THe NAC Lots-O-BFG KO2 Thread

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

so I can't believe how "true" Carmelo's poop pipe driveshaft came out on the first shot.

"True" being as straight as we could tell with a roll-across-the-table test.

Rear stiffeners, glue or tape?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

MJ was running weird all of about ten minutes today. The best i can describe it is reverse surging, with it ALMOST stalling, then kinda surging and dipping on acceleration.
It also did this weird two second "surge" while at a stop light in drive. Almost felt like the rear springs unloading, fighting the brakes to go forward.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

not going to the car show

the massivemobile is still down (but I just got all my parts from UPS! :party: fixing it sometime next week) and the 96 needs mucho work before it is ready to wheel this weekend.

Stuff I now have waiting to be installed in the massivemobile: tie rod and TREs (turns out my tie rod was in fact bent!), pass side knuckle boot, coolant hoses, full gasket set, brandy-new driver's seat, full filter set, and some stuff I'm forgetting.

Speaking of which, here is the fully welded, braced passenger UCA mount on my new front axle (Rob, I owe you big time, what beer do you prefer for FC Friday evening?)

Tacked in place:

Fully welded:

Adding the piece that goes all the way to the top:

One of the LCA bracket gussets (2 per side of each LCA bracket):


Now... back out to the construction zone to weld the other 7 gussets on! Tomorrow I'll probably end up welding the washers into the trackbar bracket, installing the axle, then welding the 8.25 if I still have time.

EDIT: that's all 3/16 plate

so I can't believe how "true" Carmelo's poop pipe driveshaft came out on the first shot.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Hahaha yep that's the one Keith, figured I'd pass em on to the next NAC owner.

Colin - yeah probably some of the cleanest welds I've ever done, only thing I'm really worried about is penetration/HAZ and they appear to be melting in pretty well, and are way better than the ones that held my pass LCA together for over a year, so I'm not gonna sweat it much.
