1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I remember being in love with the AH 3000, Daym they were a lot of fun.

 

Yeah its a hoot to drive. Dad had a whole series of issues with the original engine, so it has a 302 ford, tremec t-5 and a 9" rear. A little scary when you get on it


He spent several years working on the Ozark lock and dam, and really enjoyed driving it down in AR.

 

I can see that would be fun on the winding mounting roads. With the V8, hell that's like an AC Cobra.

 

Yeah it weighs 2400 lbs. No power steering though.

We did a frame off restore on it, still a few things to tie up though, like a finished dashboard.

 

I like my direct injectors like I like my drumsticks. With peanuts. Most of these injectors were leaking.

 

BMW?

 

@BartMaster1234

You got any of them...Cadillac horns left?

 

That reminds me. I need to change the horns on the 99. Hate sounding like a moped. Think I’ll just grab some Tundra horns from a yard.

 

..... so 3rd party decibal readings show extra insulation, whether close foam or legit dynomat, only results in a reduced retaing of (about) 5 decibals. But anecdotal evidence shows it makes a tremendous difference!


I'm a firm believer in the things they make the most difference, are the things you personally directly impact






With this knowledge, I still intend to follow in your shoes and do the same thing with my interior.... only I'm throwing my carpet away and replacing it with vinyl like xtremewlr

 

Someone has to fill that role for you, one way or another

 

@BartMaster1234 that makes 2 of us.... my wife loved your setup so much (4 horn midgrade thing you sell) that I need to buy a second one so I can have one for MY truck since I'm installing the first one you sold me on her car

 

I put caddy horns on the tundra... then put the tundra horns on the corolla... now I feel horny

 

Ive got three bins of them. But my time and motivation to sandblast and paint and manufacture wiring harnesses is zero. Haha.

 

So what will it cost to sand blast and prepare 8 of them? 4 for @xtremewlr and 4 for myself?

 

Yeah I should have measured it beforehand, maybe even a smartphone reading would be good enough.

That said, 5 decibels is a lot. I'd be happy with 1 or 2 dB.

 

Ive got two sets I repainted ready to go. No wires though.

 

Yup

 

And I thought people around here were bad about our roundabout.

We went roundabout crazy.
