Interesting. I do sort of the same when replacing a trans or tq converter,install two 8" bolts in the upper bell housing to the motor.It allows for much better alignment of the trans when re assembling.

Lol and people pay good money for wrenches that are pre bent.. I bought a set of s wrenches for the hard to get spots,but sometimes you need a longer wrench. Heating up and bending a box/open end works.

Cool websight! I have a set of plans for that here. But it's always good to see another set for free.

This reminds me of my cheap seal driver solution. Went to the muffler shop and grabbed a small chunk of appropriate sized pipe when I was stuck,because seal was bigger than all my sockets. Worked just fine,and much cheaper than a seal driver tool kit.

Preheat was gonna build a mini brick furnace and use a torch,wife don't like carparts in the oven much,lol.Sand and buckets I got.Did not think of HF for welding stuff,will take a look thanks!

Yes mig and tig methods. Tig will always give better results,but all I have is a Mig. Tig just isn't in the budget. Wish it were,it's so versatile and results can be stunning. So the link I provided was for a 2lb spool of cast iron Mig wire. $85...not cheap.

Nice!! I sure could use one myself.

Damn! I need some free I beam,lol. Been doing without a press my whole life,but Im sure I'd have a lot less grey if I had one!

Heated floors are the cats azz! RThe best bodyshop I ever worked in was because it had heated floors! Makes it a real pleasure working on your knee's or underneath a car. For me I had to fight to stay awake under the cars. Nice cozy warm floor would lull me off to sleep every time! I guess...

I just love this thread! Every time I'm looking at buying another tool,I come here first to see if anyone has made it and how it turned out. Creativity here is boundless and I see many tools homemade that I NEVER would have thought to tackle. I should take some pics of my home made tools and...

Or plate armour for tanks! Thats a hell of a machine. Another thing I always have to take into account around here;What else is drawing power at the time? It's a lifestyle adjustment,shutting things off or waiting for other things to finish before starting another appliance up. I always make...
