I just bought a 240z that is a major fixer upper. But it is one of my favs so working to restore it over the next year. I'm in the process of stripping everything out so I can properly inspect for rust. So far, just two areas need it, but I imagine after removing the paint I will likely find more.My question is, what is the best way to remove paint and rust from the body of a car? Is media blasting recommended? If so, do you know a good machine I could use at home? I just need to create a clean room around the car right? Walnut shells is what I was researching. Advice on vehicle resto for paint and rust removal appreciated. >pic semi related

If you don't want to help, they have gay sites that allow you to jerk eachother off with roleplay. >>2958891I know of two places, but they charge more than what the car would even sell for brand new. Plus, this is something I want to do. My buddy is going to primer it for me as soon as I'm done.

Glue them together into bricks

I was thinking about this the first time around 20 years ago. It seems not to be the most famous way of cooling, but I did want to give it a reconsideration.I want my PC to be silent and figured to dump it into a canister full of oil would be the easiest and ongoing way to do so.Usualy I never upgrade or change parts. When I have a system running it stays like this. I may consider upgrading the GPU befor.Neither do I need fancy LEDs or a see through case. I want this build to be as sturdy, simple and cheap as possible. No fancy shit, just a silent machine.I've read about mineral oil, since basic plant oil can break.There were some mentions of involving a radiator, but that would also need to involve an oil pump (noise?) and more work plus sources of failure.Any thoughts or experiences on this topic are appreciated.This is the PC I want to dunk: https://www.msi.com/Desktop/Aegis-3-8th/SpecificationComment too long.

>>2958547Yeah, if you look closely, in an oil cooled system, all the fans spin at reduced rpms. This is because of the viscosity of the oil. The same thing would happen to an HDD if it got submerged in oil. Idk about helium-sealed drives but seeing as how cheap high capacity SATA SSDs are, I don't think you should even bother with conventional hard drives.
If you're spending hundreds on oil submersion consider putting it in another room and using a kvm
>>2958614Depends on how much storage you want I think. You can get 8TB helium sealed HDDs for about £100. 8TB of SSD is £450 in the same market.I'm most of the way through building a 48TB system right now, so SSDs would cost me an extra £350 * 6 = £2100. I'd rather spend that elsewhere.
>>2958620I suppose a NAS can also be an option, those can run basically fanless if you buy low power hardware. I really don't understand why you'd want such a huge storage space for your personal system.
>>2958621Most people people don't want or need that much, but if you want even a pretty normal amount it's still better to get the HDD because the price is a quarter that of the SATA SSD.
What screws should I pair with them?
>>2957257Let me help.
It says on the package 40kg, 6mm screws will be fine as long as you don't shock load them.
>>2957352Is that 40kg per screw?
>>2957434I think that's pull out force for the plugs.

Been scratching my head on this one. I live near airports and don't want to fly a drone for this. Drones also have bad battery life so I really want to be able to accomplish this:I am wanting a self driving rc car or arduino robot that can follow me or avoid me. The tracking can be simple and it barely needs obstical avoidance since you are walking in a straight line usually. And I want to attach a selfie stick with an action camera on top of it so it cam film me as a walk towards or away from it.Can any one think of how to do this and link to any profucts that ready do this?
>>2958477Ger outta here sauce plz
>>2958429don't know shit about the programing but I would use a tracked rc carthat way if you move to the right of the camera frame it can trigger the left tract and get you back into center without the car having to move far from its position
>>2958429Tie a rope to a shopping cart and tie the other end around your waist.The cart will now follow you at a fixed distance

The little tank next to my furnace blew a hole in itself
>>2956741>expansion vessel is the white one on the right side on the wallthat's what exploded>Disconnect the nearest joint to the explody thing and slap a threaded cap on it or something, then you can turn on cold.so i'd have to take the whole busted tank off and cap the end. wtf doesn't it have its own valve
>>2956783Can't you shut off the mixing valve, the white one at top? Then you could have the left valve open. >why it don't have its own valveThey usually don't, but a well designed manifold would let you isolate it relatively easily.
>>2956741Look at the condition of his pipes, they're going to break the second he touches them.
>>2956783because if it had a valve people like you would close it off and just leave it like that. an expansion tank is part of the safety equipment like an overpressure valve, it should allow for a certain pressure/volume increase so the safety valve doesnt blow constantly. safety equipment are never given valves for that reason. if it fails you should replace it not just close the valve and forget about it.

