Yea I was about to say screen capture would definetly be the easiest way. It not more of having the files on hand but more of something to reference if someone needs to look at them.

 

well what kind of stuff are you looking for?

 

I don't think he was, he hasn't been back to let us in on the joke.

 

Besides screen capture you can also export as a .bmp file and then use paint to save it as a .jpg before uploading to the site.

 

well to be for real it made me think of that little groundhog on caddyshack

 

Well one thing I really would be interested in is a cad with dimensions for those cummins motor mounts you made in your thread, but in general anything. I was thinking it could be a thread where you throw your cad on with a description do if people like it they can accurately recreate that piece if they wanted and don't have to go dig through a 77 page build thread to find something.

 

I second that motion.

 

77 pages of text is a very little price to pay for the time and effort a guy takes into designing , drawing , building and testing a product
plus you could always bookmark the page if you liked it

 

Sorry guys - ain't gonna happen.

I should have MADE the guys make a jig/fixture for them when we made the set for Cheeto so I could sell them. Bummed I didn't & will do it if the motor comes back out of the truck, but at this point I hope that won't happen for a while.


And top fuel - thanks. Glad someone gets/appreciates it.

 

I appreciate your thread, I've probably read through it a couple times. The fabrication is outstanding and i wouldnt want to see that behemoth of an engine coming out of that truck again lol.

 

Thanks.

The motor has been in in out more times than I care to admit & I really don't want to do it again. I REALLY should have made sure to make a fixture for the motor mounts before they went back in though... Oh well.

Oh - and I didn't even have cad files for the motor mounts until I made the ones for Cheet-o. I did the originals in old school cad (cardboard aided design). I then put those templates in cad when I made cheetos mounts. I can make & sell pieces for the things but without a fixture to weld them in I couldn't guarantee the "new" ones I'd make would come out exactly like the originals.

 

I am going to come by your place and make some adjustments to your motor. Nothing major just enough that you have to pull it.

 

I know these old fords are tough, but i don't think it could survive the drive from Germany to his house in California lol

 

No but HUMVV's can they break i grab a new one off the truck and keep going.

To add insult to injury the HUMVV is a GMC motor

 

Hope you can hold your breath for a looooooong time during that drive across the bottom of the atlantic.
