It's time to build a journal, I'm building this just to have fun! Take it to the track and beat up on some Honda's. Take it to the show and all the while drive the HELL out of it breaking it and fixing it in between.I lost a bunch of pics of the car so I'm pretty much gonna have to start...
Not sure why you say a nib is more dangerous? no sharp edges to dig into a body line and can't dig into the material + it's faster!Only bad thing I've seen with a Macco job was over spray and heavy orange peel, over spray can be dealt with easy enough with some #00,as for the orange peel not...
I don't think a paint newb should take a razor blade to fresh paint, nib files are cheap and so much safer! I remember when all I would use is a razor but after getting use to the nib file I don't think I will ever use a razor again lol.Spies Hecker is some good stuff for blending and...
Would those be no 6 on that diagram? how many do I need to order? My car is not here at the house with me so I cant go look.Thank's man your a life saver.
Best option would be to go to your local paint supplier and look at the chip's both indoors and outdoors in direct sunlight, or just do a simple search on Google for a general idea on how its gonna look.
Looks like there is some clips or something missing from the bottom of the car? I was gonna strip it with some aluminum and self tapping screws but I don't want to put screws into my floor, any ideas on how the factory setup is?
That is some fine fab work right there!!!If you wanted to get fancy with the tie rod end you could use a cyntrical ball style the the pre-runner guys are using, if interest I could dig up pics for you, Blue Torch fab is in my back yard and has tons of that stuff laying around, the owner owes...
yeah that bumper has caught coons, opossums, armadillos and a few squirrels, so it has some battle damage LOL, Ive got to brace it up and straighten out the aluminum bar bolted to the bottom, light covers are just hangin in there with no bolts, just got done smokin em out, finished painting the...
Still putting it back together, was raining all day today so I snapped some pic's, I got the stang in the shop now so the Talon is on back burner.Here is STUDZILLA, engine that is currently taking up my time.
Sick.I've got a 72 240Z Ive been toying with the idea of going 4G63 power with a T56, I've got to many projects goin on right now.You got some balls for posting this on this this forum, I got ragged pretty hard for just mentioning I owned a gran nat a few years ago, I've got a 99 WS6 build...
Upper broke dead center the other where 6" or so from the weld, he builds allot of the chassis for the outlaw 10.5 guys and a bunch of local stuff, he's pretty good at what he does and isn't afraid to charge for it, cost me 9k for my chassis, cage, mini tub and aluminum panel's.
I havent read the whole thread but using cromo for the control arms might not be a good idea for a street car, on my old Malibu the chassis shop built my car out of cromo and I had a problem with the control arms breaking while driving down the road, broke one upper and two lowers, reason was...
You still live in PCB? Tyndall I suppose being military, if so I would love to cruise down there and check it out, I have yet to meet a fellow DSM'r, you plan going to Spring Fling?
Almost right on, primer color does not matter, your not going to be spraying base on primer, sealer should be tinted the same shade, but his paint supplier should get him set up with the proper materials for the job.Your going to need a big compressor with a desiccant dryer at least, a...
I'm having to retune my setup but I forgot the name of the website that has the "setup for dummies", I had it all saved under my old laptop but I just had to replace it and lost all of my info, and I'm not looking for the ECM Link site or WIKI, I just cant for the life of me remember that darn...
Good god this is getting huge!@DSM-ONSTER, have you put that turbo to use that I sent you yet?Holset power has caused catastrophic failure on transmission number 3 last night :(, to bad the transmission is built as well as the engine in this darn thing
An LS-6 intake should be one of the first upgrade's to do on a LS1, he doe's not need a 90mm TB, well for one it will not fit on that mani, just a stock ported TB will do.If you still belive that the LS6 mani is going to hurt your performance than send me a PM and I will buy it off of you.
LMAO, new build, new turbo alot more power on this 6k rpm anti-lag launch while messing around with a Honduh, I launched head a loud pop and metal flying off of the ground and smacking the bottom of my car and was forced to lift when my clutch pedal hit the floor while tryin to catch second due...
Nah there is a silver lining here my dogbox.com trans has been grinding for a while, so now I have the perfect excuse for the wife to upgrade to a better trans, just not sure who I want to go with this time around, I'm stuck between Jack and Shep.
Nice ride!!! Yes that came from the "Mullet" guy aka Richard of whom you talked so much crap about past and present, keep up your high class attitude, it's gona take you far in life!
What year was the car?SS Body Kit? never herd of that one before, as most of you know know I am a F-Body freak aswell, current F-Body is a 00 SS clone wich runs single digit E.T.'s now, I don't think I could let my Camaro go before the trouble prone DSM.Good luck and have fun getting...
Last year we had a delay on our raise B/C Bush denied the bill...Oh Well.And about him being in a fox hole I don't know, but I was a 15B and had to pull guard and ride convoy, we are soldiers before anything is what I was told, rifle before wrench.
There are proto type cam less engines out there, they don't have any valve train at all, they have electric solenoids where the valves are supposed to be.They have a problem with longevity, when this technology comes out it will be the just plain AWESOME, a camshaft that is constantly...
