That is the cleanest shop floor I’ve ever seen. I wonder if my wife would like to build a hot rod?

@calirod yeah. I used to have to put the volume level at 100% when editing cause our voices were so quiet. Since getting the mics I don't have to mess with it. Plus your voice is good even if you're not faxing the camera

it's nice when something like this is done ... but why don't you lubricate the metal that moves or on which something moves ... it doesn't matter if there is a grease gun ... but this way you risk damage ... metal dust ... because when it gets into fat, it stays there forever and causes more and more damage, which in the end is so great that everything has to be changed

Hey Alen, nothing is being lubricated since its all only being mocked-up at the moment. Then when all is set in place and no other modifications or fabrication needs to get done, it all comes apart, painted and assembled with all lubricants.

I did not enjoy doing the kingpins on edna when we put in the dropped front axle

I can only imagine…working on them when their “old” is much tougher than brand new stuff 😜

I really like that setup, but $2,200 is pricey.

Indeed…I’ll see if I feel it’s worth it over the bendix front drums brakes on mine 😊

Your hair is lovely, dont get it caught in a rotating tool!

Back in the early 90's I was on Atlanta Fire Engine 19. We caught a call, and it was a guy who had been working on a front wheel drive car. He had the front of the car up on jack stands and the car was in gear and running, with the front wheels off. The guy had very long hair and it was in a ponytail. When we got to the scene, Atlanta PD was standing next to the guy, who was seated in a lawn chair in the back yard, near the car. I asked the cop what was going on. As the cop walked me away from the guy, I noticed the guy was shirtless, smoking a cigarette, drinking from a 2-liter Mt Dew, covered in blood and had his t-shirt wrapped around his head like a turban. The cop stated, "He's been scalped." I said "what?". And the cop repeated himself. I assumed the guy had been attacked and cut in the head. I walked over to the guy and he said, "Save my hair.". He kept repeating it. Then he told me the story. His ponytail got caught in the hub and tore his entire scalp off. I checked the hub and the guy's scalp and hair was wrapped around it. I told our driver to get the trauma shears and cut the scalp off the hub and get a bag of ice from in the house and ice it down. I'm glad I was the only EMT on the engine and I was riding the seat, that hub was gruesome, I'd rather deal with the guy. I got a trauma dressing and took the t-shirt off the guy's head. His entire scalp was gone and the line when through the middle of one ear. His face skin fell down. It took two dressings to wrap his head and then I had to tuck his face back up under the dressing to hold it on. All the guy kept repeating was "Save my hair.". When the ambulance got there, I walked the medic away and told him "The guy's been scalped.". They loaded him and his scalp up and headed to Grady Hospital. Right after our driver handed the bag with the scalp to an ambulance guy, he (our driver) started puking. We went to lock up the house and the back porch and floor from the back door to the phone in the kitchen, was covered in blood. I was writing notes to post on the front and back doors, so the first person getting home would know what happened before they walked in, when a friend of the victim arrived. I told him what happened and the first thing he said was "He loves his hair." The guy's head look like a pizza with the cheese pulled off. When we got back to the firehouse, we sat down to eat lunch. When were just done cooking when we caught the run. We had chili and it looked a lot like the guy's head.

Don’t you need to pack those wheel bearings with grease?

Definitely when we are in final assembly 👍🏽 right now we are mocking everything up then it all gets taken apart, painted then reassembled with all the fluids
