So what are you working on that’s NOT your DSM?

[curt-s]

True. I bet it would come down if someone else was making them too.

It very well could. I wouldn't be charging $50USD, that's for sure.

I'm entertaining the possibility of a 3D scanner as well so that I get accurate reproductions.

Well, I ALMOST got the storage building built. I'll finish it today but I got this far yesterday. I have caulking, instant foam and some extra sheet metal screws for seams that would be better with 1 or 2 screws to hold the seams together. It only came with 512 screws
Somehow, I also finished up the shortblock SBC, so now its time to make it a longblock! I am sure glad I had bought all of the major stuff before I retired!

Storage is a must... we run out quickly!

Boy that's always a true statement! TBH, I just want all of the car parts/boxes out of the house but safe from weather. I am only about 10' away from my shop's electrical box and it has a couple open places in it, so the little shed WILL have a light and an electrical outlet. My oldest son will take care of that for me so YAY!
I'll get the trim and doors on today and VIOLA, ALL DONE! I have to give a BIG THANKS to my best friend, Todd. What a big help and good with just about any project. I worked on his GTO so he helped put in 512 screws for me. Win/win.

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

All done except laying the wood floor in and some insulating. Thanks to my best friend and my son!

Im not working on anything cool like you guys but I am staying busy. Trying to get a test scheduled for a master electrical contractor license for the state of California.

Repairing heads for all makes and models. I did a all motor honda and a evo which did a number and torched his head really good. He was able to deform the coolant passage . This was done at a machine shop with a 1970's miller . I forgot to take pics of the all motor head but they really hogged that bad boy out. From what i was 500-600hp all motor I don't know enough about that platform but it was something different.

Doing some work to the procharged Z28! Hoping to finish tuning since the procharger and water meth injection. The talon is waiting to have the motor pulled out and gone through

I wasn't thrilled how the battery was mounted in the clients car(just laying in the spare tire well) so before he picked it up this weekend I decided to make him a new mount. He has the cover to the box at his house.

The trailing arm is the wrong length so I guess this thing is something pretty to look at until it shows up.

I have a few more for you to burn!!!
I worked on the endplay for the retro-roller 400 SBC cam button. I ruined the 1st button, (forgot to recheck my dial indicator the last 2 shaves of the button and got too much end play).
.0040" is quite fine with me!
Fun stuff is getting ready to happen with this motor.

First test lift

I love those compact lifts. In my home garage the ceiling height is 8ft. I can't use a 4 post or 2 post lift with that clearance, but the compact scissor lift is perfect.

Currently getting ready to pour a new drainage gutter. A few years ago the tree service ran over it with a Bobcat. It was cracked anyway. I should have it poured before temps are below freezing nightly. We're sitting a a high of ~60 degrees for the next few days. It should be cured before the 20 degree nights incoming. It's a great workout swinging a sledge. Just have to be careful how much beer I drink

Exactly my situation as well. Right now I'm about 2" from hitting the lights with 1 or 2 locks left but I have 4' of clearance to the bottom of the car which I can comfortably roll around under the car on a stool, SO much easier than laying on my back.

Next spring I plan to cut out a section of the floor and flush mount the lift, I should end up with the same space under the car with the lift maxed out.

Two questions:
1) got a product link?
2) at what points is it contacting the chassis?

Two questions:
1) got a product link?
2) at what points is it contacting the chassis?

1) https://www.capitalautoequipment.com/product/7716lb-double-scissor-car-lift-mrsl77/

*note the link photos aren't accurate, the unit is all black the the control box is fully enclosed(much nicer).

2) It comes with 4 high density rubber blocks that are under the pinch welds.

Being I live in QC and the CAE is in Ontario, I only had to pay GST on it as well, shipping was $390 to my door.

 

[curt-s]

Not a bad price, especially given CAD funds. Out of my reach or willingness but I can definitely see you making a lot of use, for someone who needs to be under/around their car as it's off the ground.
I know that sounds bad, but you get what I mean

 

[jdxnc]

The plan is to be able to drop the motor/trans out from the bottom with one of Boosted Fab's carts, will be a breeze now.
