Ahh! That brings back memories of doing mine wheeldog! And yes, it's a tight one! Just takes lots of study and contemplation plus measuring twice (or even three!) times and cutting once. Good Luck! Regards, Dave.
Thanks! One of the MANY pieces that will get finish welded when the mockup is finally done and I blow the whole car apart! Regards, Dave.
Going foraging for a carburetor tomorrow. Fleet account I deal with has a few takeoffs from trucks he has bought over the years.
Motor, trans, frame and rearend painted. Tomorrow it will be installing front and rear suspension and maybe drop in the motor/trans. Cliff Ramsdell
Not auto related, but I got my hall tree back from my older sister who's moving to Portland. Been in the family forever. She didn't have room for it in the new place, so I took custody. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Super... a real family tree... Saturday ; i pulled all the upholstry nails from my '30 coupe, had been done twice, second guy hammered the 1st's tacks flush... i tore out all i could... Sunday ; i come-alonged [4] the body off the frame and set on a rack so i can weld the bottom side of my rear floor kick ups... '35 -'36 door as cowl patches next... but lameness in my hands, arms, shoulders and neck have thrown in today's towell...
Today I started with a bare frame and sub assemblies. Got the chassis in pretty good shape, great day. Cliff Ramsdell
Went to the bronco swap meet picked up a rear sump oil pan. Thought about grabbing a steering column but wasn't sure which one would work. Got started on my hoist
Still doing something every night on the '29 Steelback, weekly flea market every Sunday allows me to buy stuff to flip and fund the build. Bob

Just saw the info this morning,got my reception ticket and motel this morning.Took about 2 minutes to decide.I dont work this weekend so it was a no brainer!!!
Grind down a few welds and put some seam sealer on the floor in the Falcon, make some seat braces, install them, and the seat belt mounts. If there is any time, a little light gunsmithing.
I think Fitchburg will have better stuff, please do a full photo report, I've never been there. CSRA swap is a real tradition for me, I've pulled a lot of good stuff out of there over the years. Hope the date change doesn't mess up things. Bob

Had belly button hernia surgery today so I ain't doing shit this weekend... Maybe do more research on welders
I have the NNL East on Saturday (big model car show) and may make it back in time for a cruise night. Other than that I may wash the Ford and vacuum it out. Also need to start specing out an electric fan.
