So for this application heat and wire speeds dont matter much. You are trying to fuse a nut to a 10mm bolt so it will need some heat. I have seen people put a copper washer over the broken bolt to prevent aluminum damage. Since you are dping a v6 honda belt there, I also suggest replacing the...

After getting home from cars and coffee yesterday, I did some more debading and pin stripe removal.fishing line to cut that big f250 badge off and then a quick rinse. Just need to hit the pinstripe areas with a scuff pad and rubbing alcohol to get it perfectly smooth and I will be one step...

Little machine shop sells plenty of parts to upgrade the smaller import lathes. I bought a 5 in chuck and lots of tooling from them for my 7x14 grizzly when I had it. Thought I was buying a larger lathe and sold the grizzly and never replaced it. Still kick myself for that.

Thanks for the info! Today there was a huge cars and coffee put on by the Porsche/ Audi dealer I worked for ages ago. It takes up and entire mall parking lot, wrapping around the mall completely. I dont typically go to these events but was up at 6 and decided to check it out. I took the Acty...

Still slow going on the truck, peeling away on those pin stripes as time allows. I did grab some fishing line and cut off one of my emblems yesterday. Light pressure and letting the line do the work was the key here. I sent an email off last night looking for some progress on my truck camper...

I used Protrade for all my landscape lighting and transformer. I have had really good results from it, but always looking for good options for different types of lights.

I just use mine for Alldata and music since its inline with my lift work station. Not really watching anything on it. I might see if I can find a matte screen on amazon

My shop tv is getting upgraded this week, my only complaint is that it gets a glare from the lights out there. Im wondering if a mount with more angle to it would eliminate the glare?

Congrats to your wife !

Started two projects this morning and actually completed one of them. Half of my wrap showed up yesterday, so I decided to start prepping my truck for wrap. My grandfather had this truck pinstriped to match his camper and the stripes gotta go. I hit it with the eraser wheel and was happy to see...

Mike , the socket trick has been a go to for me for years. Having replaced many of those Honda v6 alternators, that trick was a go to for me.

This white portion of the air valve here has a small tab on top on it which a small rod and spring pass thru. When I removed the recirculation pump and disassembled the original valve I found the tab was broken and it all spilled out of there. I found a second piece and attempted to glue it all...

I certainly dont miss those. The TT always seemed to be the worst to me. I have cursed those to pieces only to come back and it fall right into place. Its not the belt and such as much as the damn engine mount.

Chatgpt doesnt quite get the win but it did point me in the right direction. Last night I pulled the recirculation pump and verified it as good on the bench. There is a valve on top of it that I opened and found the float inside slowly decaying. The small tab on top had broken, so I knew I would...

The CC has blown a headgasket, and the owner wants me to dump some kind of internet voodoo stop leak into it. I told him I wouldnt spend another penny on it but whatever. The dewalt got a workout yesterday. Did pretty good and got most of the yard done before the battery lost charge. I...

I made a jig out of a couple of 2x4s to help straighten out my coiled air line tubing. It's not perfect, but is much improved.

Had a chance to kick back a bit yesterday, and by kick back that meant house projects for my wife. She purchased a new tv for our living room, so while I had some help I got our old tv down and carried upstairs. We took a trip to guitar center and Best Buy since they are next to each other and...

Love the gt350! Same paint scheme my dads 65 coupe has. ***** about the blowout, last one I had ony truck was while pulling a 36ft fifth wheel, managed to get it acroos 3 lanes of I75 and hit a rest area and commence to spending the next 2 hours trying to get it all changed out.

Whats in that black square bag in the next to last pic?

I may need to grab a few more in that case!
