lovin the battery/pump rack. looks sick should be cool

iLLblazer · 11-18-2009, 02:57 PM

Shit dude I didn't know you were going to clear it! I wouldn't have slotted the front panel to locate the pump brackets. (thats what the sanding marks are from, I smoothed out some plug welds there)

artsar · 11-18-2009, 04:04 PM

I didn't plan on clearing it at first, but then I felt that it going all black would hide the craftsmanship and silver would look weird against the chrome pumps. I might paint it gun metal one day

hey bro, how close to the airport are you guys?

artsar · 11-18-2009, 06:22 PM

If you know North Bay, The airport is on airport road(obviously), but that road turns into McKewin(I dunno how to spell it). I live off that road. Its about a 10-15 min drive depending on construction.

gtxsmitty · 11-19-2009, 02:30 PM

k cool I will prob come up one day then for the day. You have class everyday of the week?

artsar · 11-19-2009, 04:23 PM

I have class tuesday-thursday, but its nearing the end of the semester so I really don't go often. ALSO I work on weekends at good ol Sobeys. Let me know when/if you plan to come and I'll let you know more.

gtxsmitty · 11-19-2009, 07:30 PM

you still have my number?
txt me with your new one... I think I updated it in my phone when you got it but just in case.

That rack looks good. Only suggestion is wherever you mount it. Weld some 3/16's plate to the floorpan at the mounting locations.The pumps will rip that rack and the bolts through the thin sheetmetal. I like the hardlines, are they stainless or is that copper? also are those DeepCycle batteries?

artsar · 11-24-2009, 10:05 PM

The rack is being bolted through the cars sub frame at 8 locations. I figured that should hold it down since I don't have a welder. and the hardline is rusted steel. They came with the pumps. I'm still looking for a place to get the hardline for a decent price.

LowLinc · 11-24-2009, 11:42 PM

ah ok. good to know

gtxsmitty · 11-25-2009, 04:26 PM

hows the rear swingarm coming along?

artsar · 11-25-2009, 05:07 PM

Its been a bit hard to send Joel my idea on paper. I really wish my 3d rendering program would work. Atleast I could send a 3d rendering of what I want. BUT it is under way. We're just trying to figure out how it needs to be built via e-mails. If I could drive to the shop and show him I'm sure it would make more sence, but I'm terrible at explaining anything without having a visual example.

I think I figured out how to solve the issue that the HHR guy was having though. Theres just enough clearance that if I drop the cross brace 2" It can run under the trunk tire well. If it gets to close... I'm willing to cut some of that out.

artsar · 11-25-2009, 05:10 PM

and the more I think about it, the more my idea changes. Time to try something out before joel starts. I may have a better way to build this.

iLLblazer · 11-25-2009, 11:02 PM
