Do you use the rubber band trick to hold the thermostat in the housing? This is my go to move to reduce frustration.

Dusted off my radio flyer wagon so my son can enjoy his first Long Beach hot rod swap Meet.

Toy for my dog. Hope she doesn’t break it 😂

Just to update this thread with results in case anyone else wants to try this. The small compressor cycles with every trigger press on the bender and you can only get about 3-5 degrees bent at a time. You then need to wait a couple minutes to let the compressor build enough pressure to continue...

Thanks for the reply. That's what I needed. Yes it is a air actuated hydraulic ram on a JD2 bender.

Anyone using a smaller air compressor to power their hydraulic tubing bender? My large compressor is not connected yet at the new space and I have a couple of tubing projects that I need to start. I have a small Husky portable compressor (1.5gal tank) that I was thinking about rigging up for a...

That's a bad *** hoodie. (y)

Machined some stuff. Needs another op once the time sert kit arrives.

Pic for reference. No subframes at the time… now it’s much straighter and I even run an empty airbag in the passenger side spring.

Nice combo I can relate to the “best of my abilities at the time” as I’ve also been building my fox over so many years that I cringe at some of my old fab work on it. I think your car can be a consistent low 1.5 60ft setup without being too hard on the parts. And I wonder what the ET difference...

Just read the post about the new PB on motor. That's pretty stout, funny what a small comfort adjustment can do. I'm still dealing with my driver seat "lean" that keeps me from being comfortable when shifting as the car seat rocks on launch pretty badly. . What's the suspension / tire setup that...

More work on the mobile base for the Mill. The whole assembly is very heavy now so time for the wife to help with positioning to finish the final weld passes. Then I have to figure out how to hoist the mill onto the base safely.

Designed and 3D printed some storage solutions for my TIG filler rod to keep it organized.

Evolution chop saw 14” blade will cut 4x4 like butter. It comes with a multi metal blade that works great on mild steel.

Building a mobile base for my home shop CNC Mill. Leveling casters and TIG welded frame.

Picked up a steel cabinet for the shop and refurbished it. It’ll hold my extra bending dies . Not bad for $35 on Facebook marketplace

Couple of aluminum EDM concert speaker carts welded up and ready to go.

That's awesome...both the airbox and the 5.0 in the Miata. Plus you kept the AC and heater intact. Any pics of the rest of the car?

Nice looking pitbull. How big is your swamp cooler and how effective is it for the garage? I'm looking at a portable swamp cooler for my 3 car garage workshop in CA. We are hot and dry, it is supposed to hit 110 this weekend so it should work pretty well I'm hoping.

I do laser marking and most of my friends that work in dealerships and other mechanic type shops weren’t really interested in having their tools labeled because it didn’t seem like an issue because they rarely ever loan tools out and always accounted for their tools after each project. I did...
