    Bride + Wedding = Bridesmaids.  If you're there in your Sunday best with the Mercury all shiny n shizz you may just be the best thing that some of these lasses have laid eyes on... forward planning Dan...

    Unfortunately no success looking for Dan's bits and pieces, but I do now have a list and will keep an eye out for the future.
     
    On a plus note I was out in Ontario for some bits for my dedicated CNG Crown Vic - I was looking for a fuel pressure regulator and I had been given a tip that the scrappy had an '02 in at the moment.  Due to being made with ground up Leprechauns and Unicorn tears Ford list two prices for this one part number: fucking expensive and WTF? Is that decimal point in the right place, expensive ($980 and $2,500).
     
    On another plus note scrappies (and most folk) know the best part of sweet FA about Natural Gas cars, so after some beard rubbage by the cashier I paid a massive $27.  On the downside, this came from a car with 568,000 miles on the clock - no, that's not a typo.  If anyone gives a flying fcuk I will put up a separate thread with Crown Vic fixage - could be fun as it is life threateningly dangerous and will involve playing with a fuel system that's pressurized at 3,600 psi - WCPGW?

    Traffic? At 2 p.m. on a bank holiday Monday.... sheeeeeet.

    That isn't... is it?  Why yes it is - an Austin America

    Sorry Dan... it looks like TEH Junkman and his rabid hoard of Autoshite scrap pillagers beat me to it

    Still, what could be more fun than lying on gravel under a shitty Crown Vic in this kind of weather?

    Seen it mentioned plenty of times so I thought I’d watch episode 1 today and see what the fuss is about.
     
    Chance of getting much done for the next few days now is minimal.

    Sorry for the blurry phone picture.  The holes are 1/8" diameter - not sure what that equates to in that new fangled metrical system...
     
    Apparently it helps the powder flow better.  You should also check the seal on your powder tub to the gun as it can be a bit leaky - mine is fine but my mate's lets a small but steady stream of powder escape - nothing that can't be fixed though.  Looking forward to seeing your results.

    Glad to see you got the Eastwood gun - I have had one for ages and you can do a job equal to that of the professionals, albeit limited by the size of your oven.  I get my powder from https://www.powderbuythepound.com/ but there is probably somewhere more local to you for supplies.
     
    Eastwood used to do an improved tip for that gun but they no longer list it on their site - I will get a picture of mine for you as you can easily modify it yourself.

    It's a kit you buy and make your own.  I can't quite remember but I think it cost me somewhere around $75 for the resin, the dye and the silicon rubber for making a mould.

    The lens on the left is the side marker from my Rover P6, the one on the right was my first go at making one

    No one has to buy it or read it if they don't want to. If anyone wants to read The Great Gatsby instead then crack on.
     
    Mike and Edd did many series of TV progs which we've all watched. They're both obviously car enthusiasts.
    Why the shit vibe slagging them off? I'd rather have seen the progs than not have seen them.
