Eddie,
Not much news around here that is exciting anyway. Seems I have a two faced sword of a problem with the bender. I think you saw it. A very heavey piece of equipment which is hardly balanced to stand on it's own. I assumed it would be fine because it is basically pushing against itself when operating. The problem is not being mounted to the floor and when I lay a 12' long 2" pipe on it, it does fall over! Very nasty.
Of course the answer is to bolt it to the floor which brings up problem #2. I can't drill holes in the floor until I find the heat tubes with a pyrometer-the reason I have busting my butt on getting the outdoor furnace hooked up to supply heat to the floor. Then I can take my pyro gun and located the tubes. The furnace has hit a wiring snag and is not able to be turned on yet. We're going to try a new GFI circuit outlet today and see if that isn't the problem. If it is it will be mounted today, if not the electrician is coming tomorrow.
The fuel well is a piece of cake as well as the vents however I have spent every waking moment on the bender. On the other side your interior is going to the upholsterer Friday. The wiring is all 'temporarily hooked up and still needs to be tucked away. This is presenting a small problem because all the key electronics have NOW to be mounted under the dash and not in the trunk. Progress is slow right now, (I thought I would at least have the stripe on). As soon as I get the bender mounted then there is nothing left but full speed ahead once again.Brakes are almost fully bled so now it is time to set the angle of the rear end and get the rear end lined up too.
Take it easy on your back, it will all break loose soon! I'll let you know later today how the wiring on the furnace worked, a little dark right now in the woods to be playing around with 220v's. First light I will be back out there tryiong to lick this simple problem!
MEAN TIME, A LITTLE PATIENCE ON THE CAR and YOUR BACK. Nothing worse for Cobra owner than to ask for patience!
We're geting there, just some glitches alnog the way. Stay tuned.