These bitches (the big ones) were FIVE BUCKS EACH and the smaller ones (they have 8 inch subs instead of 12) were eight bucks each.Goodwill fucking sucks nowadays but at least I can still take advantage of them not wanting giant speakers from the 1980s taking up their floor space.Anyway the DIY point here is that I'm the only person to have ever played various CDs over a set of Nikko DRM-3000s via a JVC KS-RT70 (yes its me from the thread a while ago (I found a cable!)) in a 2019 crossover and the other set of speakers (I might put them in a different vehicle, the Nikkos are destined for the house once I make room for them) are Fisher STV-8626es.And my advice, to (you), is never to buy audio equipment new. I have an entire stack of CD changers and amplifiers and soon I'll have a stack of speakers, I'm going to have Hi-Fi in every room of my house!Burning CDs is great, but cassettes are even easier, just get a ton of cheap ones and tape over them. Hate county music? Tape over it with hatsune miku! Hate rap music? Tape over it with bluegrass! Instructional tapes about how to get into real estate? Dubstep!Yes, you're going to have to replace some belts or gears depending on cassette mechanisms or CD loaders or phono drives, but stop being a baby about it and pick up a damn screwdriver.Though sometimes you do everything right and get two tape mechanisms fully serviced and then the mainboard just refuses to send 14v to one of the motors anymore. Fuck you, Technics!!!!!! Those replacement gears from etsy were expensive!!
Now, one of these four speakers I got happened to have some squashed tweeter dust caps, but I got them sorted out just fine by putting some gorilla tape on them and pulling them back out (don't try to adhere the tape fully, just get it on there enough to pull them out)

Is there any reason besides cost and size in a bag to get a Dremel style, low wattage rotary tool over a Foredom style flex shaft grinder? And then is there any reason to get one of those over a die grinder type tool with a flex shaft added? It seems you can the light, dexterous precision tool with more power and flexibility going this way, but what am I missing?
>>2951794>any recomendations on what to buy to use the router as the main power?no one knows which shaft can be bought for a router?
>>2951632>costi just want to shamelessly brag about this old school dremel i snagged at a yard sale today for $1
>>2956300NoiceOld/new doesent matter, its a spinny
>>2952009That's a standard Foredom SR used by 1000's of goldsmiths/jewelers everyday. They have variable speed controlled by a foot pedal. They are about $350 new, but I see them on CL all the time for about $200. I got mine for $100.
Good timing for this to be back at the top. Got an old harbor freight flex shaft grinder (similar style to a foredom) that I used for porting heads and doing some other random shit years and years ago. Handpiece is kinda shit and fell apart, so it's got a hoseclamp on it holding it together at the moment. Needed to engrave some ear tags for some heifers we are having bangs vaccinated tomorrow. It got the job done, but would be nicer if it had certain features. It has a variable speed foot pedal, but really I would have just been standing on it the whole time, so I just plugged it straight into the outlet and bypassed the pedal. This made it run full speed the entire time it was plugged in, so #1 thing that would have made it nicer would to have an on-off switch on the motor like a real foredom grinder does. A switch on the handpiece would be even better. I know some of the dremel style flexible shaft grinders do have this feature, but haven't seen any of the foredom brand grinders with this feature. Another thing I would like is instead of a little keyed chuck I would actually prefer something with a 1/4' collet. Would be smaller and lighter in the hand, and really I only use 1/4" shank bits anyways... So I put a bid in on a real foredom grinder on e-bay. It has the collet style handpiece and the switch on the motor, so two out of 3 things I wanted. Hopefully the legit Foredom grinder handpiece and cable will fit on the Harbor Freight one, and then I can buy another handpiece for it and have two useful flexible shaft grinders. I don't own a dremel and probably never will. I've used air powered die grinders for years. Have a cordless Milwaukee M12 90 degree die grinder and a corded Milwaukee electric die grinder as well. The M12 die grinder only gets used for some real tight area weld blending with roloc sanding disks and flap disks and sometimes with a surface conditioning disk to clean up gasket surfaces for water pumps and whatnot.
Has anyone compared these two, or have any sense of what performance differences there may be? How do these multi wheels compare to dedicated metal-cutting diamond wheels?
>>2957953Project Farm did a video three years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7kX7pqaFmI
>>2957961Thanks, but only one is a diamond blade and it's specifically metal cutting.
>>2957953>How do these multi wheels compare to dedicated metal-cutting diamond wheels?Are they actually any different, or just marketed as a end all be all solution to appeal to monkey brains? I've used my metal diamond blades to cut concrete. Never actually been around one of the "multi wheels" to see if there is any real difference.
>>2958051This is one of the things I'm wondering.On the one hand, it's diamond on an angle grinder, it's brutally simple and there shouldn't be much it shouldn't tear through. On the other, you actually see a ton of diversity in things like "tooth" count and hole patterns, dedicated masonry wheels look totally different, there's probably a range of how densely the diamond is packed and different steels will probably vibrate differently, etc. Does it matter? I have no clue

Scrappy here again and I have found a gold mine, but with a hitch. Behind an electrical contractor's building there are some dumpsters that always contain beer cans and copper wires. Copper wires can get good money, especially the bare ones. But there is a homeless male living in a tent here and he says that all of it is his and he threatened to cut me. I told one of the electricians and he said that the cops won't do anything. This situation is intolerable because the dumpsters are often full when the hauler arrives, so the bum actually collects nothing. What can I throw into his tent to neutralize him while I collect?
