Project ideas

I’ve got a 1990 c1500 that needs a new life. Runs good. Recently rebuilt the transmission and rear end. The cabs trashed and the frames bent. It’s been totaled twice. What’s some cheap and easy things I can do with the drive train or chassis?

Wire weld

I have bent this and to bend it back without breaking it I need another weld. I think the move is to hit it from the other side. What’s the best approach to do that?

1981ish xs400

I just got in these carburetors from an 82 xs400. I’m going to try to stretch them but I can’t explain the difference in size between the old ones and the new ones. Was this a standard upgrade for the years?

Job market

Jobs are advertising positions but not hiring. What’s up with that? I’ve gone to school to be an EMT, a truck driver, now I’m going back for nursing. I’ve got a dozen applications out for positions in the fields I mentioned. I wondered if anyone had insight aside from ai reading the applications. Thanks in advance

I just bought this reloading press on eBay. It was an impulse buy. I’ve never reloaded before and I’m overwhelmed. I want to reload 556. What die sets do I need to look at? Do I need a 3 piece set of dies? Does this use a powder hopper?
I think this press also went by Red Head

This is an old tool box I find myself using more than I thought. It’s made from plywood wrapped in metal. It’s using nails for fasteners. I’d like to refinish it. It’s probably close to 100 years old. What can I do to go about doing it? I’d like the feel of new hardware. I’m concerned if I pull these nails, they’ll never go back. I keep quite a bit of weight it.

Are palmettos stainless barrel machined differently than their other barrels? Will their basic stainless upper be more accurate than a comparable upper with a different material barrel?
