The "mobile child psychologist" (yeah, really. ) that sometimes comes around drive's a Scion xB with the same sticker. I thought I had a picture of it, but I guess I didn't so I searched and found that substitute instead.

I don't know how I just skimmed over that.

Dinner of champions.

I also like the Tyson chicken cutlets for making sandwiches.

I ate an entire buff chix pizza.

Anthony, I realized that I'm pretty sure I left my angle grinder and wire wheel on your workbench about halfway home, I'll have to remember to get it back next week.

In the mean time, I have a dedicated wire wheel grinder :farmer:

As much as I don't like that guy's Anti-American views, sometimes it is a good show.

He was driving an Atom.

I wanna cut some 3/4" plate with my torch now and make some d-ring tabs for the front.

I wonder if Ross has anymore.

I've seen those before, but wasn't sure what that exact one was. He can be a bit of a jerk, but that just makes 'good' TV.

You have nearly convinced me to buy my own. Buying raw stock and making all your own brackets that way with clean enough cuts in a quick single pass is damn near unheard of any other way.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I want to find a plasma cutter for cheap on craigsfence. Sadly, not in the budget, so I'll keep going with the angle grinder. I'm really glad I use Heleta cutting discs now though, they don't have that wonderful "made in Russia / warning this product is known to the state of california to cause cancer" warning on them that Horrible Freight ones do, and last at least twice as long.

I think they could be super fun. But at $35K+, I'd rather own something that didn't contain a ricer engine.

I don't see how people pay $5+ so a simple bracket from some of these vendors when it takes 5 minutes to cut it out yourself. You also get the exact fit you are looking for and are not forced to put something somewhere else because the bracket couldn't be modified enough and dictated it.

Yup, and as I'm sure I've told you in the past it is NOT something I'm proud of nor would do I do it again.
You know the issues I had with the front one.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I see a press-braked truss cut to fit the housing perfectly that saves hours of time making stencils as a reasonable thing to buy, assuming it doesn't cause problems. Right now I buy brackets when they require crazy curves and angles and stuff, otherwise I grab the nearest cereal/beer box and a new utility knife blade.

If that's what you see from my front axle, you are mistaken.
It was FAR FAR FAR from a perfect fit. It was so warped it took more time to straighten it and repair the bad welds then I care to mention.

Am I happy with the way it turned out? Yes.
Would I take the same route to get there again? No way.

I grab the nearest cereal/beer box and a new utility knife blade.

With exception of the truss, my rear axle side coilover mounts, and a very same number of gussets I picked up for $0.25/ea; I cut every bracket.
Granted, I did have a band saw to use for a lot of them, but they still could have (some were) accomplished with an angle grinder and standard drill press.

oh definitely not... but the promise of such a thing, for the price they sell for, and the amount of time it saves, is something I see as a justifiable choice. When it shows up and is a POS that won't line up or work worth a damn without basically re-creating it yourself, well, hindsight is 20/20

I don't care about the $ vs time argument. This is what gets me.
