[QUOTE=ryanroo;7189932]Thanks! im not sure the mental fatigue of running a 4-40 tap is worth it... haha literally the diameter of a toothpick.
I have a perfectly ruined aftermarket Holley metering block with a broken tap stuck in it sitting at the house right now ![]() |

Re: 72 k20 project
Once again proof that it dosent matter how big the shop is, it's what rolls out the door in the end that matters. Looking good !

Thanks! been sinking some hours in this little bit of fun... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() still deciding on what to do to the end. but, barring the final trim, this is what itll be. the wheel will always be sooty, bedside too im sure. such it is. i still dig the dual exit in front of the tire look. not to mention, really no other option. ![]() |

I'm not actually worried about the heat. It has over two inches of clear space before the wood. The exhaust temp will be relatively cool by the time it gets to the kick up and there is a fair amount of air moving over it going down the road. Time will tell if I am wrong though. |

Re: 72 k20 project
I don't personally care for exhaust exiting through the body. It does look cool on some things, but not for this truck. I had a friend say that the other day while looking it over. I just don't like how it looks when I picture it in my head. If the world were perfect, or I was a better planner I would run a single out the back. As it is, I'm glad I don't have to run a stack. That would be embarrassing... Haha

Re: 72 k20 project

Re: 72 k20 project
Nice work as usual. Are you going to angle cut or keep it square? It's gonna look good either way.

right now i am leaning towards just making a square cut on each staggered so they both stick out the same amount. we'll see i guess. this is one of those things that changes in my head a lot. Quote:

I like the line clamps too. I'm pretty jealous that you get to use your shop for personal use. I work in a machine shop inside a fab shop and can't do that. It's like being a diabetic cake baker.
I may have made some "test pieces" on the water jet... Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: 72 k20 project
I do a lot of it on the bosses generosity. Having the knowledge and know how but not being able to apply it for yourself would be a bit of a pain. I think my boss values the fact that I can operate everything at the shop with productive capacity, but since I don't always do it, off the clock practice is good for the shop too. Either way I'm lucky I get to play with the toys. Word about the ol water cooler is, a big five axis milling center is on its way to our corner of the world. We'll be the only machine that isn't black in four hundred miles with the capacity it has. I don't hold any hopes of getting the keys to that play house, but I can design and have the shop cut it. This might make life hard... Haha. Now that I think of it, it should be able to cut wheels...
