Rivers! I am glad to see you back, my friend! I hope you get that hip feeling better soon.

I either need to buy a new welder or go borrow my Dad's Lincoln. He never uses the damn thing anyway. I have a Lincoln stick welder, but I prefer a MIG. I have a couple of little projects that are going to require a welder. One of those just happens to be the core support. What is the best drill bit to use to drill out the factory spot welds?

Just went over to my Buddy's and got a steering column from him (speaking of welding projects) so I can start piecing together an electric steering column. I looked at the one that he had made, and it gave me some ideas that I hadn't thought of. It was interesting to see the placement used for the motor.

 

The only dedicated spot weld drill I have came from Eastwood. I've had it for about 5 years now and it's still going strong. I don't remember ever even sharpening it.

I don't think I've ever seen the motors anywhere but either on the column or directly on the rack. Where was his motor?

 

It is on the column, just closer to the pedals than I thought. But where he put it will allow it to be tucked under the dash better.... you have to move the cruise module to a different location and remove the bracket that holds it.

 

Got this in an email from Haltech today about Nitrous. Starts out very basic but then goes in to how the different solenoids are used in the different systems and how the fuel is metered to the different systems. I enjoyed it and some of you may also.

The people that go for NOS are the same people who go to Maaco for a good paint job. My favorite saying lol.

 

LOL... it definitely makes more power, but unless you've got your motor properly built, you'll be breaking stuff pretty quick. My Buddy sprays, but he built the hell out of it to withstand it.

 

Build life is still too short for my liking. To each their own I guess. I'd have to be knocking down so good cash using it...engines in the dugout ready to go lol.

 

Yeah, LOL... he's single, so he doesn't have anyone to tell him no either, LOL.

 

Yup, there's a time and a place for it. There's also a big difference between spending $500 on a system and spending $5,000 on a system. Same for the $29.95 paint job from Earl Scheib and $2,995+ from a real auto painter. I'd bet that the Fast and Furious movies have accounted for more NOS kits than paint jobs though.

 

That was the movie were they stuffed cameras inside the engines. You see them imploding in real time.

I thought that was pretty cool how they did that.
