The rails that came with it a perfect. The rotisserie is junk. Its two engine stands that have angle iron bolted to them. No jacks. It doesn't rotate smoothly or easily. And it has spent enough time outdoors that the vertical tubes have fild with water, froze, and split.
I finally got back on the Valiant. The left side wheel tub is done and ready to be welded in. Then I need to build a trunk support bracket like the other side. Then its on to body work.
Oh how I love wooden power boats! The craftsmanship, the art of the design, and the sound of that old power!
If I had more money than brains I would be a owner for sure!
I use the holders at home and similar set up at work. Granted I use them daily and pretty much know what size socket I'll need befor I start and a quick glance at the bolt confirms right away.
I'll get a pick of my work set up. It's built into the Matco bo. But 100% customizable. It's pretty...
I mostly stream music with the web. Unfortunately the local raido either sucks or sucks with a banjo.
The ability to look up torque specs and parts is a bonus!
The main issue I have is my garage is a steel building and when I insulated it I used steel sheeting on the inside too. I basically built a faraday cage inside a faraday cage.
I only had a couple of hours to play with in the garage today. The mid day was spent celebrating my niece's birthday.
The right tub is welded in. Todat I finished the floor seam and welded in the suport at the top of the arch that attaches to the rear upper seat mount area. All that remains is...
It does. There are two 90° bends and a long sweep in that 200 ft. run. The tighter the seal to the vacuum, the better it works.
It's also surprising quick if the conduit is empty and the seal is tight. When we did it to pull the power lines the bag was at the vacuum in less than 15 seconds.
Friday night after work a buddy stopped by and we ran cat5 out to my garage. It's a 200 foot run under ground from the house to the garage. We "parachuted" a string through the 4" conduit with a walmart bag and my 5h.p. shop vac then pulled the wire through with the string.
It sure is nice to...
Looks like I haven't updated this in a while. Some of that is because I only recently started working on it again.
The right side tub is mostly welded in. A few small welder issues are to blame I guess. The first was a empty gas tank. The second was found after some welding. The torch trigger...
It is true that I literally have thousands of miles of heavy towing with 1/2 ton trucks, I much prefer towing wirh my 3/4 ton. The bigger brakes alone are more than worth it. My 2014 2500 hD Ram crew cab 4x4 is a beast. It pulls and like the trailer isn't there and it carries and pushes my BOSS...
