Holy poo poo I need new pants.

At the risk of breaking the illusion, what does the Cadillac look like at maximum height? Can you 4x4 over curbs?

Holy poo poo I don't think I've ever seen a 30 Ford with its original front fenders. As soon as you pulled the fenders off I was like OH YEAH.

Awesome.

A guy I used to do rallycross with figured out how to slow his cheap-rear end drill press down on the cheap:

It is, uh, not pretty. But dammit if it didn't work.

Adding another vintage TV to the Tome.
1957 RCA RCA 14-S-7052.
It took about 20 capacitors and a new Horizontal output tube to get it working. The Picture tube is weak, but I was able to use the rejuvenation function on my Sencore CR-31a CRT tester to buy a little time until i can find a good CRT. For now it works well enough and is serving well as my back porch TV. A leatherworker from the local Ren Faire is making me a new handle for it.

Bonus back porch action shot taken just after Cleveland won the NBA finals and our curse was broken.

Lobsterboy, sorry for making GBS threads up your thread btw.

How are you getting that TV to work as an actual TV? Do you have some kind of digital OTA adapter for it?

It's a Roku fed into a used cable tv head end modulator tuned to Channel 9 connected to a wire dipole antenna cut to the proper length for the frequency of channel 9 and stapled to my attic trusses. These old cableco modulators put out over a watt of power so I have it turned down just enough to cover my house and yard. I use my iPhone to control the Roku. The whole setup is hidden in a bedroom closet.

I like how much more complicated you've made this than the solution I had in my head.

Congratulations.
