In looking over the ingredients to Oxpho-Blue, it appears it is a "cold" Parkerizing, not a "cold" bluing. Some of the elements (selenium, copper, etc.) are probably there to give it the "right" color. The presence of phosphoric acid suggests to me a finish with the qualities of Parkerizing, which is rather durable.

Hot diggity dawg !

So much to learn on this thread , thankyou for taking the time ...

 

I dig the pipes. Visually the are awesome, and I bet they'll sound sweet.

 

Awesome work. Thanks for posting it up. Forgive me if you posted it, Maybe I missed it, but do you have a pic of the clutch pedal linkage? From the pedal to the fork? I am stuck right here on mine and lookin for an idea or 2. I appreciate it in advance

 

I'm so blue with with envy! They shure did turn out sweet.BD

 

this goes so far beyond amazing, that I have to turn my head away lest I turn to a pillar of Salt!

 

Dam, great quality of workmanship and thanks for sharing.
Fantastic thread, just went through all pages.
Please continue to inspire us..

 

Big deal. I build stuff like this in my sleep!


... Then I wake up and wish it was real.

 

Didn't miss it, I haven't built one yet. I ordered some bushings for the 39 Ford brake pedal assembly from my local SoCal months ago and have not received them yet. That is pretty much the last thing I have to do.

 

Steve, great work as usual.

Are you taking on 50+ year old limey apprentices? If so, I'm your man.

I think all us lesser mortals should thank you, a pro for sharing your secrets with us. It inspires us all to just push a little harder and try to achieve something better in everything we make.

I just put a big order in with Macs and that bush for the 39 pedals is not in stock with no date given by the supplier for when they will be available. Might be worth trying to find someone who has one on the shelf.

Mart.

 

Superior quality!

 

Insane!

 

That's both good and bad. THanks for the reply. I will keep watching. Again, great work!

This is the prototype, but yes we will be offering this style X as a kit. I need to build a second set and then pull some fixtures from those so I can start production. I'm thinking in the $1500 range for the whole set up


Put me in line for one these x & rear cross members when you get around to building more.
Great work!

 

As I have the products ready, they will hit the website. I will announce them on the HAMB also.

 

Hey Anthony! I forgot to tell you, while I was dealing with my cold/flue/black plague thing last week your 25 louver hood came in! It's here and safe, and I will louver it for you in the next couple of weeks.

 

Roger dat Chip

 

Steve,
You gonna do a tech on a 39 pedal bushings? Ten thousandths?

 

I need to get John Evans in on that. Maybe I can lurk over his shoulder and take some pictures.

 

Nice build!

 

The stars at night - are big and bright
Deep in the heart of texas.
The prairie sky - is wide and high
Deep in the heart of texas.
The sage in bloom - is like perfume
Deep in the heart of texas.
Reminds me of - the one I love
Deep in the heart of texas.
The cowboys cry - ki-yip-pie-yi
Deep in the heart of texas.
The rabbits rush - around the brush
Deep in the heart of texas.
The coyotes wail - along the trail
Deep in the heart of texas.
The doggies bawl - and bawl and bawl
Deep in the heart of texas.



That's all.

 

Second verse, same as the first... Can't wait!!

 

You forgot to add the verse of my 32 on its way to austin deep in the heart of texas.

I have to tell you that loading that car up today with Steve and Joel really made me sad that I will not see that car in person for a very long time if ever. I have to say that your car is one of the cars on my all time list of bad ass cars ever. Can't wait to see it finished and I wish I could be there to see the look on your face when you see the craftsmanship on this car. Congrats a bitch'n 32.

 

I've thinking how much I want to see this thing in person, and its coming for a visit!!!

Note to self - Bring Shamwow to the Roundup to wipe my drool of this bitchin hot rod...

 

Can't wait to see this mean thing in Austin! Will you be bringing the F100 as well?

 

I don't post often, but when I do, it is on a bitchin car!



Outstanding fab work. Thank you for sharing it.

 

Awwwww Shit

Don't be sad, it will only ever go 55 . Just look on the fender !!!!

 

As of right now 9pm my time they are on the road about to hit tucson. They are driving all night to Austin.

 

...and there ain't no SAGUARO in Texas!


The Saguaro's high - up in the sky
Deep in the heart A'zona!
It's hotter 'an hell - my brain do swell
Deep in the heart A'zona.
Lots of dust - vaccuums a bust
Deep in the heart A'zona.
Gettin' the blues - sweat in my shoes
Deep in the heat A'zona...

Sorry. Please resume.
