    Has anyone done the $50 Rustoleum Paint Job on their Square???

    I painted my m37 with 4 cases of rustoleum spruce green/ satin spray cans from lowes. She was on the military show circuit for a while and guys never stopped asking me what paint I used and what was the paint code? lol It really is all about the prep work. FYI the m37 was not a trailer queen...

    700R4 Cooler Line Routing

    I just did my 87 r10. Lines take a hard down turn from cooler, jog to the left, and hard close to the bottom right side of 700r4 in clips on pan bolts. I have stock exaust as well. Where are they hitting the headers? Eric

    Header Paint?

    IMHO paint on the headers is a losing battle. Have you considered wrapping them with the white fabric for heat insulation like on chopped scooters? I saw some on the summit site. Eric

    Body/Frame Swap...Talk Me Out of It

    What you are proposing is whole lot of work. Emphasis on work. Any chance of you buying a 4x4 and swapping in your good parts rather than your idea? Just saying. Eric

    87 tbi would not start

    That would be a no on the headers. Heat soaked starter? Meaning it just got hot? I can check the connections easy enough. Solution for starter? Eric

    87 tbi would not start

    So I ran the square down to the UPS store yesterday to send a package. It is about 12 miles. New motor ran great, temps normal. Was inside prolly 15 minutes, came out turned key, no go. Motor labored to turn over like it was hot? Hood up not hot everything seemed normal. Sat in the truck...

    Where to find a upper radiator hose?

    Nice top end! I shop napa as well and if the store does not have it they can get it in a couple days. There are 4 napa stores near me and they are all very different. The one I shop is next to the local Southern states and is the best by far. Eric

    Castor camber on 87 v10

    Thanx for the replies, that's why I asked. My gut said they did not want to mess with it cause it was old. There is a really good spring shop near me that does spring lifts cheaper than you can do itwith a kit. I will call them and see what they have to say. Eric
