There is no Clutch Poppers shirts as of yet, but it is something we have talked about, and Dave was looking in to it. I'll keep you posted if anything comes of it.
There is however, LG Kustoms & Hotrods shirts.

P.S.

Tell Dave that he needs to wear a face shield when he is using the chop saw. LOL.

It is a lot of fun, call me first though on a Sunday, as we don't always get together, and when we do it's usually in the afternoon.

One large shirt coming your way! And just an update, my truck is going in today for the new tires and alignment, and the Edsel will be leaving for sure on Monday to St Louis. It was suppose to be the 7th, but my Dad got called in to work this weekend.
shainerman is the proud new owner of my 58 Edsel, we traded cars, his shoebox is coming back up here to Canada to join the Clutch Poppers fleet.

[shainerman]

Awesome, im moving this weekend anyway, so that will be less to deal with for me. I hope the Clutch Popper enjoy tearing up the shoebox and doing it good justice.

We can't wait to get our hands on that shoebox!

DUDE!!!

I love what you guys got going on up there! We started our shop night for the exact same reasons you did and it has grown to be something like a machine. It just works. We have a blast. Your guys, shop, tools and cars are soooo cool.

Keep it up and keep the updates flowing.


Love it!

Johnny, I know you guys are gonna make me sick with how good it turns out, haha. I wish I had more space, knowledge, tools to be able to take it to the next level, but I dont. Ill be watching it very closely. All I can offer is to tell you the Edsel will be in a finished coat of paint by spring time.

[K13]

Really cool Lee. Definitely keep the updates coming it's super cool to see what you guys are up to. I will have to drop by and say hi sometime.

Well actually probably not too much will happen until my roadster is done. But after that, it's on!

I was just checking out your guys shop pics last night. Wicked stuff! I love the shop, and the cars. It's cool to see two clubs from two totally different areas, doing the same thing. Your post about living in area that sucks, and then making it not suck was bang on. I lived in the hot rod mecca of the universe, so-cal, for a year and half. Hot rod stuff going on every weekend, everywhere!
When I moved back to Edmonton, there was hardly anything hot rod related going on, and it sucked, big time. I came back in 2007, met some like minded hot rod friends, started a club for traditional hot rods, opened up a shop specializing in traditional hot rods, and now it doesn't suck! Well the winters still suck, but nothing I can do about that.
I want to see more posts from your guys Wednesday nights!

That Edsel deserves a fresh coat of paint. Glad to here your gonna be the guy to do it!

Well tonight was Big Dick Daves turn. While his 51 fleetline warmed up in the shop (after shoveling it out a huge snow drift) we cruised over to he o'l New West. Dave and Johnny had the meatloaf, while I had a mushroom cheese burger.

When we got back Dave started to jack the car up so him and I could bleed the brakes. Poor Dave should have never bent over to slide those jack stands under. I just couldn't help myself.





"Ahhh the fake penis touched my elbow!!!" cried Dave


Anyways, enough cock talk, back to the brakes...




While we did that, Johnny pulled all the plugs, cleaned them and gapped them. After that he cleaned the grille up, and bolted it back in.


Little dent action that needed taken care of


Not quite as good as new, but good enough for now.


Some steel wool...




Dave is such a dick sometimes


Once the brakes were done, I started cleaning daves overspray off the windshield. I know the windheild is getting replaced, but I couldnt stand the overspray on it. It just looked like crap.


While I was doing that, Dave started working on the exhaust system.


The exhaust never got finished before clean up time, but it's one step closer than before.
Once again it's time to put the chevy outside, back in the snowbank and wait until next time...




Here is another video for you guys.

Anyways, next week it's roadster time!

Thanks for the update Lee!! Weathers been great huh? It's always a blast to have to dig your shit out from under 2 feet of snow.

[Dee_Soto]

I liked it on the Canadian Rodder forum and I like it here. Keep on Keepin' On.

Haha we actually made Dave dig his own car out from the snow while johnny and I stayed inside and watched. Luckily he puts a car cover on it, so the car itself is not packed full of snow.

LOL well you are right it is definitley way more fun watching someone else dig their shit out than doing it yourself.

Roadster night!! Special at the new west was lasagna!
Tonight we crossed two items off the roadster checklist. The headers are finished, 100% done. And my gauges are now in the dash!
Johnny and I did the gauges. What a time consuming job!
We started off with 6 brand new Stewart Warner wing gauges, and a new brookville deuce dash.



Starting the layout (the most time consuming part).




And while we were doing that, Dave worked on finishing up the headers. They were pretty much done, but still needed a hanger and support rod made to hold them in place.


Dave making the hangers out of 1/2" round bar.




Just like a blacksmith...




The "Hand Model"


And Headers DONE!


Back to the gauges now. The layout all drawn out...


Holes drilled


And gauges in! But they do still need to be hooked up.




And how it sits as of tonight. One day soon this car will be tearing up the streets. Not too much left on it now.
