[@olenilsen4660]

Massive? Not really... And they´ve got tons of tools and other projects going on in there. Also, some dirty work you´ll keep outside just to avoid spilling all over the floor. I´ve got a 125 sqm shop myself, but I still do a lot of work outside if the weather allows for it.

Ethan in his element and building the absolute coolest stuff he always had the desires to do, all thanks to this channel's viewers and Edwins incredible editing of Stevens perfect shots. It's been an absolute BLAST to watch this channel from the beginning to see where they started to what they are doing now. The future look SOOOOOOO fukkin cool for all these guys. Love to see how Ethans brain works and his skills to do just about anything he puts his mind too. And now that Padric is there alongside with his skillset, these guy are unstoppable! REALLLLLLLLY hope the firetruck project eventually gets some love.

[@josephmatuszak3855]

The orbitals will only take so much torque btw. Just as a prior military mechanic... giving ya a heads up.

[@jerrywilcox9890]

People do it all the time and have no problem and they have way more power.so what are you taking about.

[@Avetho]

I get that, but I'm pretty sure a C5 Corvette's motor makes around the same or maybe a bit less torque than the diesel did, I'd be more concerned about the transmission dealing with the input shaft spinning much faster than it was designed for and overheating. In your experience, would that be a notable concern?

When CADing the bolt pattern on the fuel tank. Take a photo straight on the pattern from as far ass possible (to get rid of distortion) then import to Fusion, calibrate size and make a sketch on the photo. Just one measurement required.
