Just a thought...the smallish tanks AC refrigerant comes in are available free (once they're empty) everywhere. Not hard to put a fitting in the "other" end for the low working pressures you're talking about, or the just use a T-fitting to fill it. I used to pull 'em out of our scrap metal dumpster for future projects, but I have way more than I'll ever need.

But...what country is Europe in? Hundreds of thousands of US college students (and grads) want to know.

Lotta folks in the YT comment sections that you just know can't do squat, criticizing people like Foose. OK little fellas. Let's see what YOU can do, and then we'll weight your opinions accordingly.

Haven't we been here before?

...and when all the Mr.Wizard techie junk quits, inevitably, I'd just swap supercharged C5 guts (with a manual box) into it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qonlVVrrrU&ab_channel=Sarah-n-Tuned

Leg of mutton makes an untraceable murder weapon if used as a club when frozen and subsequently roasted, according to an ancient Hitchcock episode based on Roald Dahl's 1953 short story "Lamb to the Slaughter".

Thank you sir. I'd like to get it going again, but I got derailed trying to find some timing covers that looked like what was in the real injected (non-supercharged) car. Probably time to use what I've got and get pretty close. Nobody but me and Mickey would probably know or care anyway. I did find some Hilborn injection manifolds that look close enough, from the old Revell Anglia/Thames 394 Oldsmobile engines. Intake port spacing is close enough to the Pontiac to pass unless somebody gets out the micrometers...but I ended up having to make a coupla resin copies to avoid buying multiple Anglia kits to scavenge. Found some nice metal stacks that look good too, but getting them all mounted exactly the same as in the photos proved to be more challenging than I'd originally thought...

"Make Orwell fiction again". Idiocracy too. Please. Please. Please.

I think Moebius should make a model of a goat hoose (wasn't that a GTO option package??), but maybe there already was one, and either the molds were destroyed in a train wreck, or are lost somewhere in China?

"Drive it like you stole it" was a favorite phrase of an acquaintance who thought he was oh-so-clever, but my approach is usually "drive it like I'm going to have to fix whatever I break".

Heights of absurdity have become commonplace.

Brother, can you spare 10 grand (a 1929 dime adjusted for inflation) for a cup of coffee ?

What really irked me today is my own back. I was up at 05:00, and it's taken me until past noon to get mobile enough to go in to work. Bugger.

Yeah, I was in Home Despot yesterday and was surprised to see the amount of cages for goods that have been installed in the last few months. Kindof a sorry statement about what our new-much-mo-better society really is like today. There was a time that theft was the exception, rather than taken for granted. EDIT: Googli's AI obviously doesn't have to pay for business losses due to theft, because it insists that crime is actually down everywhere, and we just shouldn't believe our lying eyes.

You simply need to look for a sticker (or stamped into the metal) indicating that the tank conforms to the relevant ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) specification. https://www.asme.org/certification-accreditation/boiler-and-pressure-vessel-certification It's worth doing some homework to insure you don't have an unexpected boom, with flying steel shrapnel. Offshore manufacturers are notorious for fudging compliance data, so make sure whoever you buy it from has enough insurance to pay your medical and rehab bills, and whatever post-boom prosthetics may be required.

"Tinker constantly" is a reputed necessity on older English cars, but they're really quite reliable if you know how to get them right.

Nice to see a well-turned-out original design. It looks like quality craftsmanship.

Many many years ago, my street ride for a while was a very rough ex-SCCA D-production "Marina Blue" '66 Corvair 140horse, a Yenko Stinger in every respect but its origins. Stripped interior, sounded like a steel trash can when you closed the doors. It was a step "up" from the similarly prepped '62 Bug autocrosser (Porsche 356SC-powered) that was my daily driver some years earlier. Fun car, decent autocrosser, loud and obnoxious inside, not that loud outside thanks to twin "turbo" mufflers, on old hardened race tires that were totally illegal on the street here at the time, but hey...it had a state inspection sticker (wink wink). Not date-friendly with the roll bar and noise, but I always had overnight or weekend access to interesting customer cars in those days. One of the ones I wish I'd been able to hang on to, though not being a real Yenko or having a very successful racing history, its value today would be limited.

Large soft-drink bottles made from clear PET are also a popular source for low-cost glazing material.

Guide your children to be honest, responsible, and rational critical thinkers.

Valuable knowledge as far as this thread goes would be that "expensive tractor models" (posted above 6 hours ago) is NOT a sentence, and the name of this game is "one sentence game".

"Afraid" is not a good feeling, whether it means actual fear, or worry or concern or disappointment.

Isn't that the truth.

Lunchmeat that had shot up from $6 and change to closing on $10 per pound is back down to $7 and change...which feels like a sweet deal now. Maybe that's why the price increase in the first place...?

Just bought a few pieces of steel strip and rectangular stock that would have been under $10 not that long ago, now well over $30. I used to marvel at how cheap steel was, considering everything you could do with it. I guess the universe was listening to my thoughts. "We'll show him..."
