71Gold makes a very nice tubular crossmember. Having both built a custom one, and used his (two separate cars) I highly recommend buying his....
It's been done, there was actually a turbo'd one in Car Craft awhile back. The problem is that the 300 is a truck engine and is significantly...
A couple of game boy games. Once during an engine teardown I pulled a 13mm socket out of the oil pan. Nothing on a 302 uses a 13mm socket....
Looks good. Watch out for that air cleaner though. One bad backfire and that foam will melt and fall into the carb. The guy that decided to put...
Very nice. I've got to take my sewing machine in to get looked at tomorrow if I don't figure it out tonight. Once its functional again I'll...
I think I'm gonna go have another look. Bunting seems like it would be a pain to work with while trying to stretch vinyl over it.
If you figure out what you're going to use for backing let me know. I'm doing mine as soon as I get my sewing machine fixed. I originally was...
I'm with simple man. I always use the largest (highest amp) I can fit in my car. The puny ones that the factory specifies are just taking up...
If you don't like the hammer you're in for a ton of work to change it. That paint has got really good adhesion and a very noticeable texture....
I use an auto darkening, usually turned down to around 9.5. Not from Harbor Freight though. I just can't trust my eyes to HF after all the power...
Same, I've started to alter the way I run the gun, holding it more perpendicular to the seam to allow me to see better. Most of my welding is...
I didn't know that pic was still kicking around. Thats my old car with my homemade crossmember. That was a huge pain. Bought a tubular one from...
Me too. Never MIG welded until I bought a garbage Harbor Freight welder, welded till it broke and picked up one of the new Eastwood welders....
On my list of things to do this weekend. Gonna crawl under the car and take some pics.
Above, spot welded on.
-Welded up all the old seat holes to start with a clean slate -Welded 16ga reinforcement plates to the areas where the seats would mount -At the...
The first step is going to be to get a flapper wheel and take it down to bare metal to see how bad the rust really is. Of course at that point...
Mostly self taught. Learned how to stick weld in high school (in like 2001). Bought an Eastwood MIG and taught myself. The welds aren't always...
I would've liked to do it with two bolts, but with the way I was building it it just wasn't practical. And yeah, I never understood the ones with...
Its going to be satin black with red stripes, just like the bay. My last Mav was a nice bright hugger orange. I want this one to just look flat...
