John Stafford • グラビティピンプ

Assholes Garage • グラビティピンプ クソくらえ、俺のやり方でやる Fuck it — I’m doing it my way. Raw builds. Dirty hands. Real shit only. No AI. No fake dopamine polls. No chasing the algo. This shop runs on decades of turning wrenches for customers who actually pay cash because my word still means something. High-dollar rides get the honest work, and the photos come straight out of the bay — grease, sparks and all. If you want polished fantasy car porn, there’s plenty of that elsewhere. Here? We do it raw or we don’t do it at all. Take it or leave it. The cars keep getting built either way. #AssholesGarage #GravityPimp #RealShitOnly

@Triode_in_situ Amen to tight-ass valve timing. This way you can leave a slightly longer dwell and cram in more air and fuel. It's a little noisy, especially if the cam button isn’t set right. The 32 needs that checked, but the owner says no. The owner is always right.

@GravityPimp Amen! I love the timing gear setup at well. Such a good design.

I'm not ignoring anyone right now; I'm fixing a different issue. This '32 Ford with a small block Chevy came in with a drivability issue caused when the young tech may have overtightened the rocker arms (an honest mistake) and bent the pushrods a little. New pushrods are in and I'm adjusting them now. We'll be firing this one up in just a little bit.

@RDog861 No sweat off my brow 🇺🇸🍻

@GravityPimp So do I. I'd love to see the Mullahs and the IRJC taken off the board too.

Breaking: Trump just posted this on Truth Social. My guess is the Iranian government life-expectancy clock is ticking. TICK TOCK!

Assholes Garage – Real Shit You know that story I dropped about the hack shop that unplugged the compressor clutch on the GMC Canyon, told the owner the whole system was fucked, and tried to bend him over the barrel for a fat stack of cash? Well, that same energy just swung on me. Saw a lady in the knitting world doing her thing, figured I’d toss her a quick tag to my friend Harmeet who’s deep in that circle — pure old-school respect, zero agenda, happy little helper shit. Boom. Instant block. No words, no conversation, just the hammer. Funny how that works. I might be a rough concrete asshole who’s been dragged through the wringer, but at least I don’t swing on people for being decent. If that makes me the asshole in her eyes… well, that reflection is on her wall, not mine. Doesn’t change a damn thing. I’m still out here fixing what’s broken the right way, nurturing classics, building a home for Mrs. Stafford, and sleeping good at night. One quick-trigger block ain’t slowing me down. To everybody else who’s ever caught the hammer just for trying to be kind in a cold world: keep swinging anyway. The real ones notice. The fake ones expose themselves every single time. Back to the bay. Gravity Pimp don’t chase. Gravity Pimp don’t fold. 🧶🔧 No hard feelings… just facts.

@QTWIQ You are going to want to seek advice from my friend @HarmeetKDhillon

Mood. Searching crochet 🧶 Also how I crochet wrong. 😑

@RobotPete That is beautiful

Shovel!

@vegasstarfish I live here and haven’t heard of this place. I’m taking my wife this weekend to test it out.

When you visit local Las Vegas small businesses you get the most bang for your buck. Winnie & Ethel’s is just steps from the Fremont Street Experience Downtown and they are known for their .25 cent bottomless coffee and full breakfast under $10. Not only are they affordable but the portions are large, the food is delicious & you get to enjoy a real American diner experience while on vacation. #vegas #lasvegas #vegasstarfish #brunch #travel

@Time4SumAxShun @DorLinder That would be handy for road trips.

@GravityPimp @DorLinder Lmao

Repairing a nail puncture with a screw is diabolical... but do self-sealing rubber screws really work is the ???

@Cappyarmy Everyone likes that kind of action

Army’s new 30mm grenade gun , I hit targets accurately at over 400 meters , it can do past 500 but the shooting range wasn’t long enough . It’s crazy sending a line drive grenade at 680 fps . Kill radius 5m(15 feet) TONS MORE IN VIDEO coming soon

@CuckNorris503 Now is the time to put your bank examiner on speed dial.

Colorado Utah’s Arizona Nevada. After 11 hours Vegas we’re here

@GeraldBall24306 Happy birthday Gerald, go have a great day

Happy birthday to me😎 64 trips around the Sun and still kicking!

@FrankBr05713205 Exactly. Many moons ago, I decided that sleep was more important if I wanted to be great.

@GravityPimp yes, we tend to make less money than the bad ones, but we can sleep better at nights

My God-given talent is fixing cars. I do it because it makes people happy, and this makes me happy. Farmers feed people, which keeps them alive, and this makes farmers happy—so happy that they are willing to pour their lives into producing food, even if they go broke doing it.

@0hour1 I'm not envious, I'm impressed. I tried my hand in the political arena, but competing with guys like you made that a losing proposition. With that said, I invite anyone watching to come over to my page if you want to see sexy classics in the trenches.

I want to thank all my haters today. I am about to have the biggest payout from your greasy fucking tears I have ever seen. So huge in fact, I may buy a Rolex.

@FrankBr05713205 It makes it tough on guys like us who have always had integrity and the desire to be the best.

@GravityPimp Sadly, I too have seen lots of that

@dlsportsnw I have respect for all of the Master Tradesmen

Gonna remove the forms and get paid today. 💲

One of my closest friends is a concrete man. He runs crews for the union. I take care of his Dodge truck and continue to bait him into letting me build a classic for him. He is a very talented man who lays concrete with the best and does amazing work. He likes me because I represent the automotive version of what he does.

@GravityPimp It's kind of an art form.

@FrankBr05713205 Too many guys get hooked on that like crack, and the next thing you know they're unplugging the AC compressor to make a buck.

@GravityPimp That's the way, worrying about book time is a big distraction

I built an 8500 rpm 13:1 compression 454 that was bored .060 over. This was back in the 90s. I could change the valve adjustment by .001 and it would change the overall upper and lower power curve. Fact is with that engine is that I could change the exhaust header tips from 12-18 inches and it would change the power curve. That was a full 3/4 lift cam of course. It was an NHRA Super Pro thing, all love of labor, beers and launches from the line. I’m definitely in the know.

@GravityPimp I have a Boss 351 Cleveland with .600 lift mechanical roller cam in it. 720 degrees of rotation is what it takes to adjust all the valve on my engine. My valves have to be close. I only have .072 of exhaust valve to piston clearance with 3/8 diameter Manley pushrods. So I know!

This engine was missing the timing tab, which is odd. I installed a new one and brought the engine to top dead center on #1. Now I can start adjusting the valves in numerical firing order. I'll set the number 1 valves, then rotate the crank 90 degrees and adjust number 8, continuing until I have turned the crank two full revolutions. At that point all the valves will be adjusted.

@Blackfingers63 Maybe this video of a LS swap will motivate you.

@GravityPimp I’ve had that LM7 for 7 years now, I just can’t bring myself to pull the running 350 that’s in it cause then I know it’ll be out of commission for a long time

Swept the garage then immediately got sawdust everywhere laying out a body dolly with scrap wood

@Blackfingers63 As you know, I am a classics mechanic with a thing for LS upgrades. Total respect, my friend.

@GravityPimp GMC Gentleman Jim special edition. I have a turbo LS swap in the works for it too.
