so far this weekend (as of 2:15pm sunday) i've worked 15 hours (at my "real" job) and attended the mizzou/texas a&m football game. i've got about 12-16 hours more to work before i go home tonight. it's hard to get anything done on a hot rod on the weekends when you spend all the hours at your job.

[SwitchbladeTeeth]

trying to figure out why my battery is not charging while the engine is running. so far figured out its not the battery or alternator...voltage regulator needs to be adjusted but i dont know how....see my other post to help me out.

[Elmo Rodge]

Changed the oil in the '36. It actually changes its' own oil as it runs but I officially changed it. Changed the front hubs on the Y2kota (tm). Oh yeah, bought a P-38 Belly Tank. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif Wayno

['Flyin' Dutchman']

Wow Wayno! A P38 tank! Cool!

I worked my ass off takin' my Triumph apart... I got it all done, it's a stack of parts now. That bike looked so shitty! Haha!
Now I can start making modifications to the frame, rebuild the motor, polish and chrome some parts, etc...
I can't wait to get the rolling chassis together again, but first I have to wait for some parts to arrive from the U.S....

[Unkl Ian]

Boxed up,and shipped,some Model A body pieces to No Surf. [ QUOTE ]

well,im sitting here wishing someone would stop by and help me bleed the brakes. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif i was hoping id get to drive it down the street,but i still need a few things i need to do anyways

i ran all the brake lines & hoses yesterday,bench bleed the MC, ran fuel line all the way back,BUT i need to mount them to the frame.hooked up rad hoses & fan belt,the charging system is working, reworked a gas pedal assembly(i still need to adress some issues on the pedal,but it works temporarly for now).

it seems like i spent more time running to the parts house than working http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif hehehe

i guess theres always next weekend...hahaaha

[Spike!]

Installed my new Packard lights in the Cart.. Got a nasty brake line leak coming right out of the master cylinder on the Coupe. Gotta get a new fitting..Junkyarding on Saturday with the So-What crew..

Spike

[JimC]

Sammy R., the fork truck guys at the plant Where I used to spend my days use a little pump with a resivoir filled with brake fluid.
The bleeder farthest down the line is opened and the highest or nearest bleeder is opened. Fluid is forced into the system and any air is forced upstream to the other open bleeder.
Dont know why that would not work on a car.
That way one person can do the job..
Since our company bought the pump, it cant be very costly.
Jim

[SleestakJones]

I took a look at the small picture.(rather than the big one)
I made a list of things I can do to the cars that don't cost anything.
grinding,sanding,prepping etc.

...and contemplated selling one to fund the other

At long last........I got my running boards back from Hunley Acuff in Georgia. He has molds to remold old Ford boards. They look NOS.

Got the right side installed. Makes the old 40 look a lot different. New paint and boards make the rest of the old piece look kinda shabby...... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Will install a rechrome bumper and guards after Daytona..

[Baumi]

I ´ve assembled the heads of my 327 and painted them, rebuilt my tranny with new seals,found out that I don´t have no more tranny oil filters and that tranny oil pans can rust through.Then I scored an almost new 5 speed Borg Warner tranny with a new GM bellhousing( fits sbc for sure, but has more bolt holes than necessary for sbc´s. Maybe it also fits Buick, Olds, Pontiac V8????)including a new clutch, new bearing and all linkages at a garage sale. After that I´ve mounted two tyres on rims and hung around on the HAMB. Now it´s almost midnight over here, another weekend done...

[D Picasso]

went camping down at Big Bend Nat'l Park.

found you can get a nasty 2nd degree burn from molten marshmallows....and that a pantyshield soaked in cold water makes a dandy ad hoc burn bandage.

don't ask.

[Action Girl]

Lots of Little Dumb Stuff on my 51 Chevy....

Got the auto-canceling turn signals fixed with some general McGuyver-esque rigging

Got the passengers side door latch working (would only release from the inside)

Fixed my spot lights! (turned out to just be a blown in line fuse)

Installed my Dad's vintage wolf whistle! (very fun and cool)

Ordered my fabric for my new interior which will be done in snow-leopard upholstery velvet...

[Mel]

Went to Chicago for a study tour. We saw the Heyman Corporation, Sears, Hart Schaffner & Marx, Field Museum, and the Art Institute. For class credit we had to find inspiration for a clothing line by shopping on Michigan Avenue/ Miracle Mile.

