New RC plane. FMS 980mm P-47 "High Speed" version. A fun, fast warbird, not for novices because it's heavy and unforgiving at low speeds.

Also fits perfectly with wings attached in an E30's trunk which is a huge plus!

Probably a secondary air pump type deal that late e36's have. Or a mini turboLeave a comment:

Shoved the driver seat on, looks ok considering it was never meant to be on top of the original seat.
Waiting for hog ring pliers, silicon spray and hog rings rings.
Looks like the cut outs for the tilt mech is on the opposite sides of the back seat. Guess I'll be cutting it.

After I posted the headers I looked at CraigsList and saw these.
Toyota Tundra OEM Cloth Interior Seat Covers (2010 - 2018) - $200 (Peoria)
I texted the guy, asked if they were for a CrewMax & they are! we agreed on 150 & I drove the 60-mile round trip & got them.
I'm shocked they are the color I wanted & are for my body style. Stoked!Leave a comment:

That is a really good saw but it is just so heavy. This style is still really popular on the west coast. I used to have the Milwaukee version, but I found it to be too slow and it would practically take my shoulder out of its socket with the weight.
They are still used around here by the concrete guys for cutting rebar mostly. Most framers here use the standard Mikita Circ saw with the guard removed.
I like the Milwaukee version. I’ve gotten many years of happy use from mine.Leave a comment:

Phew, thankfully it was just the floor.That's why most modern saw have brakes on them.
During a renovation when my dad and I were partners in a const. company, we JUST finished laying down a nail-down 3/4" pre-finished oak floor. Well, pops hated those spring guards and wedged a shim in it to do a cut. Welp, he forgot and set the saw down on the floor before it wound down and it took off across the floor, gouging it all to hell. :/
He hurried up and moved the furniture back in as it was under the client kids' bed. lol
My GC has had guys who did similar things, or had circ. saws with gummed up guards that didn't always snap back into place. They would set them down still spinning and they would jump back at them. One guy didn't get so lucky. Saw jumped off a piece of metal and went right into his lower abdomen. Barely survived, as he cut up some seriously important stuff.Leave a comment:

I remember, on my first job out of high school, using very very old circular saw (not sure what it was, red embossed logo, polished housing) that had no guard and a 14" blade. I was doing demo work and just bringing down the house...literally lol. The thing took forever to spin down when I was done cutting too. I would have to wait so long until I could put it down lolLeave a comment:

As a kid we used to cut concert pavers with 7in dimond blade in my Gpas early 60's era B&D worm drive, I am sure your Gpas all had similar all Stainless uber heavy B&D stuff kicking around so you know the what I am talking about....
You talk about heavy, and power, I dont think 1" Steel plate would bog one of those down with the right blade on it... Once everything was spinning up to speed it would take for ever for that heavy ass Brass and steel drive line and 12ga copper wound motor to spin down with out taking something else out after your cut.... That saw was at least 13lbs and many they sure dont make stuff like that anymore :sad:Leave a comment:
