We need to give a round of applause for Steve. He's done this with a dremel and good old elbow grease.

In addition, who knows how many dates he's missed...

Steve:
How's it going to feel to have your life back???

 

What life, just means more time to work on my next project.... Daul RamAir Foglight Mod.

 

very impressive!

 

Great job. It's gotta be a labor of love.

 

I honestly think the guy is nuts...

 

Looking good. Wanna come do my charger next hehe.

 

Rich is calling me nuts.
Actually if you wanna see nuts, I'll post photo's of a R/C Lightning I just got done building that has front lights, working brake lights, sway bar, oil shocks, 70mph (Electric)
Wheels and Tires that match our 99-00 exactly. Alot of parts where custom fabricated out of other parts to work on the truck. Come to think of it I probably am nuts.

 

Hey Steve if you quit hanging out at Hooter's all the time it would not have taking you 1 1/2 years to finish this blower but very nice work.

Hooter's the restaurant or just Hooter's?

 

The S/C looks great. What are you going to use for the fog light cold air mod? I have done it using PVC pipe, screening material, and dryer vent hose. Seems to work great, however I can only get the left side to route to the airbox I fabricated. How are you planing to route the right side vent hose to the airbox? Are you going over/behind the radiator shroud? I cant do this since I have a Cervini Hood with a custom made airbox that takes up all this space. If you use the right size PVC fitting, I fits perfectly into the opening (after you remove some material to round it out on the inside of the airdam) and the dryer vent hose fits perfectly to the smaller end, and can be secured with hose clamps). Just wondering what you had planned.

 

what tool are you using to polish the charger..

i just started polishing my vortech s/c and mounting plate today and it looks nothing like yours...
there is no shine at all...

i am using a wire brush that said "for polishing metal...

 

I quickly learned wire wheels are a bad thing.
The actually leave more marks than you started with. Go to Eastwood.com and read up on the materials the sell. Greaseless compound (80-320) on a buff spinning around 22,000 rpm is a good place to start. Plan on not seeing much of a change in the product until you hit it with the 320 grit. As for tools a normal 35,000 rpm dremel for tight areas, a sears industrial dremel 30,000 rpm for large areas and a Milwakee of-set drill 700 rpm. Good for going slow and not @#*? things up and final buff also. Tons of buffs ranging from 1" to 4", felt bobs and metal sand paper and the biggest tool of all ME. As for the foglight mod I have no idea as It is just a thought in my head. Don't like the look of the foglights,and don't use them ever. Plus people will now something is up when they are missing. Again for Steven1642, stop using wire wheels, its the first thing I learned the hard way! Good Luck

 

steven: try a felt polishing wheel & some polishing compound after you are thru using the wire wheel..

 

Hi Steve,
It's looking good and yes I know the going is slow. You are so right about wire (steel) wheels. They are good for removing rust from steel but cause more damage to aluminum. If someone feels like using a wire wheel for paint removal they can try a brass wheel. There are also sissal wheels that can be use and they cut. I do not like to be too agressive in removal as I do not like the lose of details. I have seen some other polishing jobs that have been posted and they look real nice too so it is good to see this nice work and attention to detail. Great work guys keep it up.
