"Definitive" how-to threads - post your links

Hey guys- If you know of a definitive how-to thread (or web page), post a link to it on this thread. After a week or so, I'll arrange the links in a logical order and put them in a locked sticky for easy reference. When new ones pop up they can be added.

I'm looking for stuff like Jim Lane's window motor thread, BC847's piston pump thread, and Den's 3200 RPM spring page. They don't really have to be that elaborate though - just a very clear explanation of some topic that you found helpful is good enough.

All right, have at it.

I built a modified version (larger intake opening) of the cold air BHAF per BC847's post. I plan on installing it in the next few weeks.

I'd like to build the CAB. Can either of you two guys who've done it give some measurements of the sheet metal to form the horn between the stockpot and the bulkhead? It would be a great help.

Thanks

Edwin

Why let that stop you? Just jump right in and take lots of pictures. We'll all benefit from your mistakes.
