4r100 tranny? Making a Dana 60 TTB for the red truck and made a master relocator for better shock placement.

I made some fold up attic joist cabinets the other day and finally got one of the drives built. The proof of concept works pretty well, I want to get a better drive gearbox but for a bunch of cheap garage door parts, some bearing pillow blocks, and an awning roller, it holds enough to get my woodworking stuff out of the way. I really need to get some kind of safety catch though because standing under or near it sketches me the hell out even knowing I can hang off the shelf and I am like ~1 Bodj +/- 1/2 Bodj in weight.

okay now that is cool

What application is the brake master relocation for, and have you decided on a retail price? Thanks!
