The Pitstop

While not the same body, the attack is going to be quite the same. I mean, you are the body master, no doubt, but those guys are doing awesome fab work on the thing.

Jonathan Musso

2nd frame which is mint, I will cut everything off, and build my own sub structure and floor

going to channel the height of the frame

Jonathan Musso

I am not master, just a noob with ambition, and maybe more crazy than anything lol

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

What you showed me looks more like a template than a work in progress.

Jonathan Musso

1:05 AM

I will start cutting it all a part soon

Just wait till you see that shit, when the roof is gone, oh em gee

DucatiKiller

Respect to you for going for it man. For real.

Crazy is good.

What are you going to keep?

@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 He's crazy. This is awesome. I love it.

Jonathan Musso

Thanks man , lol

Well, I have a potential buyer from Vegas for this one. So I will see how that goes

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

I agree with Ducati ... I'm looking forward to seeing your mad skills at work and what you're going to do with it. Like he said, I too have to live vicariously!

DucatiKiller

In the sixteenth century a painter would call that guy 'a sponsor'

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

ROFL.

Jonathan Musso

1:08 AM

hahaha

DucatiKiller

@JonathanMusso A put a link up there to the youtube series @Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 recomended.

Jonathan Musso

@DucatiKiller Ah my bad for not responding. Yes I got it bookmarked, looks great

DucatiKiller

no worries

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Oh, it's more than great. Those guys are awesome.

DucatiKiller

I've seen a couple of them. I wanted to actually watch all of them but....that whole time problem keeps getting in the way

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

1:10 AM

The main reason I'm suggesting it is because I don't think there is much left of the car they started with because I think it was in much the same shape as what you are looking at.

Jonathan Musso

But after identifying the parts on this car, looks to be rodder's from the '50s who were building it, or at least in that style. The rear and front-end is post war setups, with the steering column shifted a few inches and some interesting v8 motor mounts.

DucatiKiller

I want to see that. I need to learn more about dealing with rusty stuff and making it better.

Jonathan Musso

Good news is, a modern style engine will not rip the gears in the rear end, unlike the stock '35

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Noice

Jonathan Musso

@DucatiKiller only way is to remove it and put new metal in

DucatiKiller

1:11 AM

what will you keep? body only?

Jonathan Musso

pretty much, if you see the doors, I will have to cut it about 6" above the bottom hinge

and start the replacement panels there, same with the quarters

first thing to do is cut the rear fenders off, then the 3 spots where the body is attached to the frame, then lift it off

DucatiKiller

Do a daily video diary and explain what your doing. Then when it's done, trickle your episodes onto a youtube and get a bunch of hits

I"m planning your future. So don't say anything.

Jonathan Musso

lol

DucatiKiller

Then, you'll get underground notoriety and perhaps wealthy people will email you and ask you, how much for me?

Then.....<insert awesome success story here>

That's my plan for you. soooo, chop chop

You can talk now

Jonathan Musso

haha manager and all

DucatiKiller

1:15 AM

lol, but for free.

Jonathan Musso

nothing comes for free, immediately you turn into Don King

rofl

DucatiKiller

LMAO...

...only red m&m's in the bowl for Jonathan...and he likes cats, so have some kittens in the dressing room.....

Jonathan Musso

LOL

poor Mike

DucatiKiller

I do really think you should do a video diary

Mike?

@BobCross Hey

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Mike Tyson?

Jonathan Musso

1:18 AM

I assumed you were mocking Mike Tyson lol

Oh wow, 12 episodes of this Binky

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Well guys, I'm going to go see if I can knock an article out. Not going to have time to do it tomorrow.

Jonathan Musso

@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 Have a good one buddy!

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Thank mano. You do some great and wonderous stuff. Looking forward to the day I can say, "Yah, I knew Jonathan back when ..."

DucatiKiller

@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 later buddy

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Thanks :o) Have a great evening now you don't have to make donuts.

Jonathan Musso

1:20 AM

@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 ROFL. Appreciate it. Cheers man.

