Of course someone here would actually have it! Lol

Yup, that first bit is at the Ellensburg airstrip: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Happy thanksgiving everyone. Remember when the extended family arrives, that the shop is both heated and quiet.
Might have to dig a bit but I recall this being discussed before. If I remember correctly , the take home was that the inner bearing could be...
Not hot rod material, but pretty cool: https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/d/warren-1938-chevrolet-bus-project-hot/7664387110.html [ATTACH]
I’d have to go over the cascades or to Spokane to see it. Bummer.
Congrats on the solution! Neighbors love mufflers, I really dig the headers (and also the hats) thanks for the vid.
Has anyone mentioned calling your car “she”? Jesus I hate that. Its a car, not your girlfriend.
Bummer. Well, their loss.
I bought my coupe kit from these folks, really happy with the fit. I did have to wait for them to run a batch…worth it though http://fordwood.com/
I’d like the intake and carbs…not so much the rest.
Ahh, that makes more sense… I actually prefer the 3 window variety, so not a buyer :)
Wow, that seems dirt cheap for what it is.
My dad got a new tv last weekend and somehow we ended up on YouTube looking at his old 8mm of the Eburg drags. He tells me the yellow 57 belonged...
I just used an intake gasket as a pattern, seems to work well [ATTACH]
Just sheet metal clamps. I think from HF but you can find them anywhere https://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-intergrip-panel-clamp-set-8pc.html
Another diversion. Found this old river setter locally thinking i might use it for thin sheet or use the stand for a shrinker/ stretcher. Turns...
Make that three damn it. Advance Auto looks to be closing up shop. They seemed to have stock the others didn’t.
Transmission install…Check. [ATTACH]
I think a lot of the build threads, mine included, document our learning process more than anything. In those cases, probably a negative on the...
I remember that video too. I’ve never known if it was actually one of the real AG cars. The vid is 12 years old now. If a real one is out there...
My 53 dressed up, and dressed down: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yup, the vertical weld on the quarter is an oxy weld. I don’t quench, but I hammer the weld out if it’s smooth on both sides. On the bench with...
Good advice Joel, thanks. I’ll have to take a look to see if it’s even possible. It’s one of the little Lincoln pac (100?) units. I honestly...
No, just a little flux core unit. I shouldn’t complain really, it does the job.
Mig welding is SLOW. I want a tig. [ATTACH]
I think I’d take the weld down a bit and then try shrinking along each flange. If it can’t hold the contour, nothing lost.
Some low-tech bead forming tonight. I used a spacer to decrease the bead depth and set the edges using the bench edge ( my sheet metal brake). I...
Thanks!
