Re: [Chevelle-list] Need some advice/help

[Rick Schaefer]

 Face it, we're all a bunch of pack rats!   In recent years I've limited subscriptions to 3 per month and maybe I buy  1 or 2 magazines from the newstand.   I can't stand the thought of just tossing them.   I tried scanning some useful articles but still can't get rid of the magazines.  I bet that I have Super Chevy & some Hot Rod going back to the 80's.   I've promised myself that I'm gonna cull them soon, maybe take some to the high school shop teacher or local nursing homes.

 
Hi I'mRick and I'm a magazine-a-holic.

Hey guys.  This is kind of car related.  
I save all my copies of 3-4 car magazine subscriptions and also copies of 3-4 woodworking magazines.   Plus a bunch of catalogs.  There is something in every issue that will never go out of date. A special project,  Plans, tips and tricks.  Articles and pictures that will be nice to have down the road.  There's got to be somebody out there with the same problem.  

Right now I have them stacked on the floor of my computer room in neat 11 stacks.  Very neatly, but not according to my wife.  Once I put them in boxes I will probably never reference them again.  Anybody out there with a good filing system, that works

Suggestions welcome. 
Thanks
Jim S.

  Hi Karl,
   
  The problem with the .035 flux core is the amount 
  of heat required to turn it liquid is sometimes a bit hotter than is required 
  to puddle the base material.  Thats why you get blow thru.  
  
   
  Maybe see if a local welding supply store offers 
  the flux core in an .025.  you'll need to change the contact tip but your 
  existing liner should work fine.

I'm using .035 flux core right now.  I also have 
.025 and shielding gas, but probably won't use it because I don't 
have  an enclosed space to weld in (and it can get kinda windy 
where the car is).

Re: [Chevelle-list] Need some advice/help

[SEVENTYCHEVY]

Years ago I ran into the same problem when it came time to move- I wanted 
certain articles but needed to consolidate.  I bought several one and two 
inch three ring binders and labeled them "Engine, Body, Suspension, Cool Ideas, 
etc."; then inside I labeled dividers "Heads, Cam, Carb, Fuel 
Injection, etc.".  I carefully tore out the articles I wanted to 
keep and inserted them in plastic page protectors and put them in the 
appropriate section.  Now I have my own resource center.
 
I read four car magazines a month- so I go through my magazines once 
or twice a year to keep the wife happy.  Not to promote any one writer or 
magazine; but, I especially like the technical articles by David 
Vizard.

Re: [Chevelle-list] rotisserie

[Karl Groves]

This is the basis for my rotisserie:
http://www.harwoodperformance.bizland.com/1941buick/Editorial_20.htm

I've made a number of modifications, because I feared it wouldn't be able to
handle my Chevelle. Most notably, I think the Chevelle is too wide to
actually rotate at the dimensions specified.

If you (or anyone else) are interested in the final dimensions of my
rotisserie, I'll try to gather them together (they're scratched out in pen
on my printout of the original design)

I noticed that Karl is building a rotisserie and wondered if any of you guys 
had "blueprints" of any rotisserie's you have built.  I found some good 
ideas on the net but thought I would run it by you guys too.  I am in the 
gathering material stage and now would be a good time to get everything I 
need.  Thanks

The one thing I didn't notice way the custom built 
engine stands made out of shopping carts. If it's from the find you guys are 
talking about I would have expected them to keep the motors bolted to those 
stands.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Welding question

[Larry Shouse]

Karl,

I'm not an expert welder by any means, but I agree with them. When I burn
through, I increase the wire speed, which gets me moving along a bit faster.
I also noticed a big difference in the quality of my work when I converted
my Lincoln to a real gas mig welder and got away from the flux core wire.

So what you're saying is *faster* wire speed might help? I'll try that

Re: [Chevelle-list] Welding question

Hi Karl,
 I use a Hobart handler 140 w/ shielding gas on most sheetmetal 
work. I run the heat at 3 and speed around 35.  If I burn through I 
will either back the heat off or increase wire speed to 50ish.  
Usually the wire speed and keeping my hand moving takes care of the 
blow through.  Definitely something to play with on scraps if you 
can.

That's definitely some good news about the magazine improvements. It

you do. More than most,I know just how much work it is running an

Re: [Chevelle-list] Welding question

[Jim Buckingham]

Stick is real hard on sheet metal.  The mig should do fine.  I have a small
hobart handler 135 that I used for most of my welding.  I set it on 2 and
about 40 then on the speed setting.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] Welding question

I have a Lincoln Electric HandyMiG (#20580) 110V welder and a little Clarke
95E (#WE6490) stick welder.

The MiG welder has been doing a great job at welding my rotisserie (which is
almost complete!).
The Clarke machine just couldn't get good penetration even when we cranked
the power all the way up. I tried 4 different types & sizes of sticks and it
just couldn't do it. It only takes 1/16 or 5/64 sticks, which should have
been my first sign that it couldn't cut the mustard.

So, my question is this: I also have some welding to do on the sheet metal
(floorboards, quarters, etc.) on my Chevelle.  When I weld some practice
pieces with my MiG, it is really hard to keep from burning right through the
material.I was contemplating selling the stick welder, but now that I
think about it, I was wondering whether I could use it on the sheet metal.

Does anyone else have any experience with this, to offer some insight?

Thanks

Yep, we'll bring it back, Clint.  The photo count for that section has been
down a little over the Summer (I guess during the warm weather folks have
plenty other things to do than send us pix of their cars), but we plan on
bringing it back in the Sept/Oct issue.  Currently I've been concentrating
on getting caught up on writing/producing all the back issues, and am
finally starting to see the end of the tunnel.  In fact, I'm working on the
May/June issue now, and after that the July/Aug issue will have CB'06
coverage.  Also been working with another Member to index all the CW
articles since the beginning (10 years worth!), which has turned out to be a
fairly formidable task.  I believe ACES Members will appreciate the hard
work that went into it, however.  Probably run it in the Sept/Oct issue as
well.

Here's a bit of news you might enjoy, too, Clint...  Beginning with the
CB'06 issue we're going full color from cover-to-cover, and adding four more
pages of content.  I guess my thoughts are if we can't go monthly with the
mag, why not instigate improvements that will give Members a bit more bang
for their buck?

As for your Elky making it into the mag, I would have to say the biggest
inhibitor is not taking it to one of our Regional events, Clint.  Because CB
is such a busy event for me, I never get a chance to shoot feature cars
there, and have to rely on our Regional attendees to provide me with
material.  Plus, the added possibility of having your Chevelle photographed
for CW may have a slight effect on attendance ( we hope).

Of course, I'm always on the lookout for Chevelles that meet our criteria
for features; not only do they have to be great cars with considerable
craftsmanship and other attributes, but it seems I'm always short on '64s,
'68s, and El Caminos.  I believe your Elky fills at least the majority of
that criteria.

At any rate, I hope our paths cross again soon, Clint,  I hope things are
going well on your end; reading some of your posts on the Chevelle List has
given me some insight to the difficulties you're facing now.  You're in my
thoughts an prayers, my friend.

Warmest regards,

Chuck
