Build Orange's Neverending Scrap 80 Build (the s is silent)

[Firemedic831]

Rear axle is going in this weekend. Bobbing the bed and isntalling sliders next week. Working on front bumper fab this week in the evenings. I think this thing is gonna be a ton of fun at Rubithon. Then I can dial more in for November

I have my bender and Tube if you want to bend anything

 

[peesalot]

OH he's gonna bend some s***.

I keep 2 big and one medium bottle around. I just refilled the 2 bigs last week. They're starting to recognize me now, so that's not great. The pocket feels it for sure

for filling a big bottle you could buy a new rim, its crazy .

Cha-ching, its 80 or 90 for a 10lbs.

What gas are you running? I'm just running 75/25, so it's not too bad. When I fill both 250s and the 125 im right around 300 bucks

 

[Firemedic831]

I think he runs Flux core. then dumps gas on it after and burns it

 

[peesalot]

Not here, on a Sunday theres 1 guy stays open so he can charge 100 bucks for a 10lb bottle of 75/25. It's 350 ish to fill the big ( 4ft ) bottle.

That is actually insane and they get away with that. In Southern California it wasn't great, but it wasn't that bad

4 weekends left till the debut

 

[AgentOrange]

Crunchy Taco is now sanded down and ready to be all one color. Got the grill and headlights to fit properly. Got light tabs, antenna mount, and brake line tabs all made up and in. Wiring ran for everything that’ll go in it once it’s painted. Anxious to get this thing out and play

 

[AgentOrange]

Sterling is bolted in under the 80 now. Got hubs and bearings on last night. Tonight is making brakes work and adapt to the Toyota lines. Then this weekend is to figure out the AntiRock so I can drive this thing too

 

[Broski]

Wow you get an amazing amount of work done!!
When do you sleep

 

[AgentOrange]

Wait, you guys are sleeping? My buddy James helps a lot as I go. Extra hands make it so much faster. And I work only 8 minutes from home so I can start in right away after work

 

[peesalot]

Supposed to be finishing build and your painting, just clear coat it like that.

Show trucks

 

[AgentOrange]

I wanna look pretty when go anywhere

Got the Anti Rock set up. Also got the rear wheels on and mounted. Next up, trimming a bunch and making shock mounts. Also got the Taco primed and partially painted. Lots still to do
