That's rad! Literally (RADesigns). I must have not payed much attention in the earlier parts of the build thread. What trans are you running that's a 3 speed? TH400?Because race truck. Let me select a gear and hold it. Also ordered a bead roller to make a fancy center console. Guess we will see how this goes lol

Shock towered were initially cut with a plasma table my dad has. Along with all the other parts lol. I don’t have my own plasma yet so then everything is cut to length with a cut off wheel which blows... debating on getting a cheap amazon or Eastwood plasma till I can afford a hyperthermwow those are clean cuts on the shock towers. How do you cut it so nice?! Shit I have a plasma and I couldn’t do that really nice work man
Also really jealous on the brake! Super nice! I need a full width one like that too.
My dad has a hypertherm 45 he uses for his cnc table and it’s nice I just can’t justify the cost right now. I also found an everlast supercut 51p for 600 bucks. I’ll probably end up with that since it has a 3 year warranty and decent reviews. Thanks though.I have a hypertherm powermax 30air , my first plasma so I don't have much of an opinion on anything else. I also have a harbor freight portable bandsaw that I've used to cut with and it works like a charm.

I also have a big floor band saw I use all the time. There’s just some things a plasma can do that other things can’t.
Horder.It's funny, over the years I've collected a stick welder, a mig box, and a fuckin TIG box. A plasma would complete the collection.
And ya know what?
They all sit in storage because I don't have the power to run them.
I just put 220 in my garage. It was a huge pain. Panel was on the opposite of the house and had to run 4awg wire 120ft through the attic in conduit... needless to say I put in a 70amp sub panel and 2 220 plugs just to be sure I don’t have to go back in the attic for a while.
If was in the same boat. Unfortunately I have a flat roof house and the conduit would look like shit running up and over the house. Instead I switched out the 4 plug to a 3 plug o the dryer and got a 25ft extension cord. Works like a charm.I just put 220 in my garage. It was a huge pain.

My dryer is gas so that wasn’t an option for me. I saved a ton of money running the wires and conduit myself but it was still a huge pain. But did show that the attic had no insulation basically and sprayed some more at the same time haha.If was in the same boat.

I've said it before but it needs saying. Great build man.
My dryer is also gas and that's why I had a 220 outlet just sitting there waiting to be used. Hot? Tell me about it it hit 105 here two days ago.My dryer is gas so that wasn’t an option for me.

Appreciate the kind words haha. Nothing special here. Kind of making shit up as I go and hoping it works out in the end lol. Now if only it would cool off I could actually get back in the garage and finish this thing.
