See my post above - the rain gutters ARE strong enough, plus you have free access to the trunk.

Do these motors benefit from converting the wet sump to a dry sump?

A Modern Home Flatbed Scanner Should Do The Trick.

I spent my high school years working as a welder with a gas torch but never got to use MIG, TIG and stick welders. So those of you with experience doing body and chassis restoration, please contribute to best equipment, training, videos, etc. It seems that the most ambitious 6'r rust-o-rations need ...

I would think you could can them on a flatbed scanner like an Epson that can do B&W and color negatives. By digitizing them you can blow them up to be usable pages.

My 1984 633 has factory air channels on left and right that direct air to the brakes. Just what you need!
For my car they are 51711822439 (left) and 440 for right
key word search on realoem is air channel

Look in the Gallery for "My Garage Queen" that I posted which shows the basic Thule rack w/o the bike holders. But you get the idea.

Unless he's turned it over and done continuity tests on each circuit, sounds dubious.
Which circuits are not working? What fuses blew? Could it be simple corrosion (are you in a salty area (airborne seaside or road salt?)

I have successfully used Thule racks for years clamped to the rain gutter. Lumber, bikes, canoes, all on the rack. Buy the specialized holders. I carry two bikes with the front fork clamped to the carrier and the front wheel in the trunk. The rubber pieces that go between the clamp and the gutter fa...

Awesome shop, inventory to the ceiling, HD equipment. Really wonderful. I'm a model train guy myself: German Marklin equipment.
Appreciate you sharing your special space....

This is an example of skill and love. It is why the 6'r should not be easily consigned to the crusher after parting out. We need more rust-o-rations.
We have a new section, workshop methods so feel free to add your comments on old vehicle assessment, rust removal, panel shaping and welding.

Here's an interesting site for compressors

Here's the IR site

There are other tabs to their site.

By the size of the horns, I don't think they were models but the real deal...

Time will tell about the future of the Shack!

Could you have a failed hydro boost pressure accumulator?

How about some pictures of your workshop. After the airhorn repair pictures (very impressive work) it must be a metalworkers dream!

1) Explore the tech section 2) do word searches on each problem 3) add vin number and look on realoem for the parts 4) glove box water intrusion could be a number of things including a leak in the windshield seal 5) there should be a manual method to open the sunroof 6) Plastic cover over the dash? ...

What are your thoughts on the ideal compressor?
I've heard that Ingersoll Rand is still high quality. Parts should be widely available and a good distribution and service network. If you have any suggestions for plumbing this in your workshop (Schedule 4 PVC pipe or copper or iron?)

With RS going belly up and only possibly retrenching, they have always had good value on VOMs and DVMs. While not a rugged as Fluke, they are certainly serviceable.
Many can be found on ebay.--Ken

I saw a youtube video recently that identified the differences between the "pro" line which are cro-moly vs the non-pro lines which are typically vanadium (in my mind a softer metal alloy) Also, I've noticed that they now have lifetime warranty on some of their lines, which is similar to t...

The butyl should be good as it will skin over and not collect road crap.

I think it is also whether you need a daily driver that is bulletproof reliable. A high mileage is needy: cash or time or patience or all three. Once you sort out an aging used car, you can get to DD status. Of course, there is always that gem out there that needs nothing but keeps on running..... -...

Ralph to the Rescue....

OOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEE

What color is that?

Very slick...
