xflow7 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Haha! Reminds me of photos I saw of a guy lowering a canoe he built in his 2nd or 3rd floor apartment out the window. Looks like a nice build, but cupholders...?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambo's in basements, drag cars in kitchens. I really thought what I'd stumbled upon was a first . . . . . . .

scannon Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Holy crap! And I thought I was hot stuff when I overhauled my '65 911's engine on my garden level apartment's kitchen table when I was about 21 tears old. I also built a total basket case Triumph Bonneville 650TT motorcycle on that same kitchen table the next winter. With the help of a couple of friends we carried the 911 engine out the door and up the stairs to the garage where I installed it with a floor jack. I fired up the motorcycle and drove it out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scannon Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Charlie Brown hated the Kite Eating Tree, car guys should watch out for this... http://devour.com/video/car-grinder/ When I worked for Thiokol (a solid rocket motor factory) in the 70s I was on a project to design and test early airbag actuators for cars. We put prototype air bag assemblies in junk cars and fed them through a car shredder much larger and quicker than this one to see if they would ignite during the shredding process. Of the 30 or so cars we sent through none of the airbags popped. It was a permanent installation at a scrap yard. It was amazing to watch a full size car get shredded in less than 20 seconds. Walk down the line and the various metals each came out on different conveyers and the plastics, glass and upholstery on others. It didn't even slow down when a V8 engine went through the teeth.

scannon Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 The neighbors had to love that!! :smilielol5: Never heard any complaints about the bike. The neighbors were used to my noisy wheeled projects. What they complained about was my friends and I setting off various cherry bombs, M-80s and homemade explosives in the field behind the house so I guess a motorcycle engine, even with no mufflers was not such a big deal for them. Our favorite was the cherry bomb mortar. Stick a pipe in the ground at near vertical, light one cherry bomb, drop it in. Wait 2 seconds, light another cherry bomb and drop it on top of the other one. First explosion propels the second cherry bomb a hundred feet or so in the air where it makes a really loud bang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that's pretty cool . . . . but don't think I'll try it; I'm the guy that'd severely mess that up . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
