Hey Brad, you wouldn't happen to have a tap and die set so I could chop down my shifter, would you?
"Short" shifter

 

I do have a "cheap" tap and die set, can't guarantee I have the correct die but I should. Perhaps someone could bring a set with 'em.

 

hey i have this weekend off ill see if i cant swing by. iv been working on a new sub box.

 

This is the die needed: 12mm X 1.25 Cutting die
It fits in a 1 inch die tool.
If you don't have that size die, I can maybe pick one up from Sears or something.

 

Yeah, don't have that one. Going to have to get me a good set one of these days.

 

I thought they were called TECH Days??

 

Well our TECH days normally last into the evening and morph from work to party. [drinking] Gotta cut this one short though, so perhaps Tech day would have been more appropriate. [wrenchin]

 

Hrm.....Can't seem to find that die.......I'll try to hit up a Sears on the way to your house, Brad. If I can't find it, I'll be an extra pair of hands to help whoever needs it!

 

That's cool, and I'm heading to AutoZone in a minute, I'll look for that die there. Just seems that Ford didn't want anything to be standard on the Focus.

 

No luck, just 12mm x 1.5

 

I'll still be in Yakistan. I would love to go.

Sunuva.........It is a 12 x 1.25. Well, I know I can pick that one up. Archived how-to

 

I hate it when that happens.

One of these days JP, one of these days!

 

Thanks Brad! Had a great time and got a lot done.

 

Today was very good I got all my lighting in and every thing works great. Just waiting for it to get dark to see my lights. If i can stay awake that long. Thanks Brad and Cindy for your hospitality. Sorry we stayed as late as we did. Hope the rest of the week end goes good.

Dave

P.S. Hope the kids didnt destroy the house

 

Yes Thank you Brad and Cindy for letting us come over and hang out with you guys, Your the best my kids love you guys alot on the way home all Jazz would say is my friend said talking about Cindy that is. she is cute she is excited to go back and see you guys again also.. Thanks Brad also for the lift to the bank that was so nice of you..Your so sweet!!!

 

nope, sorry im doing side work on the weekends for like the rest of the year basically lol, when i get my cams and camshafts ill be over ill tell ya that

 

I would have stoppped in brad, but I was(apperently) tired and didn't wake up until around 11 am, then I had to run some arrends, one which included taking my wheels to be powdercoated[woot].

I don't have much to work on, but I still wanted to come and help the other guys! I will make it next time, for sure!

I really want to get out and meet you guys, officially this time. I get shy when it comes to new people [:I]

No reason to by shy around us, we're not people, we're FocusFanatics (a totally different breed)

We will either get to meet you at the G2G in June or the next work party if we have another one before then. And you will show up, Puyallup is not that far away, don't make us hunt you down. [hihi]

 

We did get a lot done, even though I wasn't much help. I've have been under the weather for a few days and it's slowing me down for sure. I spent most of the day "supervising" [hihi] (A.K.A. sitting on my butt)

Thanks for the "thanks" everyone! We had a great time too.

Brian (RaceThatFocus) has a new look for his headlights and wheels. We painted the wheels on Friday night. I want to see them in the sunshine though, the last coat on those wheels was with a muti-colored metal flake.

Brian's headlights have now been opened, painted and resealed. They spent a lot of time in my oven on Saturday and I was a tremendous amount of help (I turned on the oven). Well come on, you'd never have gotten them done with the oven off.

Davey and Tena (Daveyboy and Sweetness) went home with 3 sets of blue cold cathodes connected to a StreetGlow controller. Davey knows his stuff but once again my help was indispensable. I'm not sure where he'd be if I hadn't put that one light in place for him. [] Tena there's a pic on your camera that needs to go "here". The one of Davey working on the underside of the passenger seat. Yeah, the one where he's on the floor wedged between the back seat and front seats, with the console comfortably placed in his lower ribs and his feat sticking out the drivers side.

Charlie (Motor_head) has back up lights again after replacing the switch on the transmission. Another job I'm sure never would have been completed if I hadn't been there. Well come on, someone had to put the jack under the tranny.

Charlie spent Friday working on his head lights and showed up sporting those nicely blacked out. While he was here he took care of the honeycomb grill to match. I found this picture in his profile this morning.

Tena we know you have a ton more pictures on your camera - between you and Cindy taking pics I'm still seeing that damn flash when I blink.
