Projects DRAG SNAKE "Vintage Terror!"

I saw that online. Bake for 2 hours at 200 degrees and shake them up every 10 minutes or so.
I just was not sure how that worked for the beads? Is that 100 percent or the second time around do they have a half life etc. Just unsure. I may purchase a new round of them and attempt to bake the others. The video I saw had them laid out flat on a cookie sheet. For the size of this dryer that would be maybe 10 cookies sheets and 20 hours. Not sure it would be worth the effort...

 

Randall. I have had my system for 20 years. I was always told that when the desiccant turns white in the sight glass to drain them out then spread them out and let them bake in the sun, I use a 3 foot square metal pan I made up. As the moisture evaporates they turn blue again. I reused mine numerous times before replacing. After awhile they start to get kind of powdery and you know its time for new. But when you see the damage moister and oil can do to a new paint job, a couple hundred bucks for desiccant is nothing. Larry

 

Well I got my bill today for the driveshaft. $18.60 per inch! LMAO!
I was running down the invoice and found there was a $50 charge for balancing it.
Exactly how much balancing does it take for 10.75" long shaft? LOL!

 

You could have done that with a screw hose clamp.

 

Not just any hose clamp I'm guessing, gotta have the Cobra logo on it.

 

I said ouch a couple months ago when I had a 71 inch one built , had to be a 4 inch tube and it cost 435.00 . I guess I got a smoking good deal!!! lol Larry

 

Crap Denny, now Randal is going to be looking for clamps with a Corba on them now.

 

Randall I’m sure you got your driveshaft made at the same place in Springfield that I did for my afx car and mine is way longer and cost only $165 with new ujoints installed and it’s 4” diameter sounds like you got “shafted” lmao

Not saying the shop charge is good or bad, but when balancing something, it's the same amount of effort and the same machine whether it's 10" or 6 '... IF they built it right and it's not way off.

 

I know. I am just kidding....just giving someone (Jackson) the opportunity to use the term "shafted"! LOL

 

Got home tonight with all the new correct sized brake lines and fittings. However not a single copper washer in the shop that fit. But instead of just giving up and watching Forged In Fire I decided to do something completley useless!



I took the little embossed MSD topper, carefully ground off the MSD logos and polished it back to the original semi-gloss.

Nice touch, now take some thinner and get rid of the lettering on the wires and look for some black boots.

 

Oh Oh! How about some boots that don't need that beer holder hat

 

James at least they are not hot pink! Oh God I just had an 80's flash back and it HURT! Larry

 

A different color for each cylinder! OUCH!!!

 

I puck every time I see a Taylor wire, worked at that sweat mine back in the day.

 

James my flash back was of a 66 El Camino I redid in the late 90s. Big block, 4 spd . It was Mint green with a black and pink tweed interior and the motor was mint green with ball milled aluminum al over it with hot pink wires ! Even a Chevy deserves better than That!!! lol Larry

 

And lose that piece of blue tape. Good grief!

 

Larry, not sure I would of told that story.

 

So you’re saying you got the shaft?

And Van Halens "I can't drive 55" blasting on the Pioneer Super Tuner.

 

James I said I redid it! When I got done it was Red with a white interior and a proper orange engine. But I did put red MSD wires on it . lol That poor thing cried HELP ME untill all that 80's Miami Vice shit was in the dumpster! Larry . Oh and DDDenny that was Sammy before he joined Van Halen!

 

I may of had the brother to that one, it had a topper sealed to the back window opening and the back full of shag carpet.

 

Missed that, sorry. Had the beer goggles on last night (didn't have Norb to help), these long days of working on little BMC cars, works up a mighty thirst.

 

Yes I have it...lol

Sammy Hagar, but he did a stint with V/H.

 

That looks less painful, well if you were actually getting the shaft.

 

I knew that, what a dork I can be some times

 

Built a pro street 62 Econoline pickup years ago with a 302 and a c6 and I thought it was funny that the shaft was only 18 inch's . Next to yours mine seems kind of MANLY now lol Larry

 

Larry always showing off.
