Seems like it had to be a lot easier to incorporate changes when there was someone at each individual station. Instead of using a single purpose...
I think you’re right
I’ve been attempting progress but have been at a bit of stand still. My cowl sides required repair at the bottom and a friend suggested that if I...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I made a little progress last night lower patch panels are trimmed and tacked in place. So far I’m very happy with it. I was not...
I’ve been plugging away making patches. The front cowl lower quarters have taken quite a bit of work, but work but I’m mostly content. I don’t...

So it has been a slow progress summer. I’m a teacher so I’m off for the summer so I had big goals… but I haven’t l completed as many house...
Thanks. I appreciate it and will keep that in mind.
Now I just need to get my foot in good enough shape to get back out there.
So I have not posted in quite some time. It’s hard to make the time. A couple weeks ago I slipped on a step going into the basement and broke my...
I could not find a previous thread to reference. What size inner tube is everyone running for 4.50/4.75-16 Coker Firestone 633500 Bias Ply tires?...
I haven’t posted in a while. Progress has been slow. I was trying to work progressively backwards on subrails but I wasn’t sure where my kick up...

I plan to do something similar. I love my clecos. At this point I have to make some decisions about the back end of the frame and whether or not...
If I’m not with the family, I want to be build’n hot rods. Went out for a couple hours this afternoon. B pillars are tight enough to tig weld… if...

I can appreciate the tenacity and follow through, but I sure hope it doesn’t take me that long o_O
How can you tell the difference?
Thanks. But I’m not sure I’m showing anyone how it’s done. You guys and your posts are my instruction manual.

Well last night I had a few more hours working on subrails. The the fronts under the extensions were in rough shape. One had to be completely...
Thanks Jeff
