LengerichKA88 1,883 #54 Posted April 5, 2019 I feel much better about our floor now: the floor and tiles are down.... we just haven’t done all the grout, transitions, or trim.... but the floor IS there. Has been since last January 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,895 #55 Posted April 3, 2020 I started playing with exhaust parts to build a stack for “Steve”. Well, Rylee thinks Screamin’ Jimmy needs one too! I grabbed these stainless hand rails at the scrap yard the last time we hauled a car in. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,895 #61 Posted April 4, 2020 I think we have enough exhaust parts to make us a cool stack! We’re going to stick a muffler in there too. 3 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,895 #64 Posted April 4, 2020 The plan is to have Rylee laying a bead of weld on her project by the end of the day. Her mother’s idea I think the muffler is backwards, but I have a feeling it’s still just holes and baffles and should work fine either way. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,895 #67 Posted April 4, 2020 Rylee decided she wants a straight up pipe, slash cut all cool and whatnot. What? No flapper like Daddy? Nope. The cool thing is that we’ll be able to utilize the 3 bolt flange on the stainless pipe to bolt the stack on and remove it as needed for transport, etc. on the exhaust outlet, I played a bit on the lathe while she did some chores and cut a shoulder in a real heavy big washer and pressed it on to the pipe. It’ll be welded on, drilled as needed and some backer nuts added. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,895 #73 Posted April 5, 2020 Side note on my little girl’s beautiful smile above... I as a wise and honest father, I’ve taught my children to “smile like you just farted on your sister!” It really does great making their “try to smile hard” into a genuine smile 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,895 #74 Posted April 5, 2020 A tight fittin’ piece of tubing helped to align the elbow for drilling and bolting. It’s looking pretty good! 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
