Ok I am installing lambo doors on my XB. The problem I am facing now is that I need to re-wire the wiring in the door panel. I believe I am going to have to move the wiring higher on the panel because right now the wiring is rather low.

First question is.... is there a specific drill bit I should use to drill a new hole in my door panel for the wiring to come through. Currently the hole is about 1.5 inches in diameter. Do they have a drill bit that can accomplish this?

Secondly I would like to solder the wires to make sure they have a nice good connection and won't come apart. In the past I would drive my car to a place that had a outlet I could use to plug my solder iron into and solder my wires. The problem I face right now is that my bumper and fenders are off of my car. So I am a bit leary of driving my car even a few feet in that shape. Is there some sort os soldering iron that doesn't need to be plugged in??? or am i just shyt out of luck? The outlet I use is literally like 100 ft away. So I guess my car would be safe for 100 ft minus the front and fenders.

My neighbor has one... says it's awesome

 

they make 100+ foot extenstion cords. They are kinda costly, but pay for themselves pretty quick.

Can't wait to see your doors Good luck!

 

That thing looks bomb ___. HOpefully I can find one. That woudl be perfect. If I can't find one then I will just drive my car VERY slowly around the corner to an outlet.

Anyone know about the drill bit? I tried drilling into the frame of my car awhile ago and I didn't make it through the frame.

 

So that thing really works? I saw an infomercial on it the other day and figured it was one of those too good to be true kinda things.

 

yeah.... my neighbor thought it was so cool he brought it over and showed me...

i'll probably get one too.. looks like a useful tool.

Here's some nerds review of it:

check out this quote from the end.. "Just imagine how 1337 you would be busting out the Cold Heat for some last minute touches at a LAN party or SPL competition."

LOL re: LAN party.

Icon, have you tried a hole saw? http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w..._ite=powertool

The ones I have are for wood, but I'm sure you could get one for metal. They ARE costly though. You can pick them up for way cheaper at a discount hardware store in the "cheap a$$ tool bins". You might need more than one to get through the metal though? I've never tried it, so I might be leading you down the wrong path

 

Actually I just foudn this as you typed it. They have bi-metal hole saws which are used for metal I believe but I read that Carbide Hole Saws are best for stainless steel. I saw a few bi-metals for like $12. I think I saw some carbide ones for around teh same price. I will also need a arbor so I can attach them to my drill. I think I am going to give them a try.

LAN party? Anyone wanna play XBox?