DucatiKiller

@JonathanMusso so you have a brand new frame? do I have that right?

Jonathan Musso

@DucatiKiller pre war new but it's in excellent shape compared to what you saw in the above pics lol

DucatiKiller

Nice

Jonathan Musso

basically can take the front/rear end and just bolt onto it, away you go, whatever mods need to be done can be done, no obstructions

DucatiKiller

sounds like you have a great foundation to build on

How long to get it driving down a road

Jonathan Musso

1:27 AM

that I have been thinking about, few hours a week I would like to see it drivable in August without paint

lol I feel this guys pain, so much rust in this mini

DucatiKiller

That sounds like dedication. Respect.

Bob Cross

1:41 AM

Hey

In and out for the evening.

@All - Happy Cinco de Mayo!

JPhi1618

1:14 PM

@JoErNanO I didn't want to answer it, but I made a comment about it in here.

I was saying, it made sense - not a bad question, but I don't have any real knowledge.

JPhi1618

1:43 PM

@BobCross, @Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2, @JonEricson, how do all these sites get designs and we don't? I just noticed that puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions has a non-beta design, and I know I've seen several others make the switch (like ELL I think?).

Bob Cross

2:12 PM

Done

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

2:42 PM

@JPhi1618 - We have to be out of Beta (Graduated) first.

JPhi1618

So those other sites are just poping out of beta?

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Puzzling.SE is not in Beta ... I haven't looked at it before to tell you whether it is newly out of Beta.

JPhi1618

Hmm, ok. Other than having a design, how do you know if a site is beta? Look on Area 51?

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

To answer your unasked question though, the progression is once the criteria has been met, the site does a design independent graduation which means we have an election for mods, but we won't get the design yet. Then, when Stack Overflow design team has the time, they will work on the design (along with members). Once the design is in place, then all of the permissions change (meaning you have to have the higher points to access the permission).

If you look to the right of our name on the main page, you'll see it says "beta" in light blue.

JPhi1618

Ok, searching some of the Meta sites, I see that puzzling just graduated and got their design almost immediately. Also, it looks like Worldbuilding graduated in November but still doesn't have a deisng.

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

2:53 PM

Worldbuilding has been working on their design, though.

38

Q: Worldbuilding Site Design Updates: March 15

Thank you for all of your feedback and patience while we made design updates. Below are a list of updates and planned updates. Logo Based on the community's discussion, we've made some adjustments to the logo: we added a halo, saturated the colors a bit more, and made the world a bit larger...

87

Q: Puzzling Design Pitch - Congratulations, you're graduating!

I'm Stéphane, a senior product designer at Stack Exchange. First, I wanted to announce that this site is now starting the process of moving out of beta to become a fully-graduated site! Congratulations! Graduation and Your Site Design Graduation comes with a few perks, which should come out...

discussion design

I think the Puzzling.SE design elements were a lot easier than what Worldbuilding.SE are, though.

@JPhi1618 - The design thread for Puzzling.SE was posted on 30 March, so I'd suggest it didn't just happen after they graduated.

JPhi1618

@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2, so getting a new job. I'm going to be scarce around here.

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Well, that's exciting and scary all at the same time.

JPhi1618

Won't be able to get online at work anymore so it will be only a few minutes here and there when I can.

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Your interview went really well, then?

Can you say what you'll be doing?

JPhi1618

Yep, they made me an offer on the spot, and I accepted via email once I talked to my wife.

Oh, yea, I'm going to be working on an email encryption platform.

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

3:05 PM

@JPhi1618 Now that was a good choice. Always keep the wife informed and in the decision process.

JPhi1618

I can't get online as much because they do pair programming, so I will always be working with someone else.

Rory Alsop

regarding timelines, Music graduated in September, our site design went live in March and first swag is going out next month

JPhi1618

@RoryAlsop, Swag?

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

@RoryAlsop - Yup, it all takes time.

