Randiness is awesome.. I ask my Metal man about a shop Capable of bending my rails, I get there and start to tell the owner how the shape of the roof was curved and he say "No problem" we use to have the same exact van and build a roof rack for it so we already have the file (He tell me that is...

I build composite canard airplanes for years and we use "Micro balloons" but as fillers, smaller than sand particles, delighted to touch, impossible to clean if you spill them.. but I do understand the Hollowness" can make a massive difference Taking about Textures and colors, Mate Black...

Sciences Rules.. Great compendium, thank you.. I work for companies like Mountain hardware, trust me making 3 pound four season tents is not easy, materials are a big part of the equation but the real secret is the configuration of the "air pockets", shapes, venturi air exchange's. etc Keep...

I Learn my lesson on the cruiser, to cover my $2000 the dynamat will cost me more, so i use what you are using, is "Practically" the same thing (maybe not s flexible/Playable (A heatgun makes all the difference) or glued, but it works just fine (MY triton is so quiet i need to press the...

Oh men, I'm in Minneapolis and kind of broke this days.. my 7.3 is mostly Okay but my triton 10 as rust all around the bottom, even the doors, bad design if you ask me since the acumuladed dust becomes "Mud" after been in contact with the water )the bottom =under the rear turn signals, has a...

Just for Giggle I install some Dynamat at the bottom of the trany (reason why I know the OEM Shield was totally wet.. I check it a year later and the glue was holding just fine, Maybe a Layer of something like Dynamat (is so freaking Expensive) so is "WATER PROOF" (I aso test that, water those...

First thanks for the effort to try to understand my comboluted incoherent request..i wish i can blame it on the drug but is a life long problem.. yes, exactly what you say, I'm aware the rain gutter has a "drop" like the roof of the house so when the van is not moving the water those not...

Background first... I learn from Polar Bear my land cruiser that the roof/rain gutter contour/shape may look kind of straight but is far from it so I improvise this "Caliper" https://patineto.smugmug.com/Cars/3-out-of-3-the-white-Land-crui/8020-roof-platform/Polar-bear-roof-is-so Current...

Very nicelly Done proper data recollection is the basis of a proper reference template thanks for all the hard work..

Ouray Colorado... Some old obsure old school "Photo studio" Kind baldy never touch a gun before, sadly I had to touch far to many.

I can be playful too.. I'm the one on the left, first gun I held in 20 years

Sorry Mike you are totally right i'm still getting use to the feel of been able to go to fleet farm to buy some screws and coming out with a big old revolver.. Except for switzerland where my father is from (very controlled, very regulated but by law you need to have them and be proficient...
