built a intake for my f350 i started with this piece of tubing i had laying around first then i counter suck some nuts in to the tube what i did was i took the nuts with was on the buttom then flipped them


and welded the washer to the tub no the best welds i done but still i kept the slag for getting the the threads so plus for me

then i took a piece of rubber hose cut it to size and using the cdr to clap it down used it like a gasket to seal the cdr to the tube


and here it is on the truck all done

 

Looks good Joe.

Good morning everyone, have a great weekend

 

Happy Saturday Nor Cal FTE and friends. The lettering for the truck came yesterday, so I will make an attempt to put it on today. Pics will follow if I am successful.

Jim

 

Good luck with that James

 

Both trucks made the trip to reno like champs! Mom and dad are taking my 6.0l on to colorado monday and I'm coming home.

 

Sweet. I like that white one.

Here is the results of the lettering attempt.



and the passenger side.



Not good angles I know, but the truck was in my driveway and there is not much room on either side. The passenger side has a couple of wrinkles that are only noticeable from the front looking back, from this angle you can't see them. I also have a larger one (these were 2 inch high letters) for the windshield, but I don't think I can put that one on by myself, so I will have to get a volunteer to help me one of these days. I am thinking I should put some window tint across the top first tho. Looks pretty good if I do say so myself.

Did you use soapy water Jim? Always helps then use a credit card or such plastic to push out bubbles etc. Looks nice.

 

Yes, this time I had a spray bottle of soapy solution, and a bottle of glass cleaner. Also had a window scraper. After letting them dry for an hour, I peeled off the backing. The driver's side was in the sun, and peeled off with no issues, the passengers side was in the shade, and I think it had not gotten totally dry, and that is why the letters peeled up with the backing when I pulled on it. Still from a distance you can't even tell.

Happy Sunday Nor Cal FTE and friends! Hope everyone has a blessed day. I found a package on my porch this morning when I went out to water the few plants I have. It was too long to be a mouse from Hong Kong (I ordered for the computer, not a live mouse LOL) so it has to be the Banners I ordered for GTG's. Looks pretty good from a distance. Up close it is a little blurry, but I am sure that is because they enlarged a design that was originally 3 inches by 5 inches. LOL
