Yeah, you need to upgrade to a water cooled setup. You'll think you died and went to heaven on how nice it is. Mike

Cart is looking nice. Great job. Mike

Looks great. And I agree an 8274 belongs on your old '74 Toyota. That's perfection right there. Mike

Yes. I have the 250-amp Weldcraft WP-20 as well as the CK Worldwide 230-amp FlexLok torch as well. Love that torch for getting into tight spots and around tubes when doing chassis work. Both of my -20 size torches have the super flex 25' leads which I also highly recommend. Mike

Thanks. I don't know if there would be or not but I machined four small Delrin washers to insert between the tank and the mounting tabs just as a precaution. Mike

Thank you, I appreciate that. Mike

Completed the coolant surge tank on Sunday and it is ready to go to polish. Pressure testing it. Mocked into position. Thanks for looking. Mike

I haven't updated my surge tank project in a few days so here goes: Top clamped to the mill table and milled the holes for the two 1/4” NPT bungs. Also bored the 1.5” diameter hole for the filler neck. Welded on the back side. Top welded on after sectioning for the filler neck box which...

Nice.

Good for you, I think it would be good to get scouts involved or at least introduce them to welding. Seems less and less adults are being exposed to welding, let alone kids. Seems like all things mechanical or working with your hands is becoming a fading trend but the world still needs...

What brand of radiator? I would be willing to take a look at it and give you an estimate if you wanted to bring it by my shop. I'm in West Haven. Feel free to PM me if interested. Mike

Did you add a hyd. cylinder or gearbox? Or just the pump and reservoir? Mike

My wife and I are not the world travelers that some are, nor do we like to fly, I despise flying more precisely. We did go to Hawaii once about 20 years ago and I didn't care for it. The only way I like to vacation is by traveling in our coach. We generally go to places where we can find off...

I had a couple of hours to be able to spend in the shop Saturday afternoon so I continued work on my coolant surge tank. Started by machining the bungs needed for the tank. I ground a HSS tool to put a radius on the end of the bungs. Machined a step then parted off. Three 1/4” NPT bungs...

Thanks Greg. Definitely not my bragging welds as I was rushing and they started getting away from me due to heat. I appreciate the compliment though. Mike

Due to getting out of work late last night I didn’t get much done on my surge tank. Cut the top & bottom pieces. One thing worth mentioning is that when you bend up a piece of sheet you get a little raised nub at the corner. Take a file and knock these small nubs down flat and even with the...

Love it! Anywhere around Banff and up into BC is gorgeous. We trailered the Jeep and Harley up there in our enclosed trailer behind the coach about 5 years ago and rode the bike around much of the area and fell in love with it. Mike

Wife and I camped at one of our favorite places, Ouray, CO. One of our trips over Black Bear Pass looking down onto Telluride. Top of Imogene Pass with friends. Wife and I took off for a nice drive on the Great Western Trail out of Torrey, UT. Wife and I's campsite during our Jeep/RV...

Started another project last night. I have decided to fabricate a new surge tank for our Monaco Dynasty coach. The plastic surge tanks on the late 90’s through mid-2000’s are plastic and have quite a high failure rate. I feel mine is living on borrowed time being 15 years old and has 116k on...
