    I'm really glad Kevin went with the 78ft model so he can tow my trailer and his car inside. Definitely thinking ahead!

    S550 Honey Badger GT350 Build

    I wondered the same thing thing I got mine. My fiance actually wanted it and I ended up using it WAY more than she did. It completely changed my take on how I put things together for my car. Little inconveniences end up being solved in an hour rather than scraping the internet for parts or...

    S550 Honey Badger GT350 Build

    I hated 3D printing at first because of the difficulty and constant tinkering involved. That new Bambu Lab printer that Kevin has is incredible and the printers now are far better than they used to be. I'm always happy to step anyone through the process as well.

    S550 A Pale Horse

    Sorry man, meant to get back to you last night. The -12 fittings bind after about a turn AFTER running a tap through them after running a tap through them. Before, they'd catch almost immediately, maybe 1/3 of a turn. The adapter pictured is the same one with the issue. The fix has been to grind...

    S550 A Pale Horse

    None of the 1-1/16-12 fittings would fit the part, even after having a tap run through it. It completely perplexed three machine shops. We tried four different AN12 fittings and even verified their size by running them through other pieces tapped to that size. The part is hard anodized so...

    That's great info. This is my first adventure into the land of new engines so I passed that info along to the tuner. We'll have to pump out the old 91 since it has been in the tank for about 14 months now.

    Thanks brother! I just heard from the tuner and it turns out he can just pump it right out for me.

    Does anyone happen to have a favorite method for draining the gas tank? I need to get all the old 91 out of there in favor of E85. Thanks!Edit: Ideally one that doesn't require the car to be started since it isn't tuned right now. I may just have to have the tuner pump it out.

    I have one more update you'll like as well. I have someone to weld up the wing mount so I can then make the intermediate uprights. One step closer!The full story that led to this is a doozy, but's it is probably good to air out for anyone else that wants to try a similar thing on their build...

    More goodies have gone in or are on the way. I picked up Fathouse's lightweight battery/catch can tray combo to sit where the stock battery used to. The whole thing only weighs 8lbs which is nice. I'm running the Antigravity ATX20-HD. I just need to whip up the lines to run to the new valve...

    Happy Holidays

    You too brother! I want to get out your way to try out Ozarks. That place looks wild. Looking forward to what the new year brings for everyone!
