All the other hammers are on the bench... That one must have been on the floor.
I have never seen that little thing before, his 4 pounder is preferred weapon.

Are you guys making fun of me again?? That hammer in the picture just happened to be the first I found. I did do a quick walk around the shop looking for my favorite 4lb'r, it's probably in the truck. I never did find it but did run across these.

That Estwing Framing Hammer is a fucking weapon. Those are the best hammers, hands down.

Looks like you better order up a wheelie bar kit... and a case of Depends.

New tires showed up yesterday

Old vs new, about the same width 11.75" on the ground.

Starting to get some Man-sized tires I see. We should set them next to one of my 33's, would be interesting to see the difference.

Racing on drag radials is like drifting an import without the control..

Notching the frame for new spring pockets.

[XJHEAD]

Got a little more done.

This is what the stock mount looks like. Large spring with perch on the outside of the frame-rail.

[XJHEAD]

And this is still called stock suspension. lol

[funky_monkey58]

Looks stock to me.

Moving the spring in just gives you room for a bigger tire right?

Yes, that is the only reason why I am doing it. I cannot go to a coil-over.

New shocks finally showed up. Everything for the mini-tub is almost complete. Now I just need to order some new wheels to tuck the tires in some more..

[XJHEAD]

Stripped everything off the bottom of the car and gave it a quick spray. Looks much nicer than flat black.

[DaveH]

Strange shocks this time?

Yep, they were quite a bit cheaper than a set of Afco's.

Mini-tub is almost all complete. Just a little bit of the tubs are showing. I may switch the seat carpet to black. Haven't decided yet, whatcha think?

[Grr]

looks HACK!!
that carpet does look kind of out of place i guess, not that i would care

BTW i was thinking today, how extensive is your fire supression system on that? Just engine bay or multi zone
