    High Profile Vehicles Beware of Low Bridges (video)

    I just don't understand why this town is not doing anything to prevent this, lol. Are they making money on each accident? A simple pipe hanging on 11foot8 height before the actual bridge could alert the drivers and not cause so much damage, to both the vehicle and the drivers (and by "before"...

    2001 E-350 extended WB build

    Floor Insulation started. Closed cell camping foam mat in between the rips; used double-sided carpet tape to hold it in place for now. I know the carpet tape will dry out, but once the polyiso and plywood go on top, it will stay put. I know to insulate the floor is almost impossible. So, this...

    Which Multimeter? (for absolute greenhorn)

    Thanks a bunch everyone! Really appreciate it. I went with "simple", for now. The #1 should arrive Wednesday. It's maybe like batteries or your first car. Just start with something simple/cheap and learn...

    Which Multimeter? (for absolute greenhorn)

    Hey y'all, I have absolutely no clue about electricity and I know multimeters only from TV/youtube. Seriously, I cannot recall ever holding one in my hand. Since I am getting 360W of Solar with probably 2 x 6V batteries, I figured it's time to get a multimeter (to check "things" and "stuff"). I...

    Ford: Spark Plug Socket won't grab!

    I love the Mustang, too. Being from Europe I have only owned stick shifts and I got bored with my Corolla beater with an automatic transmission. Although I think Toyotas are great cars and easy to maintian, my Corolla only got louder when I step down on the gas pedal. So, I thought if stick...

    The floor is almost ready for the subfloor. Before / after: [/URL] My van had running boards. Although they might be comfortable, I just don't like the looks, at all. [/URL] After removal, this is what I find in the door step, on the right and on the left: [/URL] [/URL] Question: Will some...

    where to find Polyiso blue board

    Exactly! One day I was looking for specific paint. The friendly lady checked the inventory via computer and said "no, we ran out of them. you can order them online, though." I kept looking for alternatives and then found three cans of the paint I was looking for.

    1993 Ford Club Wagon (Juanita born again)

    I have the same problem at the exact same spot. The water seems to come in through the rain gutter and it starts slowly filling the roof-lip in the inside, which I can see from inside the van (because my interior is naked). [/URL] I am looking for something 'white', though, to seal it.

    2001 E-350 extended WB build

    Today, I got a 'Serpentine Belt Tool' and a Ford/Motorcraft serpentine belt. My breaker bar didn't fit, i.e. there was not enough space to get it inside the tensioner hole. When I changed the spark plugs, I was able to see in what an ugly state the serpentine belt was. Tons of cracks per inch...

    Ford Transit Cargo: Rear A/C Issues

    Get a Noggle to cool down/heat up the rear. This is basically a hose that you connect to the front vents. It works, is easy to install and to remove. [/URL]

    "Harriette" 2003 Chevy Express 1500 Conversion

    Thanks for the pics! Looks like you guys are making awesome progress! Which foot pump did you get? Regarding the leak. Have a look at this guy. He is a car mechanic and has been using AT-205 Re-Seal for decades. Apparently, it really can stop leaks. I never believed in that kind of stuff and...

    The music video thread

    The White Stripes with "Hardest Button to Button". This is more about the video. Michel Gondry just makes very interesting music videos... maybe I like it because I used to play the drums. [video=youtube]

    At distance Van Buying

    LMTLMT's suggestion is best. Or... I have used an independent company that checks out cars for potential buyers. Cost me around $140 (in NY) if I remember correctly. The guy did check over 100 points and came back with a detailed report, and I ended up not buying the car, and the other time I...
