Nice.

By 90 degree corners. I mean at the transition to the half moon bends.

That one piece gasket is a really good one. Just be sure to put the timing cover on first. Those plastic inserts for the pan make it so you do not need the RTV or weatherstrip adhesive to hold the gasket in place (save them in your tool box for another job they work well). The inserts will hold...

Oh crap I hate to hear this. Happens too often, too friends and family. Hang in there Keith. What a beautiful car. I don't think you will have much trouble selling that one. Great video.

I love it. Nice of you to help a fellow builder out. I've always given away unneeded parts. Unless they were really pricey of course. Its kinda fun to see your parts on another car. I built an early Bronco a few years ago and gave a way a boat load of extra parts. I see a few of those Broncos...

I recieved mine as well. Just awesome. Thank you Ken.

We if were me, I would just put the car up on blocks so you can get access underneath, buy a nice set of 1/4 swivel sockets with long extensions and pull the pan. There may be a bunch of gasket material in there now and you don't want to have an oil leak after all this work requiring you to...

Hey Ken, I'll take the plates. Should I Paypal the $150 to you as well? :) And then I need to stop looking at these parts. Ha Ha....

I get it now. Hertz has always been a quality rent a car company. I have had bad experiences with most other rent car companies. Of the three vehicles you are showing above I would pick the Colorado. Mileage will not be much different that the VW Jetta. At least not enough to be too concerned...

Hi Markus, Your question may be a bit confusing. There really is no reason to rent a pickup truck or 4x4 in July. Most rental car companies don't rent pickups either. There are a few that do but they are typically used for short haul trips. If your set on a pickup most American brand trucks are...

Good call Bill. I recommend Gilmore Car Museum, as well. A great way to spend the day.

Takea look at H's thread. He recommends proper tire size for the GT-R. Starts about post #127. https://www.gt40s.com/threads/h-craft-gt-r-jareds-build.51389/page-7#post-524230

Hi Ken, Do you still have the GT-R fog lights? If so, I'll take them.

The notch at the bottom of the timing cover appears to be a weep hole, so you can tell if the back of the pump is leaking. I don't think it should be filled with JB or sealant. I just seal around the water jackets. There are two additional bolts underneath going through the oil pan and into the...

One step forward, two steps back. Know it all too well. On a positive note you are making amazing headway on your build. And it is turning out awesome!
