I guess if someone is not using it, I could make some use of it for a couple of days since I've been getting high on fumes doing it the hard way!

Grant, get that thing in the rotisserie cause you want the Juice to run down hill to get some co=lateral use out of the dribbles.
Keep us posted on your progress so we can get this onwards to those waiting....like me.

Okay, so how much is needed to do a single car? We have at least two cars that are nearly ready for the treatment. A E36 BMW and my Merkur.

Probably minimum two 175 liter dewars.
Don't get them both at same time, get a fresh when you're out.
The stuff will cook off and disappear on its own in a few days.

Plan in advance, be ready, have the cars tipped up, work everything you can get to when its tipped over left, the tip and right and do that side.

You got a chipping hammer?


Get one.

So doesnt look like the death ray will make it my way in time to start stripping shell #1. What do I need to make one? What size/thread fitting is needed. This thread is useless without pics!

Usually 1/2" NPT but it really depends on what hose they give you with the tank.

Okay, so I'm pretty much ready, just need to get the death ray. Current plan is to do both shells stripping and seam welding on 12th and 13th. So if I get the death ray by then, I can send it out probably by the 14th or so.

Do you have means to video tape it? It would be kinda cool to see how well it works.

You have to see something on TV to believe it works?
Words work for many people, reading ought to do.

You gonna ask your professors in Med School to put their lectures on TV?

Actually, you can pretty much get a college education on youtube these days. We were watching a bunch of diff eq lectures from MIT not too long ago.

And yes Timm. The liquid nitrogen and shell prep will be the first in the new video series we're going to do. Provided I don't drink too much and forget to bring one of the four video cameras from my house to the shop.

Okay, death ray is here. Thanks John for letting it jet around the world, and thanks Jason for getting it here so quickly. Really am hoping to get both shells done this weekend. Both are stripped and on jack stands currently.
Airgas guys haven't called back. About to call them to get the shit delivered. Rottisserie is over at another shop and they've been a little flaky about us getting it from them. Backup plan is the queen sized pillow top that's currently sitting in my bedroom. Side benefit of that is having somewhere to take a nap down at the shop in the future. smiling smiley

From Airgas, do I need to request a hose.
What about an on/off thing to start/stop flow of stuff.
Can this be done solo, or best to do with friends?
Welding gloves sufficient?

No one builds a death ray like Tim.

You have to ask for a hose, they are short, like three feet, It would be really nice to get 2 or three and daisy-chain them if possible. The valve on the tank works great. It would be great to have extra hands with chisels and slag hammers while its cold. Just chill areas about a foot sq. at a time. A sharp wood chisel works well. BIG-ASS welding gloves. I said it before, frost bite HURTS!

You thinking what you're thinking you better get two 175 liter cans delivered, you'll go thru the one on Saturday and be stuck pounding the pudding on Sunday.
GET THE ROTISSERIE, you don't want to be fawkin ariund, you want to move quickly before the shit cooks off.
Also get a BIG fan to blow the area so you can see, you don't want to be running the gas while twiddling thumbs waiting for the clouds of steam to dissipate.

And what the fuck is it with you never picking up the phone?

Yeah, about that.... winking smiley

Text him, and he'll call you back. He's works in some lead-lined building or something. And before "but my phone doesn't text!", there are you-type-it-texts web pages. in the intertubes. winking smiley

also, you can usually just e-mail the text to the phone number.

1234567890@email.uscc.net is the format for US Cellular, the carrier we use here in the midwest. other carriers use similar things, I'm sure.

My work building is like a Faraday cage too, two steps inside, and no reception.

As far as the video sequences of the LNDR, I think it would be neat to see. Especially of something, say, a small dog that accidentally ran in the way of the Death Ray, and someone accidentally dropped the chipping hammer on it....

or not.
