1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Yeah I got 76 or old Gulf vibes

 

Looks like it, I'll try to find out which gas station exactly.

 

Got my production number for the car, so its locked in, apparently for a May build, which would be nuts and I don't expect that to be the case, but still...

 

Gettin a mack daddy press huh?? I see them on craigslist once in a while but still like 3-400.

 

Don't necessarily need one, and like Jimmie said, what if I need to replace a pulley or worse?

I'll just go HF for one.

I mean, afterall -

 

I got the $120 one and its good but I would get a bigger one next time do I can drill cases and shit. The stand up is the way to go. Its not cheap at HF though.

 

FWIW I got a modern Craftsman press and for infrequent use its great. I think for a heavy shop with daily use I'd go $$, but its been good so far for my (admittedly) lighter duty uses.

 

Fixed good enough

 

Yeah the cheap ones work fine for me too. I just don't like that I can only press stuff that is like 8" high I think. Otherwise I have to swing the table out and its hard to clamp stuff on the open deck.

 

i've drilled a bunch of 1/4" plate with an 8" craftsman benchtop drill press from the 90s that I bought for $15 at a garage sale, just had to take it easy on the pressure and use enough oil

 

good points

 

Luckily I haven't had to go over 8" but I get that being an issue. (I guess it also depends on what your drilling.)

Mine has pleasantly surprised me.

 

Why not just get some big rx7 injectors in the stock spot or whatever the cool kids used to do

 

This is madness

I like it

 

Still waiting on your bumper pictures

 

Maybe they're lost with the 5 ton photos

 

Oooof
