Very informative! The wife peeked over my shoulder while I was watching your video, her comment - You're nutz if you don't contact a talent scout to become a leg model, best looking pair she's seen in a long time. I agree!:thumbsup:


Let me know how that shot works for you. I've considered doing the same thing for the last two years but have put it off due to concerns I have around needles near my spinal cord. In my case it's sciatic nerve pain. The arthritic lower vertebrae are stiff and somewhat painful but nothing compared to the sciatic pain.

Ditto on V's legs!


Nothing a good lube job won't cure.;)


You're too kind, thank you. :)
 
Ditto, but I'll also alert you to the fact that this is a local RI band made up of guys that haven't quite let go of the 80's... or the eyeliner...



For added entertainment, pay attention to the guitar solo at around the 2:03 mark, especially the whammy bar-less dive bomb at around 2:15ish :roflmao::roflmao::roflmao: Why not bring the guitar that you used in the studio to the video shoot? Or at least one with a vibrato bar?!?!?


First, nothing wrong with not having gotten over 80s hair metal! I'm wearing eyeliner right now; you won't believe where...

Second, I think the best is the way he has someone off camera operating the wah for him. They are using one of those wireless and ampless setups too. As for the whammy bar, he clearly doesn't need one; he pushed on the neck to achieve the dive bomb.
 
and I’m just old enough to know about drum brakes, and adjusting them by reversing.

does the brake drum need to be rusty? Everyone - off a car - I’ve seen seem to have an attractive rust covering
Nope, no rust necessary. Just not attached to a car. The one I use is from an AMC Gremlin or Pacer. Hitting it is a better use of it than being a part of either of those cars.
 
That isn't entirely fair. The V8 equipped Gremlins were rather zippy.
As an AMC fan, I kinda like those little monsters. Actually, I'm currently building a racecar out of one. It'll look something along these lines when done -

Right now it's just a bare body, and a chassis, both waiting to meet.
