Congratulation s!!!!  4 great passes and drove it home is a success any day.  It will be interesting to see how much quicker you get that car running.

Damn, that is an amazing looking shop!!!!  You should be very proud of it once you are done.  How many square feet is it?

I use a torque wrench on all of my vehicles as well when I tighten the lug nuts up to spec.

Wow, now I want to try my 1/4" impact to see if it will do that.  Mine is a Makita and I normally use a 1/2" electric impact gun (Makita as well) to take lug nuts off but now I am wondering if my 1/4" will and if it will, do I have enough adapters to use my 1/2" impact sockets??

Brad,


Don't bother with shingles, do it once and be done, go with steel.  I have steel on my house and on my garage at home.  In the next couple years I will be doing steel on my garage at the cottage, never an issue again.


It is well worth the additional money over asphalt shingles.


Take care,

Who was the original owner?  Maybe one of the local guys knows this car?




Take care,

Back at you. How was your trip home?

Gary,

Trip home was a long wet ride!!!  The rain poured down so hard that at times on the Interstate when the speed limit was 65 I (and most other vehicles) were only going 55 at best.  We didn't have any issues though and made it home so that is the most important part.

General Buick Tech / Re: intercooler fan?

« on: March 14 2015, 07:45:26 AM »

hi all  just curious   should i install the intercooler fan?   I've recently switched from a front mount to a slic

Just out of curiosity, what happened to your front mount???   

Do you need me to talk to James to see if you can "borrow" it back? 

Actually I don't feel the fan does much, if anything since it doesn't have a shroud.  I don't run the fan on my cars.
