The Jalopy Journal
Thanks to Sugar City Speed Shop for shining a light on this project. I'm only about half way through the thread (damn work getting in the way) but...
Pictures!
If the 57-60 box has the same shaft size whereas the arms are interchangeable, then he has a later pitman arm. My 57 had a 63 box in it. I sourced...
57-60 f100 boxes are different. You aren't seeing things. When most refer to "F100" for steering, they mean 53-56.
Model B/four cylinder I believe.
Maybe just leave it out and make a flat firewall?
I've planished MIG welds before, just takes a bit more work. I usually grind the weld down slightly to reduce the amount of material and to get...
All process. Typical TIG wire and MIG wire are the same wire.
I really dig it as-is!
As stated, much about hot rods is showing off ones craft. Since the cars of today need as much work to make them look good again as they do to go,...
The whole car is bitchin', but i really dig the column mount!
The weld is really just holding the ball in the bracket. The front suspension (spring, axle, wheel/tires) is carrying the weight of the vehicle....
Seeing as they are 14" wheels, my thought is trailer too.
Does this 57-60 have a chrome rear bumper? (circled in blue)
Don't be afraid to shrink on it. It shouldn't take much hammer work to get it straight. Also, try test fitting it. Hood sides don't have much...
I'm pretty sure there are several fellas in your area that would be able to help get your hood sides straight, even if they didn't have a...
I can understand that. So what filler do you use?
How, why, where do you experience this? I've never had a problem TIG welding using MIG wire. And I'll add that I use 3/32 tungsten (only because...
I saw a couple of them fly over my house the other week (I live just south of DV airport) after seeing you guys post about this in another thread....
Oh. . . the humanity. . . :D
Sounds good. I can se it now... "This hood edge is stretched, needs to be shrunk." *shrinks edge in mechanical shrinker* "Now it's fixed."...
Search "stretcher shrinker" or something along those lines. Avoid Eastwood. I had one and even after going through it a couple times, it still...
Hahaha. Maybe a friend then? :D They really are a very handy tool to have around. As for heat shrinking, whether disc or torch, some cool with...
Seems a lancaster/eckold mechanical shrinker would lick this in about two minutes. Then, again, I usually like to do things the easy way. . .
During the BJ Auctions, Craig Barrett said there would be a "permanent building" constructed in place of the tent, and that it would be done by...
Haha! I do see what you mean as far as the thickness. Looks odd. The aluminum hub also conjures images of wilwood brakes. Posted from the TJJ...
Are you sure Chip? I think they are repops. I think Jimmy knows for sure. . .
Greggy sent me pictures, but the JJ app won't let me upload them from my phone.
