Same, that story about another driver getting pulled over for speeding by the mass environmental police while driving a van full of helmets had me rolling.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

great story from today. I had one of my clients come on the van and tell me "I had to be restrained today" then he proceeded to start punching the windows of the van. 2 staff, a man and woman came to calm him down. He droped the woman first with a punch to the shoulder and bit her arm then kicked the guy square in the stomach and knocked him backwards. It took 4 people to bring him to the floor. less than 5 minutes later he did the same thing and had to be restrained again. after all was said and done he ripped the radio off the center console and broke one of the poles that goes from the floor to the high top. He was fine the whole way home but i drove really fast and told him santa would bring him everything he wanted if he didnt freak out and destroy the van.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

ugh, that reminds me. i still havent called my buddy with the crane/forklift. my bridgeport is still sitting in his garage.
you should get that installed, and then i can come and show you how to run it. and in the process, make stuff for myself. i have crossmember pieces to make. what tooling, if any, do you have?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Billy, why didnt you just kick his ass and keep him in line? youre the captain of the ship, be in control

Anthony, i fully agree. keep bugging me to do it, please!!! i think im gunna ask santa for a static phase convertor. Unfortunetly, i have no tooling:( the wt tool next to colin has a bunch of end mills and a cool hold-down setup and rotatry vises and stuff for sale for good prices.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

my bros '00 xj is stalling out when ever he comes to a complet stop and takes his foot off the gas but it will stay running if he puts it into park and revs the engine. prior to this he said it was whistling when ever he would apply the gas. any one got any ideas?

billy great story
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

there's a clamping/setup thing that's pretty standard. i'll see if i can find one online. you should figure out what mounting system the head has too (collet, the hard clamp thingy... there are a few) i'm guessing it's collets. that will be fine for 99% of the stuff you'll ever need to do on it... it's gonna be a biach to zero the head in... gotta do that before we start cutting anything too. eh i dunno how much use you'd get out of a rotary vise... and what gradients does it have? i would recommend buying tooling for each specific project so that you don't waste $ buying tooling you'll never use but like to stare at. there's a ton of tooling out there...

more reasons you and bill are gunna come over and help me get it going:D pretty much to start with, im gunna buy the standard clamping setup thingy and a couple of basic end mills. that should be all i need to shave the axles and start from there.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

sheep - bet the motor mounts are gone, see if it's got any loose/shorting wires and check if the fuel lines are getting screwed up when the engine heaves?
