Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Me and another guy went in together and bought several items. I think I saved about $500-600 alone. I don't have my paper in front of me where I figured up what I saved. Here is the link to Woodward.com

I thought ya'll might enjoy "my day job" link. Just something else to read.

;)

When I worked at the race shop for Mark Gibson. I saw him lay an argon bottle for the welder on it's side and used the curvature of the bottle to form metal on. Use what you got. ;)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

well i dont think i would use the lift ;)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

That's what I do now. Use what ya got. I used a base ball bat to make the shape for this mustang rust repair.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Strodder want to go in halfs on some metal working tools. We can keep it at my place.:lol:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Ok and I have a Bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you. :haha:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Strodder and Dave-- I am located somewhat between you two and would be willing to store any tools at no cost whatsoever to you. A tig welder is the first priority please.
P.S I have a beer fridge in the garage for your use with no extra costs:gi:
Alan -sorry about jacking your thread- Carry on soldier-

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Do you want to buy a bridge also?? :haha:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Ya we need a bridge alittle closer. Do you have anything near the Snake river? :lol:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

You mean you don't have a motorcycle that can jump it. :haha:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Sorry Alan I can't help myself from Thread Jacking. :lol:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Nice work. :metal:

I'm use to it.;)

Got the equipment home and me and Shannon practiced some.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/DSC01988.jpg

My first box.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/DSC01989.jpg

I picked this 16" fan and wiring kit.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...C/DSC01986.jpg

Shannon brought over my new condenser since we traded condensers. It fits great.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Man those are nice, I wish you had those a few months back I needed some help with some patches in my floor, but as other said I just used what I had and they did turn out pretty good.

Keep up the great work Alan it keeps me working on mine.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks Allan. I don't play ball. But I use the bat when ever I can. To form metal that is. :lol:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Looks good Alan, I'll send you my list of stuff I need made so you can practise.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Yeah what are friends for..:lol:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks!! I wish I had them back when I was doing my floors and rockers.

Bring it on. I need your truck also so I can make sure they fit. :lol:

I tried a piece of 18 gauge metal in the 3-1 today. It doesn't like it at all. It wouldn't shear it, but I did get it too bend it.

I made it a point to get something done today. I decided to mount the condenser. I used the old cross braces off the core support for this.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...C/DSC01992.jpg

With a lot of measuring and head scratching I had a plan.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...C/DSC01994.jpg

My first one (drivers side) is not as pretty as my 2nd one.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...C/DSC01995.jpg

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...C/DSC01991.jpg

All done except for paint. I could finally remove my wood blocks. :lol:

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...C/DSC01996.jpg

Looking for ideas of where the drier and lines should go HERE. I think the drier should go right behind the grill on front of the core support. I plan on running the lines thru the frame rail back to the cab.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

dang alan that is clean

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Hey Alan that looks good!! I may need to swing by sometime and use some of those fancy tools to help with my truck! :lol:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan, I did mine so many years ago but I think that I put my dryer on the core support, to the left in that picture above. In the recessed area so that it was hidden by the grill. I made sure that it was not above or below the grill when every thing was mounted. I don't have pictures, it was before digital cameras..lol...

I think when you get your brackets painted up and finished, it will be a very clean way to mount the condensor.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

So Alan how do you like the shrinker\stretcher? I was,am going to buy one some time after xmas and I am trying to find me a tig for cheap LOL so I can play with aluminum at home instead of work. I just purchased me a 48" boxpan brake should be here first of the yr or sooner and I can make some fan shrouds for me and a friend....and??? I like your condenser mount looks slick.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan I'll bring you the cab if i decide to move to SC!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Hey Alan,
haven't been checkn on your progress. I see your buttonin up the little stuff.
What % of completion do you think you've reached? I bet it feels good seein that light at the end.

Some folks can only see a tunnel at the end of all the lights. (;€

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

:thumbs:

Come on over, I might learn something.

That's the location that I was thinking about. BTW Thanks!

I've used the shrinker/stretcher on aluminum so far. When aluminum is stretched it wants top split. I have yet to try it on steel. I bought some 18 gauge and I know the 3-1 doesn't like it. I'll get some smaller gauge metal and try all the tools out. I used aluminum because that's all I had around.

:thumbs:

I'll be here.

I might be 50% done. :haha: The light is very dim at the end of the tunnel. :lol:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan has access to some very sophisticated instrumentation for that....