@JPhi1618 Silly Wild Arse Gift

Rory Alsop

it used to be you got site design as soon as you graduated, but now it's a rolling team of designers, so the design comes along as soon as it can

Stuff We All Get

although it's not all

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

I like my acronym better :o)

Rory Alsop

yup - me too

Q: What Swag should Music.SE have?

Our site design is being finalised, as described here but there is a follow on question around swag. As @Hynes pointed out, T-shirts and stickers are standard swag, but a third can be suggested by the community, so why not get your thinking caps on and pop some ideas. (disclaimer, as a guitari...

Rory Alsop

it's worth having a think on that for Mechanics.SE

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Absolutely.

Rory Alsop

what would be a good swagitem for low cost

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Were you a mod over there before graduation?

Rory Alsop

@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 yep - pro-tem, then got elected in

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

@RoryAlsop - I think a complete Snap-On tool set would be good.

:o)

Nick C

3:11 PM

@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 hehe, I doubt they'd spring for that!

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

@NickC - I KNOW they wouldn't, lol.

Rory Alsop

stickers, notepad, that sort of price range seems about right :-)

Nick C

presumably we also need a logo too...

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

But if you don't throw it out there ...

Rory Alsop

bumper stickers seem likely

JPhi1618

3:12 PM

Bumper stickers for sure.

Rory Alsop

the design team usually take elements and guidance from the community, but mostly they are just very good graphic design folks

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

I am a big fan of the vinyl stickers which can be put on the window (and easily removed).

Nick C

13mm / half-inch spanner?

JPhi1618

Or at least some "performance parts window sticker" types...

Rory Alsop

@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 oh yeah - that's a good point

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

3:12 PM

@NickC 12mm is 1/2"

haha

Nick C

@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 agreed - especially if they are reusable

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

@NickC - Reusable or not ...

Nick C

@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 12.7 to be precise ;)

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

not

@NickC - :D

Nick C

I've had one window sticker in three different cars

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

3:14 PM

That's be cool.

So, we could come up with some design considerations, anyway.

Rory Alsop

my subaru and empeg window stickers come with me across cars

Nick C

though it didn't make the fourth, it lost it's 'cling'

Rory Alsop

a good logo for the site would be good to have in the window

@NickC think you can 'rejuvenate' them

sure I saw something on a forum somewhere

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Gears and wrenches.

JPhi1618

@RoryAlsop, MPEG, like the compression algorithm?

Rory Alsop

3:15 PM

@JPhi1618 it led to empeg, yes: empegbbs.com

single best car stereo in existence. Runs Debian Linux

plays wav, mp3, ogg, flac

can have SPDIF out, wifi, accelerometers, lyrics scrollers, pac man

I ended up buying 3

JPhi1618

Oh, speaking of stickers, I saw this murdered out Charger on my way to lunch the other day. License plate: PYR8T, small sticker on the left of the trunk: "Pyrate Edition", look over to the right of the trunk... Modified emblem: "CHARRRRGER"...

I lol'ed

Rory Alsop

hahahahaha

JPhi1618

@RoryAlsop Now that I see that link, it looks familiar.

@RoryAlsop, does the community get design input, or do the "professionals" handle it completely?

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

@JPhi1618 - For Mech.SE?

for instance?

JPhi1618

Yes.

Rory Alsop

3:22 PM

@JPhi1618 On Music we had meta.music.stackexchange.com/questions/2404/…

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

I've seen where they will take input from the community

I saw it on Worldbuilding, though I didn't see it much over on Movies.SE.

Rory Alsop

but we also had meta.music.stackexchange.com/q/92/104 years ago

so Joshua took ideas from that as well

JPhi1618

Ok, interesting.

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

In all fairness to Movies.SE ... after I ran for Mod over there and lost, I kind of lost interest in the site. They were one of the last sites to graduate prior to the introduction of design independent graduation.

JPhi1618

@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2, why do you think you lost interest?

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

3:25 PM

@RoryAlsop - They marked the older post as the duplicate.

@JPhi1618 - It is my belief, as much as SE doesn't want the voting to be a popularity contest ... it is.

