Let's all help make BogusSVO a sponsor
Admins can we do this, as a collective?
I think that it would behoove miataturbo.net to give him his own personal subforum where only he can start threads. His posts are super informative and would pull in a lot of traffic from google searches. |
I vote nay, until he can figure out how to take pictures that are in focus. Well, his latest creation is actually pretty decent.
|
In for letting him show his stuff. Depending on the person it is really good stuff.
|
Behoove? You're really trying hard eh
|
better yet. we all donate $400,000 to me, so i can buy that fancy porchse I saw in C&D.
|
Rather set up a fund for a decent camera and a photography 101 class.
|
young faelflower is in love:giggle:
|
I've thought about donating my old Canon point and shoot...has image stabilization

Actually, looking at some of his pictures, it looks like his lens might be a little dirty, but mostly I wonder if the light is just poor and so the camera uses a slow shutter speed, causing blur. I'm not sure what the easiest way to fix that is, since flash is a horrible option for the kinds of pictures he takes, but there must be something to do.
|
just needs to find the macro mode button. (flower icon)

he needs to find the 'hold shutter half way' button and the 'turn off the flash and use shop lights' button.
|
or someone else to take better pictures.
|
99.999% this. Flash could help some, so long as it is powerful enough to prevent the ambient light from still causing blur.
Manual mode, flash, and 1/60 or better shutter will work if he has enough flash output. He could also try using auto mode and a shop light directly on the subject to get the shutter speed up.

I try taking the same pic 3 or 4 diffrent ways, Macro w/o flash, macro w/flash, Auto focus, zoom.
Sometimes the blurr is my fault for moving, mainly when I am trying to hold a part and take the pic at the same time. I do try to clean the lense often. |
Tripod, $28
Bogus, have you looked into a vendor account? I have a sneaking suspicion you would have half a dozen BPs show up in the mail in the first 2 months alone. I don't know how busy you are, but business is business. I've got at least one oldschool machine shop guy here in town that I trust to build stuff, but he is unGODLY expensive and takes FOR EVAR to get anything done. It took him 4 months to do seats, guides, valves and deck on the FE heads I sent him for my truck because his "buddies" kept coming in and asking for favors. Everyone else around here is a bunch of monkeys with belt sanders. |

FE heads? How many pairs do you want? LOL I started out machine work on old school ford, could be why I am such a stickler for valve tip heights.
To get FE built right it is expensive, normally all new valves and guides, 8 hard exh seats,surface the HG and exh sides of the head, plus broken bolts... about $700-800 Attachment 45345 A pair of 427 Shelby Cobra heads I did. As far as being a vendor.. I will think on that. Let me get a few more things done on Aarones build and see how that goes. |
Hahaha! Yeah, add another 15-20% and that's what I ended up paying for mine... but still, 4 months for a basic rebuild on a set of D2TEs? (Or D3, can't remember) Its not like I was having him drop CJ valves in it or anything. That truck is such a nightmare project... I do <3 the Duraspark distributor though, points systems can go to hell. Do you have any idea how hard it was to find someone who 1) owns a SUN distributor machine and 2) knows how to use it? FML.
But yeah, look into becoming a sponsor. |
Ahhhh I used one of those machines years back, in Vo-Tech school
Personally, get rid of the dura spark box and hook up a basic MSD 6A and call it good |
Oh, I did! Ford only put Duraspark dizzies in the FE for the 75 and 76 model years before they discontinued the FE in 76. The 75 hardware & electronics are specific to 75 production, the 76 electronics (other than the distributor body, obviously) is interchangeable with anything from a 302 to a 460. My truck is a 73 so I never had the Duraspark electronics to start with. I managed to get my mits on a 76 Duraspark distributor, have it properly rebuilt and recurved, and then used the stock Duraspark triggers with a MSD 6A I had buried in the garage. Crank to prime, pump it twice, she starts with no more than 3 rotations of the crank. I love Autolite carbs too :)
Now, if I could only manage to get more than 8mpg out of it... </threadjack> |

I heart the old FE's they are so easy to work on and pretty much bulletproof, my dads
Cant find the older pics of it, but it used to a be a 3x2 Barrel setup with some original Shelby america valve covers and air cleaner plates. still have the shelby america stuff, he just wanted some shinny under there i guess :dunno: Attachment 185911 |
Damn thats sexy!!
One thing tho... get a taller air cleaner filter, that short one is causing issues with air into the carb, by making it turn tight. |

unfortunately thats as tall as it can go, we had to smash the lower plate to get it to fit under the hood. we need to get the lower oval plate for a 4bl car so we can use the Shelby America oval air cleaner. that motor is in this btw

there is actually one like that out there somewhere. IIRC it was a 460 bored .60 over with a Whipple supercharger running like 8psi. it was ------- stupid fast, after it got traction.
|
shelby dual supercharged one of the originals back in the day. the orginal super snake. look up bill cosby's 200mph http://www.paxtonauto.com/images/sca...by-engine4.jpg

The grey stang looks to have one of the bubble scoops form the Fairlane Thunderbolts...
Dam some pretty Fords! |
