Guess I should have put the picture on.
Each dolly has two brakes

I have seen some use u or j bolts to lock the 2 together. but I guess welds could be ground off just as easy.
I have 6 more. My thought too if I needed them off just cut the weld.
ive done that before, just a couple good tack welds is all they need

These are made by Beck Herring, former member, ORD employee, and bad influence on me at Blazer Bash for a number of years. (He would say I'm a bad influence on him, so fair trade) My mom used to say the three B's were a bad deal, Beck, Brandon, and Booze. She wasn't and isn't wrong.

Yeah they are nice, but super expensive.
They are the ones that actually gave me this idea
New addition to the shop. Got two bundle of them for free.
4x8 panels going to finish off the top of the walls and the ends of the shop.
Did some work on Saturday.
Now trying to figure out a way to cut the Styrofoam without a saw, way to much of a mess, without a razor knife, same story to much mess., got little white pieces of Styrofoam everywhere outside and some in side too. Have a hobby cutter which does a great nice clean job just takes a long time.
Top off all the side walls are done. The back wall behind the Nova is done. Just have to finish the end walls.

Oh and I still have 8 sheets left as well as the cut pieces
Look up Styrofoam cutting.
You put a steel wire hooked to a battery and it will cut it like butter, fast and clean

So I ended up useing all of the 2in thick sheets, all 24 of them for the walls.
Then got another bunk of 1.5 inch sheets.
The side walls and non door end are done in 2 in.
Above the bay door is done with 1.5 .
So I am thinking that the whole shop is insulated and done.
I also got my signed, by Michael Waltrip, Nascar tire put up.

So been a bit since I have done an update
Got a new driveshaft from Tom Woods, got my old slip yoke as a spare and a whole new one. The new one is 1350 U-joints too.
Front U-joint is a offset one to on the new one to hopefully fix what the old yoke looks like.

Looking for a new pinion nut now also
That one is just clearanced lol
Im running offset joints on my k5 front shaft.
They are doing great, you just cant go fast with them or they vibrate.
Can't get the long spline slip shaft with 1410's. What happens with 1330's and hitting the yoke.
