I've had the Lincoln 140 which I traded to someone for some work. I now have a Lincoln 180 ProMIG with the aluminum spool gun. This thing is a...
Bump, updated the posting.
All parts are from my 1951 Ford F1 V8 Flathead Intake (make an offer) Ford carb from the flathead with air cleaner (make offer) Generator from...
picked the block and rotating assy up today. Drilled and tapped the cam retaining bracket holes. Cleaned up some casting areas that were rough,...
I chose to run a standard volume/standard pressure Ford Racing pump. Do you guys recommend any mods to the block, oil passages or anything else...
So, , since I am redoing it all...... Would you guys do a stock replacement oil pump or a high volume pump?
Well, I dropped my block off at the shop yesterday. Dropped the crank, rods, pistons, flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, and balancer off to have...
Looking to get some real world numbers on who has had a cam failure after a rebuild or during/after the break in process. If you did ruin your...
Its a circuit overload protection device built right in the line and will "trip" when overcurrent is present. There are links that burn open or a...
this thing is AWESOME!
Also, many times your school can set you up with some points of contact or companies searching for graduates. Just a thought to find work pretty...
As stated above, neatness.... Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Do one circuit at a time, I like to use masking tape and tape about 3 inches...
Baleigh is nice (from all i have seen/read) but all of their stuff (even scratch and dent) is way out of my price range at this point in time.
Great info, thanks again guys. I will most likely get the Eastwood shrinker/stretcher and make my own brake for my work bench. I have some...
Do you know of something similar that will handle thicker material but isnt huge?
I have been kicking around the idea of doing all my metal fab myself. I have been looking at the Eastwood shrinker/stretcher. I was considering...
I agree with most of what you said, but there is nothing wrong with buying a welder and learning on your own machine. If he decides that he hates...
Sorry, I shouldve said that I bought that welder about 5 years ago. Just goes to show you that they hold value
I bought my buddy a Lincoln 140 MIG in a trade for some labor on my 69 Fastback. (I was not skilled enough to weld a full quarter and he was)...
This is just a spitball idea and Im sure it will take some modding/adapters (maybe there are some out there) What about a C4? That might not get...
Sounds like its all in what your ultimate plan is. If you plan on keeping the bench you will obviously need the shift arm for it. If you later...
It is more but I would say its worth the price for the ease of the job and quality flare.
The inline tube flaring tool (same as eastwood or K tool) works beautifully. In fact, my wife flared her first line. I was in the garage at 22...
The flaring tool and 37 degree die is on the way. I also got a pretty good deal on the AN fittings and SSBC prop valve as well.
Well... after long hours of research and price checking, I bought about 100 bucks worth of AN fittings from autoplicity. even with shipping (most...
Cool. Let us know. I'm weighing out Midwest or Bebops.
I picked up the Eastwood style Single Double flaring tool. I liked the mastercool but there were many more bad reviews with the people who used...
Well Im pretty dead set on the Eastwood or Inline tube style flaring tool (right at 200 bucks) no matter which way I go because I hate the cheapo...
What kind of hydraulic flaring tool are you using? I see them here and there for about 400 bucks, I could attempt to "doctor" the lines on the car...
The thing that is getting me is the fact that most of those flaring tools like the ones i posted the links to advertise being able to flare SS at...
