What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2022]

So part of the work on the red Camaro was an annoying air leak on the front passenger side, also that side required more air to stay at height.

Houston, we have a problem!




These are RideTech shockwaves, the ones that mount using the stock shock location, note to self: make sure GM's bubble gum welds have been gone over if using these. Couple passes with the welder and it's never coming out again.



Before someone says that top one looks cold, there was a good size gap up where those pieces went together, laid the wire in like a prom night date.

Just because it fits, doesn't mean it belongs. That's just shows how half-@ssed engineering nets dumb@ss results. Good fix, but that needs some reinforcement... bolt-ons never really are. Bonus points for using fluxcore.

Getting really tempted to now try this on the Blazer

Still too cold to warrant turning the heater on in the garage to work for a few hours each night after work and I'm still collecting parts so no car progress.

Did solder all the plumbing for the basement shower (there's a reason nobody uses copper sweat fittings for production plumbing anymore, wow what a pain to find and fix leaks) and framed the stub wall. Need to install the concrete board and ceiling drywall next.

And got plenty of models to sell at the expo next weekend in St Louis. This should pay for most of what I want to go upgrade wise in the cutlass this year.

Good spooling weather?

Indeed... all the air mass.

Turn those screws down! Thing looks like a monster truck. Just make sure you keep a little rake, front will bottom out first.

That H&K has seven in the tube, hmmm. Wonder if there is a spacer or sleeve in it that can be removed to increase the count?? Used to be some models came with a spacer or insert that limited how many shells could be loaded into the magazine. Every so often one of the hunting mags would offer a "tip" on what models had this limiter and how to go about extracting it to get a little more mag capacity.

Just now seeing this, that HK Shotgun has no plug or limiter, it's just that short. 20" barrel. 7+1 can get some business handled.
