Okay so what do you do when you have a screwed up truck bed with a working tailgate? You make a outdoor seat out of it. This is a friend of mine who owns a custom chopper shop, not like OCC but true customs.

[slodave]

Scrotum race?

[svandamme]

[Rick V]

Bwahahahahahahahahaha
His daughter is 17 I think.
The scrotum race is something not to be missed.

[livi]

Morning, boys. Crisp, sunny, winter day here in south of Sweden. Time for the old 3.2 to show her colors. You all know what that means. A ripping 45 mph on the long straights. No holding back. Wooohoo!

[slodave]

48.5.... Come on, do it...

[svandamme]

[svandamme]

In fact it is made of two hollow aluminum frames and a plastic hollow barrier in between, so you get three chambers.
I've worked for a company that made and installed aluminum doors and windows.
They only used Reynaers profiles.
Reynaers makes about the alumuninum profiles (for windows and doors) you can buy.
Also keep in mind that the surface of the frame is a lot less than that of the glass. So K value of the glass pane is more significant than that of the frame.

either way, it should make a serious difference compared to the antique wood/ single pane stuff i have now...
you've seen em G, i'll know when it's freezing outside with those...

[Geronimo '74]

It will make a BIG difference, in insulation and maintenance.

[svandamme]

from what you told me, the wind can shift direction at any time...

[svandamme]

My cat's seem to like the soup

[Rick V]

Got my new seat brackets for the buckets in the truck all fabbed and welded. I have come to the conclusion that I can not weld pretty when I am sober.

[svandamme]

buckets in a truck?

[Rick V]

Yup. Being a manual trans with a dog leg shifter the middle of the seat is a waste of space. Gonna install a console in between the seats

[porsche4life]

Ya... We had an '89 with a stick... That middle seat was worthless... Now that 12v motor was killer... The rest of the truck was uhh... Edgy at best.... You could turn the wheel like a whole turn before the wheels moved... It was well used...


Got the car trailer hooked up to the Strawberry beast... Get up in the morning and load the car on the trailer and go do some autocrossing... Now I need to go get ready for the PCA christmas party tonight....

[the_webbster]

good day gentlemen.
Just back from a run to the border, first load of crap up to the new chalet in sweden, after a 2hr slogfest through christmas shopping at IKEA. One feels slightly more dignant knowing that one is at IKEA for a reason (have a house to fill) rather than using that place for entertainment. a somewhat 'better than though" feeling.

After that we pushed on further into sweden to the closest city where we bought wall and ceiling panelling for 5 rooms as well as wood flooring for 3. the trailer was a little 'tail happy' but we made it back to the house with it still attached to the truck and no casualties.

back home now. day of rest tomorrow and then a 5hr each way trek to a customer up north to do a product knowledge seminar. after that we'll be winding down to christmas!!

I just have a whole house to renovate...
