Oh you know, just a casual Saturday.

Your work is always impressive. Well done.

Ha lol, it was a Friday fyi.

PS are you going to the DFW TJ/LJ Hot Springs deal?

I made myself a new fuel rail for the 4.7. -8 all the way through with ORB ends and machined threads. All one piece and extra thick. I also made a few for some friends.

Unfortunately, I am not going. My life is driving shuttle on weekends for all my kids sports and other events.

Ha, I get it. I'm in the same boat.

Thoughts on these tailgate hinge designs? Or ideas for other designs? My hinges are broken and rusty and I'm going to replace them with something more my style. Obviously I will church them up a bit more before I cut one. I'm just kicking around designs.

I like the circles version.

something similar to this version but with an equally spaced "seven slot" design

 

[Dieseldaddy]

If the hinges had a slot machines in them one could use a t bolt slid into the slot to attach something vertically between the two hinges. Like a hi lift jack or an axe.

"Work me" says make it a straight bar and save the machining time lol. But normal me likes the truss/structural look of the one with the triangles.

I like that idea. Vertical or horizontal?

 

[Dieseldaddy]

Horizontal slots to hold something vertically.

Horizontal slots to hold something vertically.

You know it's a beast of a machine if it can make a 4 liter look small. Cleaning up this spare block to be a backup just in case. It will be a 4.0 not a stroker, but with forged internals.
