PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

@TnShooter

Mercedes R107/SL Class
Built between 1971 -89
Engine choices over the years ran from 2.8L in line six to 5.6L V8.

 

I looked at my spare stock and there is a manufacturer printed on the back of some of them, but it's cut off. It starts with "WEL". It does, however, have a patent number that I can make out. https://patents.google.com/patent/US2363927

The neighbor said that was originally a three season porch and at some point they built the garage and converted the porch into an actual room and put a roof on it. He thought those two things were done in the 70s. The ceiling may be as old as the house, though, which was built in 1957.

Edit: I think it's this stuff: https://vintageplywood.com/products/weldtex-plywood

 

Just typing the same when your edit popped up.

That is way cool, I really like the mid century modern look although it wouldn't work in my house unfortunately.

 

I missed a Symmetry! moment earlier tonight...

 

Gotta sell the truck. How about $4k?

This is, or at least was, a Jeep FC-70. According to the inspection stickers it was last on the road, and thus part of a complete vehicle, in 1995; I saw it from a distance and thought it was a late 1950s Chevy or Ford pickup, then I realized it was clearly a cabover/forward control layout, and and closer inspection revealed it to be Jeep. This cab is located on the front porch of a store in Lambertville, New Jersey...

 

Still worth about $9,500...

 

I saw this sitting on the front patio of a restaurant in New Hope and thought it might be a vintage Daihatsu Midget like the one my friend sent me pics of from a museum in Kowloon (Hong Kong); I parked my truck quite illegally, put on the hazards, and ran to go to take pictures...

 

I honestly have no idea what this thing is, but it's definitely not a Daihatsu, and the green "Zero Emission" sticker on the lower corner of the windshield is one of many clues that it is newer...

 

It has handlebars like a motorcycle or scooter, and even though it seemed to have a tailpipe, the green sticker in the lower left corner of the windshield would indicate that it is electric...?!?! It looks a lot a Bangkok Taxi (Lovingly referred to as a Tuk-Tuk), but it is obviously newer. These things are legal for road use in Asia and Europe, but while they are legal to bring into the USA, they are not legal for road use due to not complying with emissions and safety regulations...

 

Nice

 

Definitely the coolest house in Bucks County during the holidays!

 

Jeep FC 150 (81" wheelbase, 4 cylinder) or FC 170 (103" wheelbase, 6 cylinder)
Built between 1956-64

 

That looks like a lot of work...

 

Three weekends!
