    “The 6.9” project thread

    I was at work looking through my 5 gallon bucket of bolts I’ve gathered. Since the majority of my work at the dealer is warranty, I end up replacing a ton of bolts even if there perfectly fine, especially on the engine. The majority of the small fasteners I have left over are black m8 flange...

    In my opinion, it defuels for a reason. You should be perfectly fine.

    Well over the weekend I guess I made a little progress. I moved my 7.3 motor from my house to the shop. So now I’ll be able to tear it down. I figured you guys would like the pictures. I thought my bladder could last the 30 minute drive home from work, until I was about to *** myself. I lasted...

    So I finally got the front clip mounted and the fender liners in. It took me a minute to get the fenders lined up and during the process it became very apparent that ford was not super focused on stuff being straight. The core support was 1/2 taller on one side. The driver fender that I got from...

    So we have a big Miller but it’s set up for thick stuff, 045 wire and it’s pretty hard to dial down for thin ****. I used my little Lincoln. I had .035 wire and had everything turned way down. It works a lot better but not nearly as easy to fine tune as the big one.

    Me too! I think that’s what I’m going to paint it. Too many trucks are black and white. The world needs a little color. I’m happy to see more new cars with bright colors. I think we lost that for a while.

    Finished the firewall. Had to add a little sheet off to one side because it was so thin on that corner. Rattle canned it all black (definitely hit it with a grinder first). Then I finally fully bolted the core support down and pretty much have the fenders mounted permanently. I’m waiting for...

    I cannot weld this thin material to save my life. Oh well. It’ll all be covered by sealant anyways. It’s all together and feels much better.

    Thank you sir. I wish I had a plasma cutter!! LOL I used the torch. We do have one buried in the loft. I’ve been thinking about buying a little one though. Some of the cheaper harbor freight ones supposedly cut through 3/8 like butter.
