sideways_s12I realized I may have missed this but what the fuck is that hangin from the front of your car? I know it's a crused bottle but is the digusting substance inside and why do you have it?

nevermind after having a second glance I realize what it is but it still looks nasty lol

my coolant is mostly water, because i leak coolant and ill i have is water to replace ti with when im gone

wheres the leak from man, fix it, corky dont like to lose fluids.

blah blah. ill get a s13 rad sometime

will a q45 radiator fit? i know of one i pulled and hid atthe yard once

try any radiator, any rad you get is gonna require some custom work, so get one made for a huge engine or something, just measure your existing one with a tape and make sure the height and length are the same or smaller on the new one.

well a q45 is ment to cool a vh45de infinity engine

like i said, just make sure you measure it with a tape to be sure it will fit size wise.

practicing welding, getting a feel from different metal thicknesses, then banging the sculpture up to see how good it holds

made a few mistakes but im getting it down

so much welding wire came with it haha

(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_2996.jpg)

i spent 120, on gloves, welder, mask, tips, all that wire, anti splatter spray bullshit? etc.

wtf is that thing hahah

EternalSwapwtf is that thing hahah

this morning i added the start of supports. my welds suck. they hold though im trying to get better, butt this sheet metal isnt the thickest
most deffinetly entertaining a insulation layer to retain some sort of heat

(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_3003.jpg)

ugh i need sleep or something, im exausted no sleep sucks

will be using the other door on the bottom if it fits, or ill extend the one on there

and the pole across is where ill be hanging shit

the welding is slowly getting easier

and the swivels. hold the door,so i say im doing a decent job

need insulation

IggyEGuananeed insulation

Transformers? haha!
BOXATRON!

yea it will transform into a mustang with machine guns

new plan for door, im going to cut out the right side aka viewing window, and use the other oven door, and MIRROR,the door on the left.

? sounds good?

Lol I like the Retro clock on the oven. Sick project btw.

some more information on the DIY part

heres the stock fan ill be using, this stays internal and is made from metal to withstand heat
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_3007.jpg)

heres some free insulation, from the stock oven i can use

(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_3008.jpg)

here are the heat rails, off the harnes, its as easy as a pos. neg. wire that attaches to them. simple stuff, i have 4, becuase i have a double oven

(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_3009.jpg)

heres the wiring mess, i touch NOTHING, this is literally the top of the old oven, i welded it to the top of my new one

(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_3010.jpg)

that harness, has a sister harness that scrolls down the back of the original oven, dos the same as mine
consists of A powe harness, like any eletrical oven
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_3011.jpg)

and B the wiring to each heat rail, pos. neg. and to a light, which ill use, and to a fan, that i might not use
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_3012.jpg)

looking through a hole, heres my space

(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_3016.jpg)

heres my beefy wooden pallet, i took from my job, ill be putting roller wheels on it
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_3017.jpg)

that wood will get hot, so i must make a pad, i have spread rock, to seperate the wood from the oven
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_3020.jpg)
not recommended, its expensive but i got it for free

and then some tools used

30 dollar drill from hb freight
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_3021.jpg)

20 dollar cut off wheel from hb frieght
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_3019.jpg)

and what do you know a pheumatic 12 dollar cut off wheel for the small stuf, also from hb freight, all work great.

welder being used is a lincoln 100 weldpack, purchased for 120 bucks

That's the most glorious jerry-rigged oven I've ever seen. If it works without spontaneous combustion I will consider it porn.

i scored a ricers tachometer today for 20 bux

(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_3022.jpg)

attempted to de-rice it
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_3025.jpg)
wtf its so big

ill be making my own guage cluster, gas,temp, and tach

Update** put an hour or two into it this morning

heres what i did, i added the other door, and welded them together, and added a 3rd swivel

(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_3026.jpg)
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_3027.jpg)

i also realized how flimsy it was getting with the heavy door
so i bridged the two together with a pipe

(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_3034.jpg)

im buying sheetmetal soon, but i forgot this project is about buying the least i can,

soooo back to milking what i can out of the stock oven...........

(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_3028.jpg)

you know what sucks guys? owning 1 vicegrip.... and trying to weld and hold shit by yourself
FUCK haha

(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_3029.jpg)
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_3030.jpg)

having all those open spaces is +1 will allow me to add insulation before i button it up

speaking of insulation, so far im buying none. im using the stock ovens insulation
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_3031.jpg)

i kept having cutting out issues. kinda sick of it

the second to last clip, you can hear the car die for like 3 seconds and i cant accel...

when's it cutting out? At like highest load right? Can't hit rev limiter, and it only comes back on after 3200 rpm???

EternalSwapwhen's it cutting out? At like highest load right? Can't hit rev limiter, and it only comes back on after 3200 rpm???

David B : nice work on the blue valve cover , mate

lol thanks, i like blue

David Bit depends on which gear im in,
second gear, i can hit 6,000 rpms, and ill keep it there, and tap off the gas keep it there

(watch the video u can hear it)
if i dont do that it cuts off... and doesnt turn back on to like what u said 3200 rpms
but ive had it happen in 5th gear, at 4,500 rpms....

ArroWelcome to the darkside. Where you save 10%.

Mismatched wheels FTL, put the other two on when the $$$ permits, the hoshinos are 80's-tastic

No it's 10% except on fluids and spark plugs and a few other things... lemme read the back of the card here...

Not on R-12 and R134a refrigerant, motor oil, gear oil, transmission fluid, antifreeze, spark plugs, VDP (special orders), and marked-down items.

I've bought a variety of things and everything was 10% off. It even works on the candy and soda and chips and such, which is cool when you want to grab a quick, cheap snack on your break. Unfortunately for me, I drive the truck so I can't take the soda in there (we're only allowed water, no other drinks or any food).

Hmm well might be different state-to-state.

Edit: looked on my receipt, it's 20%. I guess usually I'm buyin a bag of chips so it's hard to tell

haha sweet