The best parts by far were the shopping, Chicago Style pizza, and watching my girlfriends dance on the bar at Coyote Ugly... I wasn't up there though, I can't dance.

[ELpolacko]

I pulled off a pretty big open house/party at my shop. Took a week worth of prep.

We served 30 burgers, 30 dogs and four huge briskets, three gallons of pasta salad, couple dozen corn cobs, couple gallons of potato salad and enough beer and soda to fill a three cubic yard dumpster.

Oh yeah we ran enough laps on the NASCAR simulator to run two actual races!

[Boones]

My weekend started of shitty, Wife was stopped and got rearended by a full size Dodge truck, guy was looking for his cell phone.. Luckily she make it thru OK but the guy in front of her went to the hospital, hit is head on the windshield (we was also stopped waiting for the car infront of him to turn...


Spent some time finishing up the garage project and dug out some old posters I forgot I even had.

[BLAKE]

Pulled the heads and intake off the coupe for new gaskets. Got the intake back on, but head gaskets won't arrive until Monday. In the mean time, I stripped the red paint off the heads - gonna run the plain aluminum finish for a while.

Also replaced two disintegrated front spring perch bushings - my good buddy Danny Burroughs is crafting me a replacement stainless shaft/bolt since mine was boogered up.

Picked up model A parts for a fellow HAMBer and arranged shipping to sunny California. For my trouble, I got a couple Model A cowls and possibly an Edelbrock aluminum intake for my 400 sbc. Got to visit my 53 Nash and 37 willys pickup projects stored at a buddy's house.
Took a mini [100 mile] roadtrip in the Porsche just to adjust my attitude. Played a bit on the HAMB.......

[Rocky]

And bullshitted with Tuck on the fone.......

[Terry]

Saturday morning went Junk yard hoppin' with my son

Saturday afternoon started making my version of a 34 grill. Thanks again Crease for the measurements!

About 7:00 PM Saturday night started a all night chop party at a buds house. We chopped 4 inches out of his 29 Sedan.

Sunday worked on the grill some more, then went over to another friends house and help him tune his blown 350.

Great weekend! But now I feel I got more done on other's rides than on mine!!!

That's weird, I got a cat and screwed a drunk.

After that, I went to Zhills and bought a bunch of sh*t i only sort of needed, then worked on cleaning out "the Barn" most of the day Sun. should be ready to populate by the end of the month target date.

[Rix2Six]

Helped raise $112,000 for ALS (Lou Gehrigs Disease) and got to drive a '67 390 4 speed Mustang coupe yesterday and a '67 Shelby GT500 Mustang with a dual-quad 428 4-speed today. I was in Mustang heaven... the GT 500 is a very sweet ride. I took some pics.. I'll see if I can upload them. Went by the show at Jack Lowrodders for about an hour too. Good to see the hardcores out there in the rain.

[KIRK!]

Finished front end swap and did complete rear end swap on the '47. FUCK YEAH!

[skyspop]

decided to take advantage of the rainy weather and set up my new sizzler track with my son,bought a 1970 set complete from a guy,it rocked.

[skyspop]

directions made my head hurt!!

[skyspop]

then got ready to paint the living room..Sorry if too off topic,but I thought traditional hotwheels might count..

[kustombuilder]

check out my thread titled "another model A tudor DESTROYED" and you'll get the full update on what i did this weekend. basicly i turned a tudor into a pickup cab!! it was FUN!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[purple]

<font color="purple"> Let's see, finished shaping the frame of a bicycle chopper, it's the first thing I have welded. Worked on shaping my new guage panel, and helped put a nose on a 57 bug that had been baja'd. A model builder's club meeting. Took a test for a job with the city, stage hand at the auditorium. went through 4 boxes of Hot Wheels picking out what to sell, that gets me about half way through the 30+ boxes I have. Mom went to the hospital so had to visit (she's fine, a bad asthma attack). And the worst, I got dumped. </font>

[Germ]

Swept Coles FLOOR, and traded naked slut pictures, and looked on ebay for NAZI collectables...

did my nails and made the kids work like cotton farmers in the shop for WEED..

went to an AA meeting with ZSA ZSA GABOR,,,

then punched her in the face on the way home...

oh and drank beers in the model "A'...

