Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [to Igor] Now that brain that you gave me. Was it Hans Delbruck's? Igor: [pause, then] No. Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Ah! Very good. Would you mind telling me whose brain I DID put in? Igor: Then you won't be angry? Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: I will NOT be angry. Igor: Abby Someone. Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [pause, then] Abby Someone. Abby who? Igor: Abby Normal. Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [pause, then] Abby Normal? Igor: I'm almost sure that was the name. Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [chuckles, then] Are you saying that I put an abnormal brain into a seven and a half foot long, fifty-four inch wide GORILLA? [grabs Igor and starts throttling him] Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Is that what you're telling me? When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Is it just me, or does ALL the German auto advertising seem either condescending as hell (VW), or so pretentious (BMW) & superior (MB) it's sickening? When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Can't watch the idiot box without the remote in my hand, thumb poised over the MUTE button! I make it a game to see how quickly I can figure out WHAT I'm supposed to purchase. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes impossible. Regardless, I haven't willingly listened to a TV commercial in a couple years. BTW, "Free" (yea, RIGHT) credit report.com & Geico rate as the MOST annoying/insulting over-played crap out there, IMHO. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Well, Art is Art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water.

I did that thankless job for almost 9 years on a car board. Been out of it for just over 2 years now & I'm finally starting to relax & enjoy the web. Wouldn't do it again for love nor money!

The axles were done by "Dr. Diff" in Montana. The Dana 30 (front) got a custom spacer for the 3.55 gear set. The rear axles are Yukon, axle bearings are front/inner wheel bearings for 73-80+ Mopar RWD disc brake spindles, & the retainers & shims are custom made. We also have the 2-spd transfer case (I think it's the 229) but instead of vice-grip-shift we have the stock lever which we are told will mount to the floor along side of the stock console like it's supposed to be there. LOL @ your rear story!!!! Weren't you just so lucky...! LOL At least swapping a rear in those is simplified by having the springs over instead of under the axles! The current daily driver suffers from an original plastic valve cover. It doesn't leak TOO BADLY yet, but it is worse than it was 5 years ago! We have a new cast replacement that'll get used on the new engine. Trying NOT to have to replace it in the car as the wiper motor & linkage gets in the way plus it's really REALLY tight in the back. Otherwise it's got an Offy intake, Holley 390, Clifford Tri-Y header (2.25" mandrel bent head pipe, cat/con & turbo muffler), & HEI ignition. Power has increased about 25% over stock, MPG is nearly the same, & it's much more driveable today (after the 1st car-length it's almost FAST & it's effortless on the highway. We raised it only 2"-3", but the suspension is all poly-graphite bushings, sway bars & I made an old pair of Koni display shocks (for a 71 Mercury Marauder) fit the front (rear should be common 68-80 or so Camaro/Nova pieces). Z-28/Trans AM quick ratio P/S box is a bolt-on! I'm not surprised the plexi exploded. It had/has real issues with UV making it brittle. LEXAN® is a better choice, but not by much. Because it's more flexible it needs to be bolted down, but it does have UV inhibitors in it & it can be had with an extra scratch resistant surface (MAR-GUARD®). We've replaced 2 door handles so far (1 inside, 1 outer) & discovered that one of the CJ-7 or early Wrangler soft-top doors used the exact same outer handles, only in black, still available new. Since the new Eagle will be done as a "SPORT" in black & white, the handles will look like they belong there (then ONLY bright trim left on the car will be on the rain gutters & around the rear side windows, & even they may get painted black). Starter is original & works just fine, thank you, even after 150K miles. The only front axles you can get for them today (rebuilt) are 4-cylinder axles. If we can get the parts I'll try rebuilding the originals first. If not, rumor has it that 89-92 Caddy or S-10 axles can be adapted (& are a little longer so they tolerate more lift), but we'll probably just go with custom ($$$$$) ones. Today the new hatch seal goes in & the hatch gets seam sealer. Tomorrow or Saturday the hatch gets installed/adjusted (we have new hinges ) then the window goes in, trim around it installed & it's DONE! Then I'll look at it & see if I can adapt the old Caddy trunk popper I have to the latch. We're going for the "Rallye" style street car style rather than a crawler or bogger style. I've only seen one other in the area regularly (a baby-shit-brown hatch back). When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Damn...! $219 delivered isn't a bad price. I may have to get one for my garage. It'll make checking piston tops for carbon deposits & intake/head port match a super simple procedure! When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Why did I know someone old & wrinkled would trip out over that? "LSD" in automotive tech-speak is Limited Slip Differential. Most commonly known as "a posi (pronounced: pozz-ee)" or "posi-traction" by GM, "Sure-Grip" by Chrysler, "Twin-Grip" by AMC, etc., etc.. "That's sweat you feel coming out of your skin, not blood!

Well, duh! After the general release of Fantasia a few years before, I can really see those two, both tops in their respective fields, collaborating. I can also see where something like this would be a very difficult task, resulting in the project being dormant for so long. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
