No three wheel?

I prefer the twisted knot myself, but cool layout non the less

Not so much a model, but mine would have to be "true fire". I think I've been able to pick up a gun or roll of tape, and lay down almost any style of graphic but for those so far. Even Dutch style stripe work. Little practice and I had the hang of it to a point. But I don't know how much paint and PO'ed people I've been through with that stuff. I've finally started using a style with auto air that's getting there I think. But man, what a learning curve.

Yep, a whole bunch of them

Thats a pretty good price, what with the auto punch and all....

http://www.vin-plate.co.uk/number_punch_kit.html How much does this convert to in US dollars?

It's all related to the cam timing Andy, but for s and g's, notice how not all the brands number the cylinders the same. If you were to number them all alike, a lot of them would run the same order physically on the block. Something interesting to look at, search a Chevy 5,7 swap cam.

Remember the fire the Porche 4 door lit when came around? I wonder if this will do the same with the loyals. Pretty tame tires for an "SUV"

I'm not sure why all this stuff is so hush hush, top secret. Anyone, and I mean anyone, can buy a lock rod and air bladder. Most of the time they come as a set. You don't go inside the door, it lifts the door off the body and the rod goes in from there.

Concidering he didn't stamp it with the correct type of stamps, those he had would not be considered "criminal tools" correct?

I think this is around here somewhere in English if you want to read it.

Great build. I like the way you used different colors for the background. I looks like three different cars at a quick glance.

I guess I just never thought of there being "vin" stamping tools. I use stamps for lots of identification uses. Perhaps it's the reverse stamps to raise the letters not imprint them? Crazy stuff.

Uhh...

It's not illegal to have numerical or alphanumeric punches, I have lots. I wonder if they are criminal after the fact?

I wonder what "criminal tools" would include ???

Custodial engineer....

In a carded blister pack ??? this is cool!!!

Not to keep getting off the topic, but I did some searching this morning and seen this. Thought I would share it. In terms of etymology, originally motor was just another word for mover, especial "the prime mover", i.e., the thing that moves the rest of the device. Meanwhile, originally, an engine was any device or system (mechanical, chemical, electrical, or even human, social, or political) that effects a result: a catapult is an engine, a crane is an engine, a bomb is an engine, a political party is an engine, a water-powered mill is an engine, a criminal gang is an engine, and a man with a singleness of purpose is an engine. Gradually through the 19th century "engine" became especially (but not exclusively) associated with fire, boilers, furnaces, and bombs -- in short any device that tended to get very hot and explode, but the whole system was still considered "the engine", not just the prime mover (the motor). In the 20th Century, Americans took to calling a car motor "the engine", even though the suspension system, steering system, braking system, gearing, and whole drive train are really collectvely "the engine". Also, re. t3h_Jakal, the word Engine is NOT taken "from the word Heat Engine [sic]". It comes from the Latin word INGENIUM (from which we also get "ingenious") and prior to the 1800s just meant any contrivance that acheives an intended result. It can be and is still used this way by those with a literary bent with a gift for words. And "Motor" did not originate with "Electric Motor": there were motors long before that: motors powered by wound springs. The fact that Faraday felt obliged to put the qualifying adjective "Electrical" in front of "Motor" implies he did so to distinguish it from the common motors of his day. The same is true for Watt's placement of the term "Steam" in front of "Engine" to qualify what kind of engine it was, and to thus distinguish it from the typical engines of his day. Kind of interesting. I've never really looked into it.

I know that Harry, but this Isnt the early 20th century. Just thought it was interesting. You don't see that term used much anymore, what ever the age of it is. But don't forget, some of the first "motor cars" were electric..... Maybe it just stuck with them. I only bring it up because I deal with people on a regular basis who go nuts when you say "what motor you runnin" ....they scream " it's an engine, not a motor" .... Must be rubbing off on me.

Funny they mention "motor car " a bunch of times. Are steam power plants normally called motors or engines?

Very cool. I like the situation you've made here. Way more relaitable then then a show scene. I like it a lot.

tubes man, better air flow. Some 2" stainless would look trick

umm, Ive seen bargins....they didnt look like 2 large.. That would make for a crazy looking twin turbo setup though

I've seen a lot of that tire look in the magazines. But isn't that a solid axle car?
