Yea, I'd have to order everything myself for that. What I could do is set you up with contacts for the good stuff. The only thing you'll really out is the hydraulic crimper. I could see if they're still offering the crimper I use, it's a steal for what you get. I believe I paid...59 or 89 for it, I'd have to check lol. I can't remember it was awhile ago. But that's all you'll be out is the cost of those. They are 16T crimpers with exceptional dies, I haven't trashed any dies yet and they come with 10 or 12 dies I think. You interested ?

Also, THAT crimper is by no means a cheap crimper. They will crimp profesionally, even better. You've seen my crimps before haven't yuh ? Hang on , I'll dig some up lol. Pics are scattered, found a coupl 1/0 crimps, -

All you would need is supplies, which I would have to order up anyway most likley. The crimper isn't a bad deal, plus you'll have your own when needed. I have cases full of different sized lugs, terminals and terminal blocks...stuffed lol.

Jbrew, thank you so much for the links! That picture where the strands are almost solid is what I remembered when you mentioned you pulled it all back out for your project.

Haven't been back over there since Saturday. Probably going over tomorrow though.

Tried buying an engine stand tonight, but the guy sold it out from under me after we already made an agreement. Pissed me off.

We are going to do the chains and a new pump in it before it gets put back in.

DUDE! That is awesome 2100! To be honest, I don't know how to be a Dad to sons, but I've got 3 daughters, lol..... so I've got a little experience. Daughters are awesome.
