1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I looked at the instructions the other day and said "fuck that" but a closer look says it's really not bad compared to the other dumb shit I've attempted

Yea that should be no problem, the only specialty tool they mention that I would get would be the rod seal installation tool.. yes, technically you can do it by hand but you'll get pissed off fast. Here's one I found with a quick Google search.. somewhere else might have one cheaper

That's why I do it

 

I hate working square cut teflon seals onto anything, I always cut them or do something else stupid and scar them. I've started using scarf cut seals in transmissions

 

Dude, scarf cut seals are the shimshamshizzle! We have a cartridge for our hand saw with three landings, and each landing gets a back up ring top and bottom. I probably wouldn't have come back to work here if we didn't use scarf cut back up rings lol

 

Leaf springs showed up, sweet!

 

I just looked


Nope

 

tried swooning there, wowee

yeah I realized that the process of fix/flip shitbox cars under the guise of "making money" was really about trying to externalize my problems instead of trying to fix them.

No more shitboxes for now

 

Customer happy, time for some Mexican food and a nap

 

That’s why I’m doing it the smart way and building it from scratch. I have 4 pieces so far.

Only a couple hundred million more left to go.
