What the hell is a “Spike wheel”?Spent all day Sat running errands with the wife. She did convince me to buy a new stand for the tv. I've been opposed, but of all places there was one at Hobby Lobby that was 1) On sale, 2) matched out decor pretty well.
Of course no good deed goes unpunished, so I had to cut the back of it out a bit to get the receiver to recess enough so the barn doors on the sides will open and close, but that was quick. But there's no recess under the back so it won't get close to the wall because of the outlet strip. Which I will need to get a longer one so I can put the strip on the 2nd shelf behind the center channel speaker. Jeez....but I digress.
I had to clean house and prep for the Big Game yesterday, so I didn't do anything on the car, except straighten out the garage. I paid off my PP credit bill and my credit card bill. And promptly spent more on both.
I ordered Strange (brand not description) Fox adjustable struts. Will have to sell the used SN95 struts I have.
I ordered a complete stoptech front brake setup from RockAuto...rotors, calipers, caliper brackets, caliper bracket bolts, and pads.
I got on Fastenal and ordered all grade 8 hardware for the K member mount and control arms.
I got some 2K epoxy primer.
I ordered a set of SAE combo wrenches....I've have tons of metric wrenches but only 1 SAE set for some reason.
And I ordered a set of 15x4 Jegs Spike wheels for the front.
As you can see most of this purchase is to do an almost for real mockup of the front end once it's stripped and in primer.
I need to pickup some 1.5" .120 wall DOM tubing to make the braces to the shock towers that will go in from the outside. And I need to pickup my bottle of 75/25 this week. Unless something comes up, I plan on a lot of garage time this weekend.
Is this another one of those times when you southern boys are calling a differential a “chunk”?..or,..the winter hat you put on your head a tobaggan?..Or,...when you go to your mothers‘ family’s house, You’re going over to momenems?
