    Today I continue skinning the inside of the Bass Van with 3/4" birch plywood. I begin paneling off the area around the sliding door. I'll need to find a way to work around the sliding door's top track.
    Will it slide?!?!?
    I talk about the status of the bass van build off. Then I order new pulleys so I can install our new US Alternator and JY Power lithium batteries.

    That other item you couldn't remember on the engine was a smog pump I bet.
    You might want to go to the bone yard and pull a front accessory drive off another GM v6 or v8 so you get all the bolts of many lengths and all the brackets. You also need a different water pump (reverse rotation) the belt one is standard rotation.

    I think the build off results will be easy to predict. CAF will look like a masterpiece in fabrication to a point you won't even want to fire it up but just admire it visually. EXO will look like it was designed on an Etch-a-Sketch but his Tweaked reaction when he fires it up will convince you it must be the loudest to explain why he is acting as he does. Sound Mans just needs a monitor playing his videos as he will have you laughing so hard you won't care how it sounds as long as you can hear his zinger comments. Mead will be standing off to the side just shaking his head.

  • @DadsRCGaragePNW
    @DadsRCGaragePNW Pƙed 3 lety

    So idea bro. Hope you see this. About your door track. You could in theory make a new arm that has a different angle. You need some tension on top to keep the door tight. But a different arm could do the trick. You may or may not have to modify the track but if anything you would take that swoop in and move it towards the outside. I know your brain can come up with something. Happy building.

  • @DmonkeyProductions

  • @Doublethizzle
    @Doublethizzle Pƙed 3 lety

    Hello, I'm new here. My nephew asked me to build him a box for his car, being that I build custom furniture pieces, I told him - "sure, why not." Soooo, I watched an old video of yours (BOX BUILDING TIPS BVV#29) and didn't really notice any *tips* . . . nonetheless, I am hooked. Subscribed immediately. Now I just have to go back and watch all the old videos to understand all the jokes.
    Questions for any one that can answer (remember I am a new to car audio)
    1. Why *birch* plywood? Furthemore, why from Home Depot or Lowe's? Neither sell true cabinet grade sheet goods. My local HD carries a 7-ply red oak but it has de-lams all through it. I would think MDO would be a better choice for box builds.
    2. If he lives in California why not throw some solar panels on the Astros' roof? Seems like a Cali thing to do.
    3. The arm for the sliding door can simply be fabricated to bend upward rather than down. In simplest terms, just flip the bracket up. Can't imagine it would be too difficult to make a new arm that could hug the roof and still allow the door to function normally. Right?

    • @OtherDalfite
      @OtherDalfite Pƙed 2 lety

      I know this is a year old, but I figure I'll answer in case anyone comes across your post.
      Bitch plywood cuts way, way nicer and is far less toxic than mdf. And it smells nicer and isn't as sensitive to moisture. I've always got my 3/4 birch from Lowes and other than the very edges, I've never found voids. Looks good stained/polyeurethaned too if you want to keep the wood look.

  • @agent1543

    Can you lower the track and invert the arm? Just an idea, you can hide the track in the boards maybe? Might make it stronger and prevent it from rattling.

    @ripperace Pƙed 3 lety

    If that engine is a 4.3, do yourself a favor and get to a salvage yard that might have an old Chevy full size truck with the same engine or a small block v8. Everything will be bolt on, and it’ll save you a helluva lot of time looking for pulleys and bits to make the old accessories work with new pulleys. Look for 4.3, 5.0, 5.7 Chevy engines from 87 till the early 2000’s. The water pump is needed too, as when you convert from v belts to serpentine, the rotation of the pump changes too.
