Evenin' guys...
Funny thing about coffee in the morning.... I figure it keeps me outa jail...
Yeah, without it, I would probably lose all control and start kicking butt!!!!!
Anyway - a rather toasty day today.. I finished a project for my mom (next post) and helped my brother in-law put a new belt tensioner and AC drive belt in his 02 Silverado.. Took a short nap this afternoon - first for me in about 25 years or so...

Re-purposing a GT40 Roll-bar...
Since I've built a 6 point roll-cage for the GT40, I had the original RCR rollbar just taking up space in the shop.
Mom needed a grab rail to help her transfer safely from her wheelchair to her easy chair. I could not find a commercially available solution that was sufficient.
A little plasma cutting, grinding, sawing, welding and I had transformed the orphaned roll-bar into a Handicap Transfer Assist Rail...
I built a wooden base that bolted to the bottom of the chair. The transfer rail then bolted to that base. In order to tip the rail over, it would require lifting and flipping the chair. Since the chair is a pretty heavy motorized unit, that would be unlikely to happen.
