Fap fap fap, they are all finer than frog hair.

 

I believe she could torque your nuts nicely.

 

Only if you're into that sort of thing

 

2 impacts will work even better right? (insert impact wrench sound) bbbbeerrrttttt......bbbeeerrrttttt

And just what the heck does the 2nd pic girl think she is doing?

 

Durn - I got busy with work a few months ago, missed seeing the trail of empties, and got left behind (I think it was the beer in Wisconsin). So I come a long a few months later, finally get logged back on, and lookee what I find. New mechanics!

They should come in handy, since I just added another Ford to the fleet yesterday. A 2005 F150 FX4.

 

Inverted push ups or are they pull ups now? lol I quoted myself.

What did you all do party much this weekend? Where are you all at, hung over and still sleeping? Ah....you are late for work ya know that?

I want this.

 

Tracks would be a nice addition to the tri motor........

 

To much drag when airborne I would say.

 

I concur, but mainly because of your knowledge.

 

All aboard, moving north.

 

Good thing we have good mechanics. Glad I rode the bus... last I saw the Tri-Motor it was kinda crooked... and I think Rich was hanging from a wing...

 

Oh. Hi Minnesota!

 

In fluid dynamics, the drag coefficient (commonly denoted as: cd, cx or cw) is a dimensionless quantity that is used to quantify the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid environment, such as air or water. It is used in the drag equation, where a lower drag coefficient indicates the object will have less aerodynamic or hydrodynamic drag. The drag coefficient is always associated with a particular surface area.[1]

The drag coefficient of any object comprises the effects of the two basic contributors to fluid dynamic drag: skin friction and form drag. The drag coefficient of a lifting airfoil or hydrofoil also includes the effects of lift-induced drag.[2][3] The drag coefficient of a complete structure such as an aircraft also includes the effects of interference drag.

Aircraft....
As noted above, aircraft use their wing area as the reference area when computing , while automobiles (and many other objects) use frontal cross sectional area; thus, coefficients are not directly comparable between these classes of vehicles. In the aerospace industry, the drag coefficient is sometimes expressed in drag counts where 1 drag count = 0.0001 of a Cd

Aircraft type
0.027 Cessna 172/182
0.031 Boeing 747
0.044 F-4 Phantom II (supersonic)
0.048 F-104 Starfighter
0.095 X-15 (Not confirmed
0.OMG..trimotor with trax landing gear (unconfirmed)

So the drag coefficient of a 1980 Ferrari 308 GTB is 5.54, 1993 H1 Hummer 18.06, I looked for a 79 Ford..no joy. But a typical truck is 0.6+

Simple terms "big stuff slows you down". See any one can be smart with Wikipedia...lol And the girls with the impact wrenches have got nice drag coefficient reasons.

Tri motor facts...Ford Trimotor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Year 99-2004

Are you calling Rich a drag queen?

 

And now back to our regular scheduled program, with some examples of what effects the drag coefficient factor of your Ford truck.

I bet ya'll though I was gong to post pics of some big ol drag factors....
