Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Yup. But not right now. Still got a mountainous debt to take care of first. But i'm well on my way through that by now. 

When that is done i may attend university. To earn that coveted tweed jacket with elbow patches. 

Smart. Slowly but surely you'll do it professor techswede :P

My old iPhone 5 couldn't last 3 hours. It was terrible. But yeah, that's pretty bad for an 8 month old phone. 

How's the job?

Quite tiring after for walking for roughly 10 hours but other than that its decent. Plus some of the stuff you can handle is brilliant. First day there and in the last hour I had to pick a damn blowjob simulator for someones order ?

I bought something cool.

 

One of my neighbors at the cabin passed away this last summer, and he's had an old Model A in his back trees for 30 years. Well on Saturday his kids came over and said that he'd mentioned that we'd talked about buying the model A a few times. Well They threw out a price which we could not walk away from. So I bought it!

It's really in shockingly good shape for having spent the last 30 years in a tree row.

That's insane. How much was it if you don't mind my asking? Bodies in good condition have been pretty pricey.

A price so low I feel a bit bad about it... They knew it was low, but wanted it out and gone. I paid $500 for it. A quick google search shows them in this condition going for ~$3-4k

Could be seen as fun, might not be, but basically get the day to yourself to walk around and just look at all the different stuff as youre walking between the items you gotta collect. And you dont really speak to anyone which is decent for me and my issues with speaking to others but at the same time makes it pretty boring and you cant listen to music on your phone with earphones as youre working :/

Needs money for car parts :P

What you planning on doing with it? Selling it as is or building one?

I'd love to build it into a street rod, but the reality is that's probably a $40k project to do it right. I dont have an extra $40k around right now.

 

So for the time being I'm going to clean up all the sheet metal and spray it with a weldable primer to keep it from corroding and let it sit inside my pole barn for a while. 

 

I do have a buddy who is super into the 40's Lincoln Zephyrs and has a few extra Flat-Head V12s sitting around. I MIGHT get ambitious and buy one from him for this.

 

Build an engine something like this:

Would never be particularly fast, but it could be very cool.
