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.

jgh64pkup · 12-09-2009, 01:04 AM

well i dont think i would use the lift

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.
BEFORE

AFTER

AFTER SOME BONDO AND PRIMER. This is a trial fit before paint.

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

bubba327 · 12-09-2009, 02:09 PM

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

Alan -sorry about jacking your thread- Carry on soldier-

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

I'm use to it.

Got the equipment home and me and Shannon practiced some.

My first box.

I picked this 16" fan and wiring kit.

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

65Custom · 12-10-2009, 01:48 AM

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.

Strodder · 12-10-2009, 12:18 PM

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

ruffrida2005 · 12-10-2009, 07:54 PM

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

Strodder · 12-10-2009, 08:03 PM

Yeah what are friends for..

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

jgh64pkup · 12-12-2009, 10:50 PM

dang alan that is clean

scotts62 · 12-12-2009, 10:52 PM

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

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.

shortbed70 · 12-13-2009, 08:35 PM

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.

ruffrida2005 · 12-13-2009, 10:52 PM

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

Inverter · 12-14-2009, 04:21 AM

Hey Alan,
haven't been checkn on your progress. I see your buttonin up the little stuff.

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.

I might be 50% done.

The light is very dim at the end of the tunnel.

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