Finished installing the hot side and revisited the cold side inter-cooler pipes. A simple task, very time consuming. 4 clamps per, but getting the orientation right took time and patience, add some OCD and it was a full adventure. I've done numerous car builds, turbo piping, boots, clamps...

Pulled the tape off the drill press head. I'll take it. Going to let it cure before I complete the reassembly, probably get to it Sat. Installed the HS cold side pipe on the 6.7 dually. It appeared to be so simple, but took me a good bit of time to get everything aligned to my satisfaction. The...

It's amazing how well it fits, not just physically, but style, colors, textures..Two cars from very different eras blended together so well.

@racecougar Worse case of death wobble I ever had was a 97 F350, 1 ton, leaf springs. The track bar bushings were the cause, showed up after a lift was installed. Not worn , just the lift changed the geometry and wear on those bushings. Not sure a Jeep has a track bar on coil springs.. I'm...

Did some assembly work on the drill press. Base, post and table. Tried both base covers, still no preference. Set the table/fence I purchase to take a sneak peak. Short stints in the shop, it's 19 feels like 7. If the pictures ever come through, I'll add them.

A+ work on that clamp.

Used a heated work space at work for some painting for the drill press project. It was going to be on hold here at the house for weeks based on the forecast. Came out as good as I needed it to. The head piece is drying now with the light blue, it will get some navy blue as well. I may do a...

Swapped out the o-ring on the upper radiator hose. Old one was pretty flat. No more leak. Completed some of my best work on the cold side charge pipe. It's just a bandaid, I may need it for one excursion this weekend, I turned the boost/tune down to give it it's best chance of survival. Light...

My "wood shop" is also boat storage, outboard motor repair, diesel truck repair, general automotive repair, metal shop, it's really used for whatever I'm working on. I do a lot of vacuuming/ cleaning and shuffling of equipment (everything is on casters) depending what I am working on. It's...

To cold to be out there, but some how found myself in the shop anyway. I was just going to test two new paint stripping wheels on the drill press..blinked and was sucked into it. The two wheels worked well on the base, not so much on the head unit. I ended up with 60 and 80 grit on an orbital...

Mounted the drill press motor and adapter plate to the factory Craftsman mount for what I believe will be the final time. The splined factory pins where not very secure in Craftsman mount, maybe from the age? or removal/ assembly ? Either way, some steel epoxy putty was added with a small...

Drill press table - I watched a bunch on videos online, looked at pictures. Made a list of features I'd build into mine. Then I came across this one from "Oskool". It has every feature I wanted to incorporate into one I was going to build. I chased the components around, and couldn't build it...

Appears you need a new water pump too :LOL:

Snagged a few tools to assemble a drill press table/ fence I purchased. I watched lots of videos, made a list of features I liked, chased the components down, and then I came across this one from "Oskool" I used some of their clamps and stops previously. It has every feature I planned to...

Went 2-0 today. Drill press motor adapter plate completed and within a tolerance I'll accept without a re-do. Motor is wired, switch works too. It's amazing how much quieter a new $$$ Baldor motor is compared to the old factory Craftsman. I never considered the old one loud either. It went as...

I'll share some more pics once I get it a bit further along. I'm headed to the shop now.

Probably the cleanest "Lincoln Locker" I've ever seen. If you end up in a mechanical locker, Yukon Grizzly Locker has surprisingly decent street manners. I ran one in F350/ 7.3 CCLB on 38s and F350/ BB460 RCLB on 39s. Off road performance as expected/ advertised.

Motor was delivered. Placed it on the table and aligned it to eyeball it, set the pulley on to brainstorm a bit, put the level on it...pretty sure its an easy conversion. The factory vertical adjustment will easily handle the height difference. It should end up sharing the top two bolts, and...

There's a YT video where a machinist went over the top with use and design of one on a mill. It has my attention.. his skills and equipment far exceed mine. I'll link it when I find it.

Hmm, that is something to think about, I typically find myself chasing more light after its setup though, May take some trial and error to see what I prefer. I have no light currently.
