[kustombuilder]

cool Mike. Hotroddrummer just picked up a similar "STOP" light on Ebay. neat stuff... the tall rear spring makes it look reeeeeeal old skool. prolly ride like shit too http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif. it don't get much more old skool than a rough ride. LOL... keep it up Mike, you'll be rollin that bean down the road in no time.

[porknbeaner]

Mike,
That old fasioned stop light is rightous.
I've always loved that style of tail light setup, on a T.
Hey those tank straps are lookin' real good also. Boy someone must really like you? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Roothawg]

Good score...I want one.

[Antibilly]

I couldnt tell!!!!!! thanks beaner you da man!!
I havent touched the body in a week...Im doing everything I can to work around it. Ill forget all about the past and dive back into it again
brake master is next http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[porknbeaner]

So ya gonna be runnin' in May?
I'm thinkin' that we'll try and schedual our trip in May, between spring break and schools out for summer. Or is there a better time to visit Orlando.
Doesn't matter we be bringin' da camera and checkin' out your progress. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Antibilly]

May looks to be OPEN.......let me know when youll be around abd Ill set up a get together at the shop with some beers and booze!!
http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Antibilly]

it could be on the road by then Beaner!! its coming along rather fast so as long as the motor's good and I dont run out of cash!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[porknbeaner]

Cash, what's that?
Here lately I've just been doin' the stuff that I don't have to pay for. Its busy work but its the stuff that always bites you in the ass when its crunch time.

[Nads]

That tailight's totally killer homey.
I was at Zephyrhills, I didn't know you were there. I loked at a bunch of STOP lights but none were as cool as that one.
Are you gonna have to modify it to run modern 1157s, or is it good to go.

I like it.

[Antibilly]

Beaner...I jump all over the place when Im building. It all depends on the mood. If theres beer involved I try and hold off on the measured jobs!!

[Antibilly]

Nads they run single filament bulbs ya know...like one in each light.
and you also went saturday and I went Sunday so thats why you didnt see me.

[Antibilly]

Note the fine tips on the tank mounts..Nads pulled those off with a style all his own http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

[Just Gary]

Beautiful!
But if it were mine, I'd grind off those raised white letters on the tires.

[Antibilly]

Gary those are floater tires....they are just keepin it a float til I get the runners. thanks for looking out for me though http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

[dixiedog]

That is some serious progress you got there - when you firing the super secret small block mystery motor? One more question, what's that rear end out of?

[Antibilly]

Dixe Dogg its from a 1967 Camaro!!!
Im not sure of the fire date...Im trying to take my time and not rush to much like I tend to....hell Nads came over last night and begged to do some work on the body and I refused....I just wasnt in the mood to deal with the body...I ended up doing nothing on it. some times you just gotta sit back and look at it for a bit to keep the image flowing...

Then keep looking until those wheels and tires disappear. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif I know I know, they're just rollers. What are you planning to use?

[Antibilly]

Ill be running black wall 560/15's on the front and some Cheater slicks on the rear!!

[tommy]

I love the old stop lights. I had a pair on my old 34 PU. You can barely see them here. I've seen them in red, amber and blue lenses. I still have a few for future projects. They DO get your attention when you hit the binders.

[Mike B]

Mike, i'll bet ya Nads would be more than willing to do all the body work on that for ya. With all the practice lately, he is a master. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I wish I was there puttin some back and watching the greenbean unfold. Looks great.

[Antibilly]

Mike great to hear from ya!! man it was really great to meet and talk with ya! GOOD people!!!
I offered to drop the body off at his house next to the 54..but nooooooooo he wouldnt go for it.

nice light set up there brother

[Antibilly]

Just wanted to tell myself ....HEY great job last night on the body. I beat it, grinded it and welded on the top rails and hell man its just about damn near straight around the top rails..

Mike this is probably a dumb dumber dumbest question, actually probably count as dumb to the bone dumb, or fencepost dumb (sorry been trying to break out all me most descriptive termonology http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif) but are ya gonna try and make the door work? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Antibilly]

hahahahaah Beaner thats good!!! hahhah hell know man that door is sealed for life.... I got the frenched tail lights out and Im onto the frenched licence plate next GONE!! Ive come to the conclusion that the body will not be brought back to a shine anytim soon but it will have a touch of class of some sort...hell a couple of wleds last night and it feels solid

[porknbeaner]

Hey don't loose those lights, I might want to use them for something someday.
A rare (if not obscure) piece of hotrod history. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Antibilly]

your calling firebird tailights rusted to shit rare hot rod history?? you are bent my friend...sorry they went into the scrap metal barrel http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Antibilly]

As long as Nads dosnt stick around to long...my head already hurts http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[KCsledz]

Looks good! It fits well on that hump in the spring!

[Antibilly]

there was a change of plans last night...the master is so close to the trans and where the shifter linkage will be I opted to wait unitl the shifter is installed. But I did cut the old drive shaft down and make me a very nice little 2 plus foot drive shaft.

DOES A DRIVE SHAFT HAVE TO RUN 100% STRAIGHT?? MINE LOOKS LIKE IT WILL GO TO THE RIGHT A BIT DUE TO THE OFFSET REAR END?
