Make sure not to miss post #100 on the previous page!


Attempting to deliver power in a straight line

the red ratchet strap is temporarily retaining the angle of the tail shaft

So my POS 9C1 driver goes from 11MPG around town to a whopping 30+MPG highway.....
@ 365+ NA RWHP
part of the combo is K-Member belly pan and post rear axle belly pan

Looking for free power everywhere I can get it.
By managing all the parasitic losses and frictions

So here we go..

these little babies make the job easy!

When you have the fame tore down and 100% bare
it is super easy to filp it over
might as well break out the tap on the 0.120" wall frame

my pulse elevated when I saw this

previous post we put some M6 x1 threads tapped into the bottom of the frame.

this is what that was all for

ultra light aluminum M6 bolts with button heads make for a nice install

huge percentage of area with smooth air flow

so clean

Back to the basics,

Wheel Bearings and rotors.

Been working my butt off on work / Datsun and some health issues

There is lots of progress to report
New pictures this weekend

 

[ProTools4]

In search of better fabrication speed
I liberated the shop Plasma Cutter from the fab area.

first it needed new tips

then

then it need an extension cord to make it from the plug to the Datsun

whole day side mission getting the plasma working

 

[ProTools4]

Need a hole to install this bolt in
also need an access hole in the Square tube!
since the 4x4" is .120+" thick it is a tough job by hand

Plasma is great.
It is like cutting metal with a Sharpie!
Just draw the line you wish slow and steady.
Using a pipe or tape roll as a template helps

Bamm! We have a Cab installed

 

[96 Black]

Continued "astoundment-ness" at the build. Not much for any of us to retort on 'cept maybe is that tab stout enough to hold a cab on in a calamity....
And stay healthy eh.

 

[ProTools4]

you could pick the car up with them
