Best advice for any novice welder is start with gas welding. I've used coat hangers as fill rod alot when I had the torches out. Almost any big box home improvement store is going to have a basic welders manual. Very good place to start. Start collecting scrap steel now so you will be ready...

Awesome Possum, I keep a pair of deeps around for alot of things winches power and more. I only use this form of welding when absolutely necessary. I've maybe done it twice in the last 6 yrs. Once just to make $100, and a point when someone said it couldn't be done. The OP I think doesn't...

Two big name flavors for this are Millermatic Passport and Hobart Trek Direct shorting batteries will adversely effect their performance. Keep a pair of deep cycle laying around for this. :driver: edit: I also wanted to say thanks I forgot all about negative rod polarity for that method...

Operation Petty Coat. Carry Grant. I do like green on these things but hey a rattle snake down the side it would look like the Gadsden flag.

Un-cool! 1:1 scale is not right. I'll stick to my G scale. Haven't touch an N for a long time though as a kid I had a decent layout 2x8 with turn loops. I'll admit I tore it up. But what fun for a kid and his dad.

I like the soccer ball. Anybody have a good description of wall construction of these shelters? Seems pretty basic and I was curious about constructing my own panels.

Traded the tandem civi trailer in for a friends single axle to better fit load and save on tolls. 300 mi. trip was no problem the last 50 ft. where I needed to back up to turn around a pain in the but. I am by far one of the better in my family with trailers, boats, toy haulers, work, but that...

Looks good, I would have turned the L channel so it was V'ed to the front. A hoop over the lights might help with the trees. Then it might just catch more. 8)

I have a generator and rectifier that I pulled off of my old M38a1. I'm not sure but I believe it was putting out 12-14 V. The jeep had been converted over. If you wanted to replace that alt.

I personally agree with your design choices. Solid tube as you pointed out is a help when pouring. I would think simple o rings in a slot-relief would be sufficient. And the plug could utilize your hand type butterfly wings. More than likely you could just turn a bushing that was threaded in...

It was most definitely a compliment. But for constructive critique I would add instead of the fixed bend spout a flexable style would be more practical and would make a much easier sealing surface. If it was me I would have made the joint between the spout and the cap threaded so that I...

Close enough to Austria for some major over engineering. Seems the higher the altitude the crazier the German. My mother-in-law is in Graz right now. The area you are is high on my list of places to go back to. fat lady sings

acesneights1: Fill the pipe with clean sand. Heat with flame-less heat gun or place in hot box. I have not tried this but it is recommended around the INTRA-WEB. I have bent electrical conduit this way. Works pretty well once you get the feel. Clean sand provides even heating and keeps it...

Good thoughts but I think I would recommend putting the restored parts back on. Don't underestimate the moral boost it will give. Its going to be hard to get over the hump in about 3 weeks. Then the holidays and cold weather. Excuses start to pile up more than the fixed parts. Even a good...

I guess if its past the seasonal high water mark salvage would rule. If its just flooded then its wrecked. I was looking at bending ABS instead of using fittings seems pretty do-able.

forget the aux lighting on the roof, where was his navigational lights? Good thing the warden wasn't out on the lake.rofl

In time and material. Looks like for your application its a pretty good set up. Now lets see how it works in the sand![thumbzup]

Popcorn at the ready. Good luck, I too can't wait to see the Smurf blue gone. Very jealous you still had the hood numbers.8-)

Very Very nice. Would love to see a snorkel come off that snail. Does your hood have the cut out for it? Was also curious why you went with inter-cooler and not injection, I guess you are planning on driving this at pretty good speed? Seems alot of people that crawl or trail ride that motor...
