How far are you into this thing, labor wise?

 

The exhuast? I dunno $80 or so. The turbo and associated bits, a lot more.

 

This one sounds good through headphones.

Labor

 

None, I do everything... you think I can afford to have projects like this AND pay others to make it happen?

 

How many hours so far, cutting and welding. How much is done. How much work is left.

We all know we're broke, it's why we gather here enabling each other

 

For the exhaust maybe 3hrs of fabrication and mockup so far. I dunno for the whole project, not something I keep tabs on because no one is paying me.

 

Geez everyone here knows labor is free and time isn't real man

 

I mean really though why track what you're doing yourself for yourself... are you going to cut yourself off for going over budget on free labor or for going over time on free labor. I legit don't understand why this question is being asked. If I was paying or being paid it becomes a question worth an answer.

 

Did you see all the vehicles pulled off to the side of the highway every 50 yards or so fishing off the slough on your way to Tillamook?

 

I don't "time" myself but I can recall how many hours into several big jobs I've done.

Not so much for the whole "tracking" but as a reminder later on to say if I'll do it again (which should be faster) or if I should just "buy this prefabbed" sort of thing.

Can recall how many hours @Yota X has shared with me on his many mini-projects on his LS Turbo build.

 

Guess I just do it for my benefit as described above.

 

I'll notice it tomorrow


We've been busy prepping for the trip, taking care of Vaders pet sitting situation. Sitting and waiting to get a rental car right now

 

Exhaust is cheap to have done locally, but I cannot drive the truck currently so while I'm waiting on other parts I'm just doing the bulk of it myself. I'm at the odds and ends portion of this project where there's just little shit to wrap up.

 

Ahh gotcha, thought you were already there.

Never been fishing myself but the number of people spread out across the highway...holy shit.

 

I feel like the last 20 percents of odds and ends ends up taking up like 80 percent of the time to complete projects like that. I'm really curious to see how your truck sounds with the 3" exhaust

 

He has a turbo so...it'll sound sexy

 

This is an easy one for me, I'm willing to do just about anything for myself if it saves some cash because I'm not usually tight on time. And for anyone else wanting the same, the answer is generally no, unless it is close friends and then I tell them it takes however long it takes or turn it down due to lack of time.

 

@Yota X does the Holley support any kind of anti theft? I know the 7.3 guys sometimes have a crank no-start tune to load up

 

nooooo Zane's truck is already too sexy as it is. I can't stand to get any more jealous lol