[purple]

<font color="purple"> Speaking of Nazi collectables, my dad had went in 1/2 &amp; 1/2 with his neighbor on one. It was a podium flag, the really long ones that hang behind the guy at the podium. My dad just liked wierd shit, but unfortunately the neighbor was proud of it cuz it turned out he was KKK. After a few weeks he sold his 1/2 to that guy to stop all the guys "friends" from coming over. they thought my dad would join them. Assholes. </font>

[Humboldt Cat]

Worked at the station this weekend, but around that was dodging rainstorms to get (even minimal) bodywork done on the cab. Bought my first digital cam, messed with it and found out why it's only $25, should of gotten back into teaching the gf's son to rebuild a carb. Speaking of which- Plan 9, the UPS reimbursement check is in the Monday mail- thanks!
Mostly waiting for dryer weather. At least I was gonna have to be at work this weekend, anyway.

[just steve]

Got ready for winter. Moved shit around in the garage so I could put the Bugeye away and make room for the snowblower.

Then loaded a bunch of '32 parts into the '54 Chebby pickup so I can haul it all to the chassis shop this week. Looks good with a nailhead strapped into the bed. Found my old aluminum skull shift-knob in the process -- one that looks like a high-school shop project.

Also stopped at an estate/barn sale and bought some junk, including an old military-strength shop chair. Damn thing looks like it should be mounted on a tank. One of the other things was an old "Road Knights" car club plaque that wasn't priced. The guy just said "take it." Cool.

later.
Steve.

[Rocket88]

Put together my new sandblasting cabinet! Anyone got an old vacuum?...cough...cough....

[Smokin Joe]

Bought a new Victor Blue Tip Attitude Adjustor Wrench.
Soon as I get some bottles I'll be able to cut anything that pisses me off into manageable, disposable pieces! I'll probably start on that friggin mig I haven't been able to get parts for. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[FONZI]

Had a damn good time at the Jack's Lowrodders car show. That is all I can remember.

[34Hupmobile]

I reinvented the wheel. I wanted the convenience of power windows with the look of original rollups. I made little gizmos out of 3 body washers and some steel rod that will activate the car's standard window switch by moving the widow crank handle up or down. The switch is hidden inside the door. I know, I know these are commercially available made from billet for $100 each. I just cringed when I thought about paying that for something that might look a little nicer but would be hidden inside the door and so never seen. I built in stops too so even a linebacker would have a very hard time forcing the handle.

[MrExotica]

I realized that, after much denial, I blew the head gasket on the Y-block in my '56

On the bright side, I did it (I think)while racing an Audi.
We were on the way to Superdawg. This hotshot in an Audi pulls up next to me at a light. I knew there was a huge pothole in his lane &amp; I knew he would try to race me. (After all, I have almost a 50 year-old motor in there. Besides, I had my buddy Pauly from Ireland in there. I had to make a good impression of Americans!
Anyway, the light turned green, I went first without a chirp. He went. I held him off until I knew he smacked the hole.
Mr &amp; Mrs Oilcan said the sparks were pretty!

[Donzie]

Worked on my basement retro livingroom and diner. I just found out that we're having my wife's family over for Christmas this year. That's her Mom, brothers and sisters (8), their kids and spouses and/or girl/boyfriends and their kids. Approx. 50 people. I need help!!
I haven't even seen the inside of my garage in days.

Nice Paso posters. I've got 3 hanging in my garage. I wish my garage looked as good as yours.
Only thing I did was to just drive the car around on Sunday. But I think a 60 - 70 year old lady was trying to hit on me. She wouldn't leave me alone. Kept honking and waving, smiling. If I wasn't married, I might have tried and get some.(kidding).

[skyspop]

Had to bring this back up,Nads and Germ were the best back then,also funny to read some of you other guys shit.Tucks talking about his phone calls like the ol ladys do in the small town daily papers.

[VonKool13]

I found out I have a FMX trans behind my 289 for my rpu. This was after I bought a Lokar C4 shifter a year ago, I'll bet they won't take it back and exchange for the FMX version. But I did get my starter stripped and painted, same with my headlights. I also welded the end flange for my glasspacks on one of my headers and got it painted. Progress is progress.

[296 V8]

Built really cool off topic shit
So it cant be shown or talked about

[barryvanhook]

I drove the hell out of my 49!
