1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Shifter on the Alfa GTV 1750 is like a weird real life photoshop

 

I'd be tempted. There was an article this week on Jalopnik saying that now is the time for Mitsubishi to bring a pickup to the US and I think they're right.
Also it's bullshit we don't get the regular cab Ranger. I'd likely sell my 1st gen for one.

 

Earlier this morning I busted out the TIG welder as well as stick.

Was welding 16 gauge to 1/8" at 70 amps, so yeah I can tell ya that 16 gauge will burn easily. Didn't burn through at all until I ran stick on it but that's only cause 1/8" rods are the smallest I've got.

Ideally 6013 in some 1/16th would've worked so much better.



You can see the undercut as 7018 1/8" runs super nice at 110 amps; I ran this at 75 amps just to keep from going too hot on this piece.

 

Hopefully they do! The current facelift is gross and tranformer-y but im hoping the reel it in on the next generation.

Oh damn, that is a sexy reg cab. I'd probably do the same lol

 

Speaking of, @Abeyancer when were you gonna make me a welding set of cables for on-the-go!

 

That's still damn sexy, I need to get better with stick. Just so much to learn that I know nothing about lol

 

Isuzu DMax would work too

 

Stick is super easy, above is considered completely non-ideal in terms of rod size, base metal thickness, and current to run said rod.

6013 is for thin metals and runs like 6010 but freezes fast.

 

@Ozark_RegCab tons of ppl looking at my ad lol

 

Now I'm looking at reg cab 2nd gens.
That shift boot tho

 

Feel like you'd get $10k easy tbh

 

Could be worse, could be a samurai sword handle or....[insert glow fuck yourself image from FB]

 

This is true.
Had a crusty frame anyway.
I'd have to fly again if I bought another.

 

Fuck, I did say I'd do that. Alright, it's going on the docket. 100% for sure, you'll get em before I move east!

 

Speaking of...Tesla was backed within an inch of my front bumper today just so they could try and park at the front of a street near an exit. They were sticking out into the turn but I guess they felt good about it. They already had a mangled bumper anyway.

 

Yes plz

 

84 years, that’s how long it’s been since Dan’s truck ran.

 

Indiana is where vehicles go to die
