1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

With soder like u it might be different because it melts fast.

But i will melt the top on one end the hole, then bend over the rod and melt the other side on. Repeat for the width of the hole and then just heat it to fuse the rods together and seal the hole. But be careful because to much heat and it will just drip in.

 

I’ll have to do more research then. Southwest and Pacific Seaboard looks like my best bet.

 

Ik where u can get a 3.4 though

 

Oh okay, that's basically what I did, I first put some heat in the part to make sure I wouldn't get a cold joint, doubled over my already thin solder. Laid it on and applied heat to the part again until it filled the gap. I lifted both heat and solder and let it cool.

 

Yup

 

They're coming here next week, I think I'll go on Saturday.

 

Oh I thought you just put the flat parts on it and sealed it lol.

I was thinking it was a big hole lol.

But yeah do it that way or heat and add some around the edge the come of and keep going till u film the hole.

 

Toolbox Update

GM sure knows how to make emblems. That thing feels so solid.

 

I still can’t believe you had a whole drawer for 1 sharpie

 

Those flat bars are already there. I was just filling a hole about the size of a grain of rice.

 

Ah, must be where they’re going next.

The swap meet is super cool.

 

Yeah i see it now. But yeah ive filled some holes that were 1/4” round before. Takes some trial and error to learn how

 

Um, excuse me.

 

Wow finally filling that tool box up

 

4x4 conversion. He has the v6.

 

Oh I thought he meant engine swap in the 97 4 runner for some reason

 

The drawer under the sharpie drawer has a Merc W210 passenger seat switch I never got to installing.

 

I'd say the clock is ticking. The California smog check likely leads to a lot of these cars heading to the junkyard daily. The last time I was at the Redding Pick n Pull in Jan of 2018 it was a sea of Ford Taurus. Chevy Lumina, Pontiac Grand Am/Prix and other big three junk from the 90's

 

I see those drawers are at maximum capacity now

 

You talking about the shithole known as east Gary?
