I can't read the sidewall....21x12x? What is the bolt pattern? Where ye be?

This was after I got back to the yard...ye ole "Thunder Bolt Grease Slapper" on the left is mine....who drove that?  Not sure how much it snowed.  But, it was dry why I left.  When I went past it was way different (45min later).  Then, when I came back, after another 45 mim., it was a hockey...

Awhile back, I had a mid-engined Corvair powered rail.  My neighbor had an extra engine and I jumped on it.  It came w/Corvair suspension.  I sold everything else but the suspension. I did a cleaning last week and took 2 Chevy rear axles and the Corvair suspension to scrap.  Me and my son could...

I'm working on "The Animal" (name by the PO's dad who is now gone...).  It has a SA w/bus reduction gears and it will have a Nissan 2.4 Z24 motor (100-125HP). Is is a street-legal  pan-framed desert buggy.  I plan on going to the dunes with it, once or 2x a year.  I would expect the weight to...

I was at the ARC Thrift Store today and they had this....a Klein tool, but for what?  I've never seen one before. Twas $1, but today is 50% off day. Just curious.

I am texting my B-I-L, who is at Buttercup watching the KC-LA game.  He is a big-time Rams fan.  He has a 21" satellite.  I'm switching there on commercials.  The Rams just threw an INT. We are texting about the games progress.   The Cards are on and I'm watching that game. Spaceballs is...

It rained and snowed last night and it is the last weekend of elk season.  We went out and headed for my secret spot....which it seems is not such a secret, based on the headlights that we saw just before we pulled out.  We never got there as we turned back at the stream crossing. Here is what...

I saw this at a local HS football game. Tis a 88-90 Camry.  Wide low.profile wheels on spacers/adapters and a cool gold exhaust that splits at the bumper. Maybe not? What is up w.the tow hook thingy?  Been seeing a bunch of those lately. 

Little Sahara in... Utah?  Oklahoma?

Anybody buy tires from Sam's Club?   In my town we have Big O, Discount, Walmart, Sams and some small independents.  I have a HFt manual machine, so Tirerack is a possibility too....not sure how Id do the balancing. Walmart is a pain, busy and to few workers. Big O is always digging for...

I am working on a street-legal pan-frame rail.    It is a Swing-Axle w/bus reduction gears.  It has what I consider excessive wheel camber.   Is there a rule on how to set the height/axle angle correctly? I have the reduction gears, so I have plenty of height.  I have, briefly read Unsafe at...

I am looking for a Datsun/Nissan Z24 adapter and flywheel to adapt that motor to a Type I VW.  It works for a Z24 and also a Frontier motor. I also think that it is the same adapter to adapt an L series 4 & 6 cylinder motor (1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8), based on what motors are from the...

I stumbled on to a Zenith 32 NDIX carb.  I have searched high and low on the net and I can't find much on them....other than they used to be the hot set-up many moons ago.  But, I really can't find out if they will work by themselves, and if so, on what, and what sort of CFM they can digest.  I...

VW type 1 Single-port engine.  The engine started life as a '66, or thereabouts, 1,500.  No telling what it is not.  It was in a sandrail that I bought I bought.  It has not run in years.  I have not messed w/it at all.   It has a Zenith NDIX PO10 carb, 009 Distributor and 12V Alternator...

I am looking for a SXS or a UTV.  I am just at the beginning stages.  I may look for months, before I get the idea of what I am looking for.   There are quite a few Polaris on the market in my area.  I prefer Jap stuff....and Honda is at the top of my list, although the Yamaha Rhino is on it...

My neighbor is a stock car racer.  His daughter is the fastest one out there (just ask him).  Well, she banged the heck outa one of their Escorts and it is totalled.  He has a 1988cc Ford Zetec motor that I can get in to for cheap.  It also has the accessories...ECM, fuel, etc.   I am not a...

I am working on an old-school street-legal buggy.  It is on a shortened pan.  The front brake hoses are shot and the Master Cylinder is shot also.  It has drums all the way around. I am going to change the rear Wheel Cylinders to 7/8" (stock is 3/4").  I want to increase the braking power on my...

I just got an old-school sand/street car w/a swingaxle trans.  Would there be any advantage to replacing the VW style lugnuts with studs?  Every other car, and trailer that I've had, has had studs.
