1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Reminds me, fuck I meant to message someone to pick up a bed frame and forgot.

Most of that stuff is 1/8" thick angle iron.

 

Dude.

There was a shitbox h2 next to me in traffic, that dude floored it to make a yellow light

I shit you not the passenger tire toed out 20°

I was floored too but noped right out of being next to that

 

H2 owner talking about you on their forum

 

Yeah it does; fucking owner needs to quit procrastinating.

 

Heh the celica is being dailyed with an open header

 

meh sch40 is fine for a beater rig, it's thicker than 1/8 wall tube

 

Oh I'd run it, just meant like it could've been old rusted scrap based on the other materials used elsewhere

 

My normal mechanic was booked out for state inspections so I took it to local dealer...picked it up, no charge, they do it free. I don't know how that's normal but that was a nice little perk. Never walked out of a dealer paying nothing before.

 

haha fair enough

Though some of the steel yards around here will give you shit with surface rust because they store outdoors year round lol

 

Are you running it naked on purpose? Building your own bumper?

 

Nooo I'm talking SCRAP, where you go dump your stuff to get recycled

That's what it looks like they used on the LC.

I'm glad that my source always keeps their stuff "oiled" so buyers get some clean, rust free stuff.

But the cheaper places for sure keep their stuff outdoors, and though you can "pick" from the litter, they do have some surface-rusted shit you'd really need to spend time on with a wire wheel

 

Naked cause it looks better without that overbite of a bumper.

No but the main reason was so I could do some CAD work.

But it's been way too hot to do stuff until recently (overcast) but my back's been killing me.

Got the "main" top and face measured out, as well as the beginning of the wings. Just need to measure and make the wings extend towards the rear of the tires.

 

@Wulf


Make or weld anything recently?

Curious to see how much work you've put on that new welding table of yours.

Ever since I put that big plate on mine, it became a catch-all

 

Hey your departure angle is good haha.
Look forward to seeing what you build for it

 

I haven't built anything with it yet, just run some test beads on scrap

I did build that spare mount for the trailer but that was all on the fly outside lol

 

Fuck yea! Those worked brilliantly, if you pick up a habit of fixing used shit, those sockets will be used more often than you realize lol

 

I've had a set before...though I only used them once long ago.

But that's what happens when you don't use shit for awhile and give it away

 

I've had a shit ton of tools stolen, but I don't think I've ever given any away

 

When you told me that, my heart sank.

Getting your stuff stolen is the worst.

 

Ordered the 4XInnovations spindle kit for my swingout.

Least this way I'm forcing myself to move forward.
