We have a plasma cnc table. That’s how I cut everything out. Was thinking about selling a knock down kit. See how everything goes, time will tell.

i'm in for two.
You could probably do knock down t1 and t4 gen stands for it as well, as they also are apparently unobtanium these days as well.

I'm gonna hafta build one of those plasma tables RSN...
Godzilla (TD Pak 100XL) doesnt get used enough.
Do need to carve out some Lexus ls430 caliper mounts for my vanagon this weekend.
Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

Fully welded and mocked on car. Have a few changes to make but nothing crazy. That’s all for now.

Those sure do look good. I always think of the Porsche 356 with dual carbs every time I see one mounted in an engine bay.

Related-ish:
Saw someone selling lightweight molded plastic fans for T1s at some other site. Look nice, straight radial fans.
Considering getting one to finish my Corvair-ish setup as they are non directional.

Cant find link at moment... ah, it was seen at that face-thing site where good threads all go to die...

Good idea.

They should make one for Corvairs, could be same one with the vw one cut down a little and different hubs.
Any Corvair with a mag fan needs a new one yesterday, the fins all crack at the roots eventually.

`Ya know, with those straight bladed lightweight fans being non-directional, you could actually use a pair in a look and work-alike og style twincam fan housing.
(if you had unlimited time and money, of course)
