My older step brother used toothpaste to fill in BB gun holes one time, he said it worked great, otherwise spackle and that crap works. Just make sure the toothpaste matches the paint

Ok next check your fuel injectors, either replace them or run some Lucas injector cleaner. It would have to do with spark fuel or timing to cause a misfire. i don't know too much about EFI cause my bronco is carbbed but those are basic things to check

>>73001
Check your plugs and wires, and your coil for dirty posts or damaged plugs. I replaced the plugs in my 78 bronco and had one break in half without me knowing. Almost spent the money on a new carb

a modified 300 straight six can have more power/torque than a stock v8. It would take money and time but it's possible, and those fuckers are bulletproof

How do you guys know he wasn't talking about underwear? I mean hell i like my boxers more than whitey tighties... Anyways so mr. mechanic how much would you charge to rebuild my 400m with all new internals and rebuild mt C-6 auto tranny with all new internals? It has a rear main leak i'm pretty sure and i have a choice of just rebuilding the whole fucker or trying to fix the seals....

I have opened bottles with pennies... it was all i really had on hand and i'm too poor to have anything better, woo for bumming drinks off people

Hell just buy yourself an Aluminator with a T-5 manual trans and a transfer case along with a toyota tacoma front drivetrain and there you go. 4WD sand rail

Well this halloween I made a cool looking flaming pumpkin, i bought a small one from the store as a last minute carving and had some 91% rubbing alcohol i was going to use for whatever, so i cut the bottom of a soda can off and stuck that inside then filled it with the alcohol. When i lit it, the flames licked outside of the eyes and created a cool effect. I would have gotten pictures but my camera sucks in low light conditions

Not this guy >>41077 but you could do stuff like adding speakers to the side near your head or the back, and having pockets and little folding shelves for putting stuff on. If your fancy and play computer games you could make a swiveling one that will unfold and swivel into a laptop desk. I think thats about it... OH don't forget cupholders

>>41082
That reminds me of a computer i got once from a friend that had about 1/8th of an inch of dust and smokey ash crap caked on all the internals... gross

>>41018
I'm pretty sure it wasn't MADE to get the pot smell out BUT i will take your word for it

I had my desk for free from a neighbor before i got rid of it and use my lap or some boxes now. HIGH ROLLIN

Well you might try using spray paint, you could also take an old t-shirt that you aren't going to wear and try putting some paint on it to see if it will cause problems. If it doesn't you might need to put some cardboard inside the jumpsuit so the paint doesn't bleed through to the backside. You could try with latex and non latex based paints

Buys some white painters overalls then paint on your blue stripes. Then you can get the size of the stripes however you want

I don't usually do much in terms of controllers but i do play with stereo wiring in my vehicles

>>12805
There should be at least 3 strands of copper wire in each one, you could strip back maybe half an inch on both sides of the wire then fold the copper wire over so there is better connection. then you can buy really small butt connectors, they are usually a reddish pink color

>>12785
Oh i see, well you shouldn't have an issue soldering them together as long as the solder doesn't touch

>>12743
Well if i am reading this right all your trying to do is reconnect all the wires right? One thing you could do is go to the store and buy some butt connectors and crimp the correct wires together, then you can heat shrink them together or you can use black electrical tape

Spray paint?

Someday I will see if this powers up

Maybe buy a Styrofoam head from some craft store and mold it to your liking then make a mold? Then you don't have to worry about cutting your face off

One thing i would do before trying to make some, unless you have done this, is take apart an old pair and figure out the wires and how they go into the jack and tot he speakers and such, then you have an idea how to build it all
