The House of Heavy Horsepower: The last push is always hardest
http://klvmunz.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-last-push-is-always-hardest.html
The House of Heavy Horsepower. Roll slow and sniff glue. Sunday, June 23, 2013. The last push is always hardest. With all the other shit I have going on in my life, just getting the last 1/3 of the chassis cleaned and prepped was a challenge. That all added up to me finding out that these leafs apparently didn't have the axle locating pin in the same location and the rear end was now forward about 3/4" MORE than originally placed. what this means, dear reader, is that now my driveshaft no longer fit.

The House of Heavy Horsepower: March 2013

The House of Heavy Horsepower. Roll slow and sniff glue. Saturday, March 30, 2013. Heat cycle went very well. Needs at least two more before I can hear it idle. Thanks to all who were in attendance, I had a blast sharing it with ya! Saturday, March 23, 2013. The "K" is for Kook. So it all started with this crazy idea I had. I have a penchant for mandrel bent tubing - especially on street cars. A friend of mine in Atlanta (and also a member of the KLV) shares this passion. Hope you dig it as much as I do.

The House of Heavy Horsepower: November 2014

The House of Heavy Horsepower. Roll slow and sniff glue. Tuesday, November 4, 2014. I really am an Olds guy at heart. I poured my heart, soul and a godawful amount of dough into a '71 Olds Cutlass S once. That car was originally owned by my Gramps. He sold it to me for One US Dollar on my 17th birthday. I started modifying that thing as soon as I got it home. Off came the hub caps. Painted the wheels black. It still had whitewalls and a trunk with two studded snow tires in it! Right around the same time,...

The House of Heavy Horsepower. Roll slow and sniff glue. Thursday, November 29, 2012. There are two ways to take shit apart-. I disassemble. That means taking the appropriate measures for penetrating oil, planning ahead and extraction of parts using elegant techniques and correct tools. Disassembly also employs the advantage of the laws of physics and thermodynamics. Teardowns usually involve an "aw, fuck it" attitude and a cold chisel. Beer is involved in either, tho. Copious amounts. Icky, greasy goop.

The House of Heavy Horsepower. Roll slow and sniff glue. Thursday, May 9, 2013. Alrighty folks. Been awhile since I posted to this here thing, but I have been a busy little beaver. Last I remember, the exhaust was done and I was moving on to the last 1/3 of the chassis. Well, the good news is the progress is under way to change the one legged rear into a bad-assed, side-swaggerin' burnout-able axle! The bad news is that the shackle mounts are waaaay. Turn yer engine stand into an axle stand. It goes wher...

The House of Heavy Horsepower: Some random projects in the hopper
http://klvmunz.blogspot.com/2013/09/some-random-projects-in-hopper.html
The House of Heavy Horsepower. Roll slow and sniff glue. Monday, September 30, 2013. Some random projects in the hopper. First off, the ammeter. Dodges have a weak link. Seems all the juice to and from the battery goes thru the factory ammeter. Over time, with multiple dash removals and what not, one can cause more misery than its worth by having the ammeter wiring go up in smoke. So, reading around, some fellows have taken to sticking el-cheapo voltmeters in place of the ammeter. So thats what I did here.