JPhi1618

How could it not be?

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

I just wasn't as popular as the guys who won, which is understandable.

@JPhi1618 - I agree that it is. I did see over on SciFi.SE where one of the people who was very popular was doing stupid things after being elected. He was asked to step down. Now he has "Banned for Life" (or some such) as his avatar picture.

JPhi1618

That's too bad. I agree that it should be whoever will do the best job, but it's going to come down to votes.

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Now that same guy is over on Movies.SE doing the same thing, but not as a mod.

@JPhi1618 - If you are saying it's too bad I wasn't elected, it's not a big thing.

If you are saying it's too bad the guy over on SciFi.SE was doing what he was doing, it was a case where I saw it coming before it happened. I didn't think he'd be a good moderator, but "the popular vote" won in that case. I posted some stuff over on Meta.Movies.SE when he was speaking up about "stuff" which was the pot calling the kettle black ... I didn't like it and told him so.

Rory Alsop

And voting can be odd. There is a huge bias towards pro-tems, mostly as folks already know how they behave so are a 'safe bet'

JPhi1618

3:31 PM

I think you'd win over here. Popularity or otherwise.

Rory Alsop

Very high rep members of the community also have a big advantage

JPhi1618

Can you be a mod on more than one site?

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

@RoryAlsop Yes they do

@JPhi1618 absolutely

Rory Alsop

Although there are outliers - if you haven't got any of the moderation badges then that tends to look bad

@JPhi1618 erm...yup

:-)

Nick C

That's why they have the 'mod score' on the voting page though

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

3:32 PM

@RoryAlsop - Yup.

JPhi1618

@RoryAlsop, I thought you were a mod on multiples, but wasn't sure.

Rory Alsop

@NickC exactly

Nick C

so you can see more than just rep

JPhi1618

What is a Mod score?

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

@NickC - I often wonder how well that's looked at though, lol.

Nick C

3:33 PM

@JPhi1618 It shows you how good a candidate is at doing mod type stuff

Rory Alsop

@JPhi1618 heh heh - I'm afraid so. Two elected, 3 pro-tem, and two asked in due to specific circumstances

Nick C

so how many mod badges they have, etc

JPhi1618

Oh, do mods have it, or is it just an election thing?

Nick C

just in elections

JPhi1618

Oh ok.

Nick C

3:34 PM

score out of 40 iirc

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

When you get to the "question" phase, it will have it in there.

@NickC - I think that's right

Rory Alsop

@JPhi1618 sometimes you get folks who don't make a big song and dance but do a lot of the right thing, editing, cleaning up posts, sorting tags etc., and this shows up in the mod score

it also has a part of it related to rep, but above a certain amount that gets capped

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Are there any sites we could point out going through elections right now?

Nick C

I don't think so - Travel just had one

but that's finished

travel.stackexchange.com/election/2

Rory Alsop

you can still see the info:

Nick C

3:36 PM

the page is still there

JPhi1618

I think I do remember seeing that on one election.

I think it was on SO, actually.

Rory Alsop

go to the More info about candidates section

Nick C

So an example, the winning candidate on the travel one:

candidate score 40/40
reputation >= 20k
moderation badges: 8/8
editing badges: 6/6
participation badges: 6/6

Rory Alsop

lol - it was only because I was looking at the users page to try and see how many had rep in various buckets (20k+, 10k+ etc) as that feeds in to the graduation process, and just saw he was a mod. realised at that point it couldn't be your actual sock puppet

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

3:48 PM

@RoryAlsop - You have any tools over in InfoSec which could do this?

JPhi1618

He should have made a profile on a site he never uses and linked his chat profile to that.

Bob Cross

@JPhi1618 exactly. It was funny at the time. Then I saw it in a comment and realized that it would seem super strange to someone who didn't know the joke.

Rory Alsop

@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 EnCase or Helix - but really they are only useful once you have had the training. They are complex forensic tools

Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

@RoryAlsop - I know there are tools ... I just happened to pop into the UNIX & Linux.SE and saw the question.
