That looks really good, and a nice writeup! I would prime that lip very well with an etch primer followed by any urethane primer. Then I would use the white all-weather weld-seal to finish it off. You can also tint that weld seal, if you want. There are other things, but weld-seal remains flexible a...

I carry a tape recorder in that little cigarette-sized pocket to the left of the steering wheel. I flick it on when I get pulled over. It has made 3 cops very red when I whip out my recording and demonstrate to the judge how they have lied under oath in their testimony (all were for completely bogus...

Do you have a better picture of the front of that car, all done up? I really want to see what those looks like... My good friends father had a TVR for a real long time... I forget the model (EDIT: 2500M), but if he got up over 100 with the windows open the back window blew out (it was an all fibergl...

open up a terminal (start>programs>accessories>command prompt) and type: ipconfig /flushdns then: ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew Those commands are a bit redundant, but its ok. After you've run that last one, wait a couple seconds, then run: ipconfig /all and look down the list to see if you're b...

You are right, a disseminated approach would be much more efficient.... But ethanol is not the fuel of choice. You can make 60 gallons of refinable hydrocarbons (40 gallons gasoline equivalent) per week of on an average 50'x40' rooftop using low technology algae culture. 200 gal/week is possible wit...

Actually, we currently purchase most of Brazil's surplus. You are confusing a production surplus with a net energy loss due to production, they are two different concepts. The ethanol that Brazil produces still TAKES MORE ENERGY TO MAKE THAN IT YIELDS, meaning it is produced at an energy loss. In ot...

I really don't want to get too involved here because the arguments are a bit rudimentary and scattered, but the way I see it, you've got 4 things to explain before anyone will listen to you: 1. The energy content of ethanol is ~27% less. I don't care if you fart in your gas tank to make up the diffe...

Algae farms that produce directly refinable hydrocarbons are FAR more efficient than even the best ethanol solution. The algae farms I've seen in NM are incredibly productive, but the problem is they rely heavily on electricity to operate their turbines, etc. so their net efficiency is not as high a...

Most of the differences are in the tail section. Refinements to the center differential design and bearing layout, and some differences in the shaft layout (all fairly minor). The synchro design was also revised to give much smoother shifting, but the design is significantly less robust than the pha...

If you haven't heard/discovered it yet, check out motorgeek.com. Very similar to this board in breadth of knowledge and tune to the older models, but a little bit snobbier...
