New from orileys, should have commercial Accoutant Bundle of ~$100 for 2 rotors and pads

 

Silly question, anyone know of any shops that do welding for rust repair. I need some work done to my Mustang torque boxes/toe boards. I need to cut out the crappy bits and weld in new bits. I had a brief welding lesson a few years ago by a NASCAR exhaust fabricator (he was good, I was not), but I haven’t touched a welder since.

 

Brucker Brothers if you can stand the wait, also

I’m definitely in no hurry, it needs enough mechanical work that it’s a long term thing. The body on it is actually pretty solid, solid enough for a driver once I get the rest of it fixed up. It was sitting for almost 20 years before I bought it last week.

 

That is a pretty car, when do you want to drop it off?

 

This wound be a cool project!
Right now we’re swamped with work for the next few weeks then some family stuff.

If you want to later on it wound be interesting for sure.

 

What do you need made?

 

That is so effing awesome!

 

My hope is to have to rust issues resolved by next spring, so I've got some time.

 

Well if you ever want to unload the 1st gen DCLB so you’re can go down another rabbit hole, just let me know...

 

I think I'd let the lexus go before the DCLB.

I've put a few trips on it with the bed rack and RTT mounted and all it needs is new leafs for the additional lbs I added, I'll call Deaver soon to drop some coin.

 

Put me on the "dibs" list for the Lexus.

 

Finished my retaining wall and have about 2 yards of dirt/rock that I dug up that needs to go. Anybody have recommendations of where I can take it to to get rid of?

 

How big of a wall did you do? We will have a pretty solid hill in the back of our new place. I was wanting to do a nice wall to level it out some, but I guess anything over 2.5 feet requires an engineer and permit (in Lakewood at least).

 

Craigslist or Nextdoor or whatever free section with a 'you load/haul' clause would be my first suggestion. After that if there are any nearby landscape yards, like Pioneer or something (we have two local ones up here in addition to Pioneer which is regional). Denver has a list of resources but it's mostly landfills/dumps: https://www.denvergov.org/content/d...ectory-dropoff-locations.html#!rc-cpage=41151 And the Sedalia landfill might be the closest option for you depending on where you are.

30" inches is a pretty standard magic number that triggers railings and permitted/stamped drawings almost everywhere. Don't let it scare you off. Particularly if you're looking at a standard block wall unit, the suppliers for those can often help with drawings/permits, as could landscaping companies, or a small civil/structural shop. It may add a bit to the cost depending on how high up that chain you have to go and how large the wall is.

 

It’s a ‘68, 289 C4 auto, originally Sunlit Gold, and some kind of Kiwi colored interior, manual everything. Older late 80s restoration. Body has some dings and chips, but is decent driver quality for now. I need to go through everything else, since it’s been sitting for 20 years, suspension rebuild, steering rebuild, brakes, etc. I like doing the mechanical stuff. It’s getting disc brakes front, staying manual, and some suspension upgrades.

Mine’s a two owner car, shows 77k on the odo, but I’m guessing it’s flipped. Engine is a strong runner.

 

Found a lovely little leak last night. Noticed some splatter in the rear fender wells and tracked it to this. Didn't see it on Tuesday when I had the wheels off so it appears to be fresh.
